Yes 2 8" subs I originally had in mind. I've never heard an 8 in person! Just videos of the sd8 and sa8 online and reviews etc. Ill get some measurements when I get home. There's a guy who stuffed a ported box with 2 SA8'S behind hos seats in his regular cab but he's given up much more leg room than I'd care to give up. Ill get measurements and start my own thread when the time comes. But I'm leaning towards sundown SD10's...2 of em. They have a 1" deeper mounting depth than the shallow sub I'm using now.

This is why I havent pulled the trigger yet on any subs. Im up north at work and a few hundred miles from my truck so i cannot take any measurements of my truck. Id imagine the box will be a wedge and not that deep at all but will span across the backside of the driver and passenger seats. id imagine 42"Wide x 16" tall x 8" deep at base/ 3" deep at top. I just would like to stay away from shallow mount subs. unless someone actually says theres one (or two) out there that compare to a "normal" sub. I dislike my P3S. yes yes the MKIII aka the unicorn.

I've been following this thread closely! Looking to have my questions answered without having to ask them. Yes yes new member here but not new to forum etiquette! I'm in the same boat. Looking to replace my 12" RF P3 1ohm'd shallow mount in RF shallow box powered by about 350w RF amp which can't handle being run down to 1 ohm. It does it...but trips the thermal safety. Regular cab chevy Colorado. Was either going to cram 2 sa8s. Ported. Or 2 sd8s or 2sd10s. Medium large sealed box. Or 1 sd12. Medium large sealed box. Hopefully 650-800ish rms per sub at 2 ohms. Subs either facing out the sides of the box. Or out of the back of the box 2" away from the back wall of the cab. My friend has a type r 12 sealed with about 800w and I was amazed at how well it sounded and how deep and low it got. I assumed it was a ported box cause of how powerful it hit the lows. Turns out its sealed. Which has given me hope that sealed subs can satisfy what I'm looking for. Just looking to listen to some opinions.
