obviously get some alpines. if its just a truck, you could get away with 10's, you don't need a huge system in a little truck.

I'd say Subway has the best subs, Quiznos(?) and Arbys cant compare.

the w3s have a better response for all types of music. but yeah, if you only listed to rap, the 7s are fuckin dope.

and that shit about bullet proof glass, i don't believe it. ive been in some cars that damn near make my ears bleed and they've got standard glass.

Rockford Fosgate.
Their "Punch" series bumps hard. Even the stage one 15".
I've only heard the 15" though.
Right now you can get two 15's for the price of one at crutchfield.com
Their under 7 inches deep.

i like the grilled chicken subs from subways and quiznos. the quiznos is better, but the subway is only $5.00...
but philly cheesesteaks are the best submarine sandwiches on the face of the earth.

I'm just about to buy an Alpine Type-R 10" and a Alpine MRP-M500 to power it. Going to wire it down to 2 ohms, so the 10" will push 500 watts rms. Going to be pretty nice. I'm going for sound quality, not huge boomy bass. Hate when people do that. I already have 6.5" Infinity's in all the doors of my WRX that are wired to a 4-channel Alpine amp. This sub/amp combo should complete my system very nicely.

you can always just turn them down.  I like having the subs not putting much effort verses some 6x9s sounding like they're about to blow.  I've got one 10 behind my seat and it's perfect for what I'm into.  A few of my friends have dose 12's and a 15 and yeah it's sick but I would never enjoy listening to it for more than a block.  So yeah I say if you care about the quality get decent ten but put the money into the speakers.  Oh yeah. Amp your speakers.  not even a question for me anymore.

Crutchfield.com had kenwood twelves two for like 130 dollars or something I got them, they sound great I have a quantum audio 2400 watt 4 channel amp off Ebay. Go to Ebay and buy new stuff off there last years products for way cheap. I also drive a neon so I don't think you would need 2 12's but pick em both up if you blow one or something ya know? Happy bumpin

Searchbar.

But what the guys who said don't get a sub. I agree. I have one, but it's a waste of space and weight. Find a way to fabricate 6x9's in there with a decent amp and your car will sound better than 90% of the tools out there with their "1000watt 15" Kicker subs".

I thought this was going to be about substitute teachers when I clicked on the thread, and then I was sad when it was speakers. But the whole thing was redeemed when it turned into being about sub sandwiches.

I love all sorts of subs
This place called Dirorios has so great ones
and I work at Dominos so I guess I should hype our new subs, try one they're toasty good.

Classic: Subway Club with bacon
The Mix it Up: Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki

IMHO the best Sub for a car is the Eclipse 10" SW8000. Every time I hear them -and I have even heard a triple 10" setup - they have sounded perfect.
However if you are going for pure slam (maximum SPL, sacrificing SQ) the KickerSolo-Baric are your best bet.

Don't forget an amp. I like JL Audio (I have one) but you want to match or exceed the RMS of the speaker to get the best sound out of it. This will work fine unless you like turning the volume all the up all of the time. Then you should just match the RMS. Or you will quickly blow the speakers.

Many people blow big money on a sub, get a whatever amp, and then wonder why their "awesome" sub sounds like crap.

My ride: 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2, 2 Polk Audio 6 3/4" components in the front, 2 Polk Audio 6 3/4" composites in the rear doors, Dynamat Extreme all 4 doors, JL Audio 4x100 amp overdriving the speakers by 25 watts per speaker. No sub yet due to me not wanting to sacrifice any cargo space.
2" front/ 1" rear Spring Spacer Lift. Edelbrock IAS Shocks, Michelin LTX 31x10.5r15 tires.
