OPINIONS NEEDED!!!!

[strictlyhist8 0]

So I'm starting my next system build that'll be going in a Toyota tundra crewmax. So far that I have lined up is:

Pioneer AVH4300

Rainbow Germanium 6.5 comps up front

ARC KS125.2 or ARC KS300.2 for comps

ARC KS1000.1 for subs

I've been out of the seen for years now and I need some advice on selecting a pair of subs that will compliment the front stage. My old setup consisted of MB quarts and an single Alpine Type R 10'. This old set up was in a Tacoma. So I'm limited on space but I'm willing to give up some leg room. I'm not looking for SPL Competition nor SQ but a median between the two. Also being out in Hawaii (Maui) very limited to selection so I'm going to be doing this off of peoples opinions. So I narrowed down my choices to:

2 10' DC LVL 3

2 10' IDQV3

2 10' SSA DCON

2 10' DD1510

Will be wired in parallel to 1ohm.

So pretty much these are the choices because most of them can be run in a small enclosure ported or sealed. Maybe not for the DD. I can listen to the IDQ and DD at one of our local shops, but the other two (if I do pick either) will be going in blind. Oh and please no recommending type R's either, I had one and liked it but would like something that doesn't sound muddy. Thanks

From what you said your looking for the dcons sound like a great choice. Cant really go wrong with an SSA product. The sundown SA series from sundown might be an option to look into as well. I don't know you exact space requirements, but you could get a single 15 as well. Good luck

Yah haven't had time to measure behind the seat too find out how much room I'm working with. Just trying to do some rough research b4 I pull the trigger on one of these pairs.

Maybe if your short on space look into some 8" subs they don't take much space and really get down iv hear the sa 8s I do not own.

[strictlyhist8 0]

that was my first route to go with 8's. I was planning on doing three 8's but decided to try out two 10' subs. I don't know why but I guess I've always been using 10's and haven't really ventured off into the 8's realm.

If you were to give the space you are willing to give up for your enclosure it might be easier to give an opinion on what sub/subs to go with.

[ricksi30 923]

Out of those I'd probably go with the Dcons. Nice comps BTW

ok so I just measured the room behind my seat and these are the dimensions:

Width: 48.5 in

Height: 24.4 in

Bottom Depth: 8.5 - 9 in

Top Depth: 5 in

So I hope to get better responses on this set up. Either sealed or ported. thanks

[eggyhustles 33]

idq from that list

[Luke.H 33]

With that kind of room you could fit two 10s I believe. I like the idea of the Dcons or even two sa10s. Sundown is selling some b stock SA's too which might be worth looking into

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Two d con 10's will fit ported behind the seats. You might have to pull the seat up one or two clicks to keep the sub from hitting.

I had two IA 187's behind mine

ok thanks guys. I narrowed it down to the IDQ or the D CONS. With the ARC KS 1000.1 would that be overkill for either subs? If so maybe I should down the amp to the ARC KS 500.1. Also what would have the better output between the two? I'm looking for something that'll get loud decently, hit the lows and sound good doing it.

[sefugi 166]

I like the idea of the DCONS, ARC KS1000.1 may be a little strong but you could gain down. To save a little $ you could go with the smaller amp.

[97T5WAGONPIMP 115]

2 sa-10's ported on that 1000.1

all right guys thanks for the input. I'm going to pull the trigger on the d cons soon. I was wondering when I do order two, does it take the the week to build two of them or do they build one at a time for a order? So it'll be two weeks for both of them. Sorry for all the questions.

You won't be disappointed. I'm running a single Dcon and it is insane for a $115 sub. I would think that they'd build them both at the same time since they are going to the same place.

alright so I might scrap the idea of the 2 10 dcons and just throw in a single 12" Xcon. just wondering if anybody is running a single Xcon and if they prefer it over 2 10's?

[swagger_wagon468 53]

You went from dual 10" dcons to a single 12" xcon? Haha. Damn man. Make up your mind!!

Have the room for the xcon?

[strictlyhist8 0]

haha I know I'm one of those indecisive guys. I should be able to run the xcon if I were to take up the whole area behind the seat the box would net 2.3cft. Also isn't the mounting depth .5 deeper than the dcon?
