04silvyhotrod Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm new to the site and looking for some help. I have done all the performance mods I want to my truck. So I figured I want to upgrade the audio in it. Its a 04 RCSB Silverado, the box I will be using is the sub thump box that can fit 2 10s or 12s. And has a place for the amp in the middle. Heres the link http://subthump.com/index.php?cPath=1_14 The speakers in my truck is shot, so I ordered the mtx thunderdome series for the front and back. And I ordered the JVC KW-R910BT head unit. As for the sound, I want good quality and some nice bass to go along with it. Nothing that will shatter my windows lol. I just want a nice sounding setup. Any help is appreciated. 04 RCSB Silverado- Full Bolt on 5.3, 4l60e, 3.73s 05 Pontiac Bonneville GXP- K&N Intake, 4.6, 4t80e Gmc S15 Trail Rig- Too much to list! 89 K1500- 4.3, nv3500, 3.73s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlamminBeats Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 any upgraded sub above factory will shatter your windows, especially if you our someones cousin. So beware. jk there are so many brands out there that its hard to pin point the best for you. its all testing. and preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolarbilz Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've done 3 shallow mount pionner built on back of cab with a 1000 watts and with exile comps in front with a pdx amp think was like 150wattz a channel no rear fill speakers sounded great. If you have bucket seats.take center console out and build a center console box with a down firing 10" with port facing forward on 1500 watts which I think sounded fantastic Bass amp fits hood under passenger side get a nice 2channel for drivers side. Just need move some stuff its easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silvyhotrod Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks for the response, but dont have bucket seats, got a bench. But I like the bench seat lol. Made alot of fond memories in the bench seat lol. But the best for me would be use the sub thump box behind the seat. I'm wanting to run 2 12s in the truck. But what subs and amp would go good with the speakers I ordered? I use the truck as a dd and want a setup thats clean and sounds good. If ya have some recommendation on what 12in subs and amp thats good for the box I have let me know. 04 RCSB Silverado- Full Bolt on 5.3, 4l60e, 3.73s 05 Pontiac Bonneville GXP- K&N Intake, 4.6, 4t80e Gmc S15 Trail Rig- Too much to list! 89 K1500- 4.3, nv3500, 3.73s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Best of luck getting anything "Useable" out of anything larger than a pair of 10s ... Pair of 12s "May" fit, but good luck with them giving you the desired output ... Sometimes ...

bcbrassard Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 A couple Sundown 8" in a box under rear seat would have more out put. What the depth of the box you want to use? For speakers to fit, and cu ft air space for both. Thats the factory and info you need to help pick out your subs. How much do you want to spend, watts to mids & highs, as well as watts to subs. Any electrical upgrade or batteries? Lots goes into designing a system. Welcome though, i hope you find the answers here to help build a nice system.

04silvyhotrod Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 The sub thump box says it has .85cu ft per sub. And mounting depth for 10s is 6.25in an 12s is 5.75. Im not wanting a competition setup so $600 for subs an amp. If 10s is better I'll run 10s. You all have much more experiance than me when it comes to sytems. So any help is appreciated. 04 RCSB Silverado- Full Bolt on 5.3, 4l60e, 3.73s 05 Pontiac Bonneville GXP- K&N Intake, 4.6, 4t80e Gmc S15 Trail Rig- Too much to list! 89 K1500- 4.3, nv3500, 3.73s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
