bigdawg Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I have a 4 door F-150 and am looking for a system. I recently purchased 2 10in JL W1V2 with a JL 250 watt amp in a custom box under the seat and they sound alright but I am looking for some brain rattling bass. I want everything to vibrate and wanna be heard by everyone at the stop light. Having some trouble finding the right sub especially for the all the open space in my truck. Any ideas??? preferably a 10 in sub so i can keep my box. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carroot1 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 even if you get a 10 inch sub you will be out of tune and will sound different. I suggest researching box building and throw some 12s in your truck or maybe a 15 with some power. Theres a box calculator on this website that helps you build your box (Torres Calculator) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Um....what? OP...what's the budget? What are you willing to sacrifice? Because it seems like you're wanting to glory of annoying everyone by vibrating your interior but not a lot of follow through thought. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

casemods Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 You're gonna need 500 to 1000 watts minimum. I have 500w 12w3 and I can feel it maybe 10 feet away but it's not that noticeable. Plus you have to take into consideration the position of the box in the car and the cars sound waves or something like that. Ever notice how you can feel the bass from the front of the car, but once the car passes, it's almost silent? This is mostly the case with SUV's though. I would just get as many watts as possible for your budget and get at LEAST a 12. 15 would be recommended for what you want and an 18 would be best. I hope you don't let the bass over power the highs for that super lame "ghetto bass" I've seen on some really shitty cars. Most people just slap in 1000+ watts of bass and turn the gain and bass boost all the way up, but neglect the highs (mids aren't really that important) I power 4 2-ways on the head unit but I turned the gain on the sub amp to half and the bass boost all the way down so that it's just barely a little louder than the highs.

Guest Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 really? you want to annoy everyone at the stop light? thats why you want a big system? its shit like this that makes common folk hate the true audio enthusiasts and all the laws that are taking effect. Plus you have to take into consideration the position of the box in the car and the cars sound waves or something like that. I would just get as many watts as possible for your budget and get at LEAST a 12. 15 would be recommended for what you want and an 18 would be best.
