dbmachine Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Listen to mostly rock, country, metal. I already have 2 image dynamics 8" subs and want a little more bass. Amp is a pioneer new series 800watt 1ohm. I don't have the room to port being it's under a super shallow down fire rear seat in a crew cab f150. 1.2cu ft all I have. Don't know which would be best for this style music . Add another 8" image dynamics sub at a 1.33 load about 250 watts each or go with two 10" subs like a kicker cvr with 400 watts a piece at 1ohm. Open to suggestions. Less expensive to just add another sub then try to sell the 8"s to fund some new 10s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Is the 1.2 cu ft the total internal volume you have to work with?

Triticum Agricolam Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 How much depth do you have to work with? The problem with most shallow mount subs (and pretty much all 8" subs) is they have limited excursion capacity. With a sealed box output is directly related to cone displacement (cone area * Xmax) so you want to maximize that. I think going to two 10"s COULD get you improved performance, but they need to have pretty decent excursion capability to do so. Something like the Sundown SD-3 series jumps to mind.
