What do you guys think about putting the sundown sd-3 10" in the thunderform box, if I can get a hold of one? According to researching, it's almost a perfect fit. Not cheap though. Of course not with the factory amp. Or what do you guys think for the biggest baboom to fit in there?

Is it a shallow mount? It needs to be in order to fit. Also figure in the recommended sealed enclosure volume. I fount a JL that fit the bill. It hits pretty hard with an amp.

i see lots of trees.
the mb quart discus 8 (DS1-204) is a drop in, so long as you leave the trim ring off. 8.25 (8.43 with ring) outer diameter, 7.24 cutout. which is well within tolerances for the oem 8 box. rated at 200w rms, 400 max. 2.8" mounting depth.

I got the kicker conp rt8 and it is pretty damn good. I don't listen to much music with lots of bass. But I was tired of having none in there. I am waiting till next month to order a separate amp to run the sub. The kicker fit perfectly in the stock box. Seems as tho it does need a little more room to get a good boom but, all in all it works out quite well.

I bought the 2ohms per coil kicker. At the time I didn't know there was a 1ohm per coil sub... But, thanks to "Sub" (the Subwoofer master on this post) I learned a whole bunch of stuff that I didn't know before. So my kicker is only running off 1 coil technically. But for a Yukon xl you know the sub is 8' away and still hits pretty good.
hi man, did it fit with no modifications on the enclosure box what so ever? no removing of ring cover of the sub? no holes drilling for screws? what is the full name of the kicker sub? is it Kicker 48CWRT84 on Crutchfield Website?

this one:

thanks alot man!

That poster hasn't been on here since late 2019. Don't expect a response.
