I was looking through this section and wanted to see pics of what y'all got installed in your cargo area. I have an 08 and I'm thinking of going with 4 12's or 2 18's still. It sure. Currently I have a single Fi BL 12 in a 2.5 cu ft box @ 35Hz with an RE 12.1(first amps that cane from re before they sold out) just looking for ideas and wanted to see some different setups.

I have a 12" Havoc in a 1.89 cube box on a RF T1500bdcp. It takes up a little less than half of my cargo area. But it sounds really good and gets low. Modded is getting a similar setup but he's going with an Xcon 18, same amp. Fi are good subs. Same parent company as AA. What ate you looking to do?

If I get 18's I would like to get Fi sp4's if I go with 4 12's I'm not sure what brand sub yet. I've always had 12's I would like to try 18's

What's the SP4?
Let me go and look on the Fi site.
4 12 would take less space and knock almost as hard as the 2 18s will. The 18s may kill the lows better. The box the 18s will need is huge.
If I had 4 12 $$$$, I would go with that.

I think 4 12's will be good, but depending on power you could get away with 4 15's in a smaller box. Depending on tuning you will kill lows no matter what. Remember Cone area always wins.
SP4's are 4 inch coils and a looser suspension so they are a very music based driver and love power. What amp you using? Also what are your goals?

That's a nice set-up you have there, I haven't started on my system yet cause I just ordered rims and a drop kit for it. I'll probably end up with the 4 12's, as far as goals go all I am looking for is a system that is loud and sounds clean not
Looking for numbers.

Four 12's is going to pound! I had four JL 10's in my Vette and that was crazy loud. :emotions122:

You have exactly what I originally wanted how loud does it get? Is it clean sounding and not obnoxious? Not trying to be like the ricers around here haha

Thanks :)

JL - W3's
Rockford Fosgate - T1500 for subs
Rockford Fosgate - T600 for Hertz components

I've heard great things about hertz components. Very nice setup. Clean and well thought out. Did you do the install yourself or have a shop do it?

A shop did it. I have a bass knob in the open campartment near the headlight switch, so I can adjust the bass to the type of music I'm listening too. The system is loud, hits hard and most of all is clear! The shop also used a Rockford Fosgate 10 farid cap, Rockford Fosgate 0 gauge wire and a yellow top Optima battery.
My only regret is I didn't add Hushmat, Dynomat or whatever :disgust:

If you don't mind how much did the box and install cost and what would you recommend 2 sundown audio SD2's or 3? (10")

I had it al done at once and paid $4700 cash for parts and labor!

Pioneer in dash 6 DVD or CD head unit
Fosgate 600
Fosgate 1500
Fosgate 10 Farid Cap
Fosgate 0 gauge wire
Optima Yellow top
Hertz components in front and rear doors
Three 12" W3's
Custom box (black vinyl, grey suede and blue lights)

Sorry I can't comment on Sundown Audio :shrug:
Are you going two 10"s with the factory stereo set-up?

Regency, Sundown Audio subs are inferior to other internet brands like Ascendant, Fi, SSA, and so on.
They also do not have very good power handling. Their amps is what puts their name out there.
