Moti Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I also have a 09 chevy crew cab. I have thought about upgrading my system. Currently I have a RF P3S shallow mount twelve in my truck. To be honest I am disappointed... that's why I am searching for other options. I saw a build on this forum where a guy was using a shallow mount Memphis woofer... those look like they are better built than the RF shallows. Their 12's can handle 500 rms vs RF's 400. So far I have thought about trying to fit two sundown sa-8s. I think that is the best option especially if you are going to throw around 1000 watts. According to Jacob and his thread... you can throw 400 - 600 watts depending on the box size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moti Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I don't think those alpines will like 400-600 watts of power over their rms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I know Alpine had a Type R flat at CES this year, not sure when that is coming out. Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I've heard a few good things on here about Pioneer's shallow mounts. Might want to give them a look if shallow mounts are gonna be the only real option. It's hard to fit speakers under those rear seats in a crew cab. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moti Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I went to a local dealer before I bought my woofer. They had a demo of the premier shallow and the rf shallow. The RF definitely sounded better and the only reason I am looking to upgrade is because I want more bass in my crew cab... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 A good friend of mine has a pair of the slim JL 12s behind the back seat in his F350 crew cab. And they sound grate he has tried just about every slim mount sub out there and so far the 12TW5 has worked the best.
