hey guys i have a 87 single cab and was wondering what subs you guys were running? i want loud and deep bass..but dont have much space!! i dont want to run a sub in the center cousole but possibly something behind the seat if possible. the subs i was looking at was a kicker L7 12inch or a JLw1 or something in that nature. i am 5' 7 so i can only recline my seat so much..lmk please...thanks!

 

I'm running 2 of the subway BMT 12" with extra meat...

 

You're gonna have a hard time fitting 12's behind the seat, especially an L7. Not just because of the depth but also cause of the airspace they require. Plus, a 12W1 doesn't compare to a 12L7, the L7 is twice the price and handles 3x the power. I would suggest looking at some 10's, like the JL W1's I'm a big JL fan. I'm 6 ft and a I wanted it loud so I did a bedbox, two JL 10W3v2's. Here are a few pics...

 

I'm thinking about a blow thru box also, we'll have to see..

 

^Win!

 

im planning on doing 4 infinity 8's. i dont think i'll have a space problem but you might try running a 10 behind the passenger seat. i have an 8" bazooka tube behind my passenger seat now and there is plenty of leg room still. i only had to move the seat up about 2"

 

i'm just kept it simple.. i have one 10" Kicker CVT sounds good enough for me..if you want something a little better look at the kicker solobaric classic

 

In my extra cab i had a single 15, Fi brand tuned to 32hz on 3K daily. Thing used to slam.

Heres a link to the website. They make a lot of speakers for other companies as well.

thanks for the replies...yeah the L7 is big and i heard about its air space crap. i kind of dont wanna run a blow through box for now because i plan to bag my truck later and might not have the space but i wanted to see what else gets deeep bassss for me...i love JL products too alot of people run the w1s because they are small but yet they can hit pretty hard to me...im still undecided.n how much would a blow through run you? and where did you get that sealer that goes around?

 

If you do one blowthrough most of the cost going be from the equipment. You can do everything yourself. Just cut it slowly. Make it nice.

Also nvrenufedge did his like that in case he does plan to bag it later.

 

thats true..where would i get the material from? like the rubber seals that go around the port opening?

 

im in the same boat as you buddy...lmao. i wnted a L7 but i sed nope cuz air space restrictions and i might make a super small blow through like 4inch blow through just for that extra space but idk we'll see...good luck bro hope u find wat you need

 

I got an extended cab for exactly this reason...

I love bass and dnt wana be wondering, "can i fit this"

I got he room and at some point ima use it. I got a kicker Comp. IM still building the box tho.

 

i have 2 tsunami 8's there round 400 watts a piece they hit harder than a lot of 12s and i gottem powered by a 2 channel 250 watt amp im 6'4 and i fit in my single cab yota just fine

 

10'' Kenwood set into a built up stock console

 

Im 6' and I got two 12's behind my seats in a single cab
heres my thread on how I did it. Im getting ready to upgrade my speakers and add an amp

Theres some good info here. If you get something in a moderate amount of power, it can fit behind the seat. Depends what seat/steering wheel combo you run as well. In my 78 I've got a 10" Memphis M class. It will fit behind the pass seat with it up a click or two on the slider. I don't want to sit closer. But those cabs are also noticeably smaller than the later era trucks. Plus have a stupid rear cab wall. You may want to consider running you amp under the front edge of the driver seat. So you can easily adjust it. I'm going to do that, and super glue a small dowel to the gain knob. So I can just reach down and tweak it. Initial tests show that I will probably have it cut a bit from 0 most the time. Which is nice. If somebody says it has no bass, I can crank the bass boost. Since I'm runnin an early 90s alpine amp.

 

I run 2 10" JL W1 in a built in box, really good sound quality for a single cab.
I have tried running a 8" JL W3 in a bazooka tube housing, hits like a ten. They dont make W3s, but they have a replacement series. get bucket seats & put the tube behind the pass. side

 

i'm gonna do 2 10'' JL w7 with 1 JL 1000/1 amp Blow-thru, I got the amp + subs, just need to get it rdy to paint the truck and take it get it cut It's going to POUND!
