I have a ram quad cab that they will be going in. I will be using the center console for the placement of the subs. Dim. that I have to work with are 26 long 17 high and 15.5 wide. Those dims or smaller but I have plenty of vol. for a wide range of subs. Subs will be in sealed enclosure. I'm wanting sq but with a little attitude. I'm using CDT ES 06 for mid bass in my doors and CDT ES 04 and tweets in kick panels. My amp that will be powering the subs is a US Amps old school 100 HC. Would like the amp to see 1 ohm so I can get full use of the amps power. Aprox. 1400 to 1600 watts at 1 ohm. Ok I listen to all kinds of music but mainly rock and metel with everything else sprinkled in. I've thought about one 15 like soundsplinter rlp or mach 5 I've never heard either of them. I've thought about one 12, 2 tens heck even one jl w6 13. I know that the jl would run amp at 2 ohms but prob still a good amount of watts going to it. Anyway give me some input of what you guys think. All I have around here is all your name brand stuff like rockford, jl, mtx ext. you get the pic. I'm looking away from mainstream. I do like jl's just not their prices. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I've been doing a lot of looking at ssa, mach 5 and soundsplinter 12" subs over the last few days. Looking at youtube vids and talking to a buddy thats owned a few soundsplinters over the years. With out the ability to hear anyone of these subs unless I buy one, I've been looking at specs. such as qts, fs, bl and of course power handling. Most subs that aren't straight up spl subs have a power handling around 700-1000 watts. I guess what I'm asking is this, ssa icon 12 has a bl around 15, mach 5 around 17 and soundsplinter around 20. This tells me motor size and strength I guess. So does that make soundsplinter a better pic? I know this maybe over reading into this stuff but how do I make a choice just roll the dice I guess. Just because my bud has owned a few soundsplinters I would choose them but with their build house going tits up tc sounds I'm looking around one last time. Can anyone give me their input on what to look at and maybe their experinces with any of these subs. Thanks

Thanks for your replies. My truck is an 07 diesel. Chad, will a 15 the ones we've talked about play well with rock and different types of music sealed? It's been a long time since I've heard 15. I would also like to talk to ya about your amps behind the back seats.

anyone? I'm also looking at having the drivers fire down or if I use one drive then I might fire it back toward the rear seats. Any ideas are welcome. Thank you

No not really. Open budget right now. I've been quoted 1800.00 for custom box and 2 JL 12 W6's. I would like to be under that. They wanted 800 for the 12's. I thought that was a little high.
