I have a 03 silverado ext cab, need help!!!

Recommended Posts

Ok so right now I have 2 12s underneath the seat in my 03 ext cab silverado. It bumps pretty damn good. The amp is a RF power800a2 and the 2 subs are mixed 1 is a 4-5yr old RF punch HX2 and the other is a 1yr old eclipse sw7200.

Im wanting to switch out to something else. Ive been looking at the FIs and the REs. Itll have to be a sealed box since Im limited to space.

What do you guys suggest I get? Should it be one of those 2 or something else? I do later on planning on upgrading the amp to something that puts out about 600-700w rms to each channel

The other 2 subs I was thinking of were maybe some RF T1s or kicker L7s

are you up firing? if your thinking T1 or L7, you need a bit of depth. and you have roughly 2ft^3 net to play with, depending upon how your enclosure is built. so you need to look for a 12 that likes around 1ft^3 sealed to play.

depending upon how your enclosure is setup, this is the short list.

FI Q or SSD

SS Rl-p

SI Mag or BM

Mach5 Maw12 (but teh amp you currently have would be the biggest i would run)

RD Classics (same as the maw12, your current amp would be plenty)

IMO, i wouldn't touch a new RF sub, adn 1ft^3 isn't enough for an L7

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

Ill go take some measurements of my box right now. Im pretty sure its 1.1cu ft per sub.

Also yes they are upfiring so the seats will sit on the subs. But Im looking into raising the sits an 1-1 1/2"

The amp Im looking at replacing the RF power800a2 with is a RF power 1500 or MAYBE even the 2000

Any other recommendations?

Im still defintely leaning towards the FI or RE subs, but please recommend some more

if the box is notched, and the top is angled, the box will be roughly...

54" long, 10.5" tall in the front, 8.5" tall in the back, 14" deep. each main compartment will be 19.5" long, with a leg of 4" to clear the tranny hump, and that section is 15" long.

i wanna see how close i am, lol.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

I'm running 2 10" AA Arsenals. The new line should be out shortly (I hope). I really like the way they sound and for the price, it's hard to beat. Only about 6" mounting depth and the 12" would need around 1.2 for each in a sealed box.

Mrray youre were damn close

52"Lx14"Dx9.5" up front and at the end of slope 7.5" H

But I do have about 1" on each side to get up to 54"L I can go about another inch deep for 15 and could probably add another .5" minimum to the height.

With .75" wood thats 50.5Lx12.5D and AVG about 6.75 H

It does have a indention in the middle for the floor so I do lose some space there.

So dang I guess I roughly only got 1.0cu ft per sub if not .9........So yea it defintely looks like I should have a box rebuilt, but Ill wait til I get my new truck for that.

So this being said roughly .9-1.0cuft should I still stick with a SSD or RE SE? How about those Tc-9s?
