Can you provide some more info on that system. I take it that the bed was cut.

Here is my 2 JL 10's

 

That is very true.

 

I don't have the measurements anymore off hand but I just measured how big I wanted to go and figured out how much volume I was going to need and thats it. I've had so many setups in my truck with different subs and the 5 10's is way way overkill in here but I did it just cause it would be different. Now that I'm getting older and don't care as much I'm going to build a really nice custom box with two 10" IDQ's and throw some nice clean power to them for a solid system.

The nice thing about the IDQ's over the JL's is that they require allot less air space, they handle just as much power, there allot cheaper, and they sound so much better in my own opinion. I used to eat breath and sleep JL audio for my car stereo stuff and I've had tons and tons of JL audio subs in many cars and for our trucks the IDQ's kick a$$! JL audio's are just used so much cause of the name and people automaticaly think there better cause of the past.

Now the JL W7's are great subs but then again for the money you pay for them you can get better subs. The JL's are just very expensive for what you get these days, waste if you ask me. Be smart, go with the IDQ's and you'll thank me later.

This box was built to ***** to handle the power so I coated the entire inside with deadner, screwed and glued to hell and back. weighs like 150 pounds though with the subs in it. I can't move it alone which sucks for gutting your truck.

 

ive always had good luck with cerwin vega subs thats what i had in my old truck b4 i got rid of it sold the speakers with the truck

 

RTKILLA, nice unisaw

 

The other end of the spectrum. The simple set up. I really like it for what it is. Provides some nice low end. Not to take anything away from the other awesome set ups, but this is pretty much all I need.

 

here is my system

Here is my setup, 3 JL 10W6's powered by a 800 w Orion amp under the seat which i don't have pictures of..

And the amp you see on the back wall powers my MBQuarts.

screw the Q logic box and go custom, that way you get get whatever you want. Mine is just a simple box, but they can get real tricky and make it look almost factory!

Meat bag I love the setup, thats how I kinda imagined the way I wanted to do my next setup with the two 10's only. Beautiful job!!!!

 

Oops ment to post the pics, sorry

 

Meatbag,

If you don't mind me asking...where did you get your setup done at? I'm not too far from Houston and am looking for a quality shop to do a system for me. Your setup is by far the one I like the best...Thanks

 

Meatbag, how much did those boxes run you if you don't mind me asking. Those look great!

 

The bed is cut. the hole is about the same size as the black grill on the inside of the cab. I saves a lot of room on the inside, but obviously you loose a little bed space. I went with three JL tens because the box for tonneau takes up the upper part of the bed and didn't want the speaker box to extend too far out. When I change the tonneau I will probably go with a different design for the box.
