Posted April 19, 201510 yr I recently bought a 2010 GMC Sierra Crew Cab My situation:Ive already installed an Alpine IVE-535HD DVD receiver, 2 sets of Kicker RS Components, a Kicker IX500.4 amp. I have a Sundown 1200 mono amp that has been installed also and will be building an enclosure and buying subs next weekend. My issue is I am torn on what config to go with... Option 1 - (2) Sundown SA-8's in a 1.5cf, front firing, side ported enclosure under the seat tuned to 30-32hz. Option 2 - (4) Infinity Reference 860w 8's in a front firing, front ported enclosure under the seat tuned to 32hz My main objective is to grab the lows into the mid 20's with authority. Has anyone had experience in a similar vehicle with either two setups? Thanks in advance for any help/recommendations!
April 20, 201510 yr To get low low you'll want more surface area than a pair of eights, it'll just make the whole process so much easier on you. Icon 12" would be nice

There are very few good reasons to use one and the OP doesn't have any of those.

I just lost the drive to try smaller woofers after picking up towers with 10" mids. My head just couldn't fit around mids > woofer. Niche market?
