    I was thinking of putting daul 12" bandpass subs in the bed of my truck with a custom flat aluminum cover or a camper. Do yuu think that the bass will be heard well from inside the cab with the cover or the camper??

    If ur doing a blow through either way will work. If ur doing old school and just removing the back glass then only camper will work. Good luck.

    Free air wont do u anygood. Single cabs get loud off of small subs. U can run 2 sundown 8s or dc 8s and those get down. I had 2 8 sa8v1. Everyone thought I had 2 12s. Just gta do research on subs and hear some in person on sound boards and youll be set. What island you on,?

    Only way to go is small subs big power. Like 8s. They only need about 1cube ported or as small as .50 but needs to be way over powered. If u do shallows theyll do u good to but wont hit to hard due to coil size. Xmax n throw.

    Jus woundering about the wattage, the w3v3 is rated 250rms and the w1v2 is rated at 150 rms, is 150 watts enough for a boomiee sound system? The best sub i had so far was a 8" bazooka.

    Most companies underate their subs. Im pushing 350 to mine. Takes it all day. Look into a sundown sa8. Or DD1508. Around 200 for sub. Look um up on youtube. Youll be suprised.

    Go with the sundowns. I plan on getting 2 or 4 for my truck an 4runner in a center console for both of them. You can find them on eBay for like 150 each
