    whats up guys? i admittedly don't know a whole lot about car audio and i have a few questions. i have a nissan titan and am looking to get a system installed. i have a guy who is going to build me a custom box for a fair price but i need to know what kind of subs and amp i should get. i wanna get 2 10's and i dont wanna spend much more than $500. any advice would be much appreciated. thanks

    first question I am going to ask is how much mounting depth do you have to work with in that box and what is the internal air volume.. and is it sealed or ported. Then I can try to give you a sub amp combo in your price range.

    or what.. looks like you are going to build the box to the subs.. heh yeah didnt read it all the way. Anyways, still how much mounting depth do you have to work with? behind the seats or under the seats or something?

    well im not sure exactly what the depth is and all that cuz its either going to be a custom box for the subs or one of three different boxes that ive found online. ill post those dimensions below. thanks for the help guys.

    The first one is from SuperCrewSound and it says airspace is .75 cubic feet per sub with a mounting depth of 5 5/8".

    The second one gives me the following dimensions:
    Mounting Depth - 5 3/4"
    Width: 51 1/8"
    Height: 9 5/8"
    Top Depth: 13 1/2"
    Box Depth: 13 3/4"

    The third one has:
    mounting depth: 5.25"
    air space: .85 ea

    Also, this is a set up i might be looking at. If you guys could look at it and tell me if it would be a good deal and what amp i would need to run it that would be great also.

    what the hell.. i just tried to reply but it didnt work the first time... ill try to remember what i posted lol.

    anyways, im not positive about dimensions b/c its either going to be built custom for the subs or im going to get one of any of three other boxes i found online. ill post the info on them below for you.

    the first one is listed as:
    mounting depth: 5.25"
    air space: .85 ea

    the second one says:
    Air Space = .75 cubic feet per sub
    Mounting depth = 5 5/8"

    the third one lists:
    Mounting Depth - 5 3/4"
    Width: 51 1/8"
    Height: 9 5/8"
    Top Depth: 13 1/2"
    Box Depth: 13 3/4"

    also, i found this deal online that i might go with. if one of you guys could check it out and tell me if its a good deal, and if so what amp i would need to run it. thanks a lot guys

    I am not famiiar with the titan, It is a pick up? right?


    anyway.....you need to look at your allowable box volume first, you know, figure out what size box you can fit in the cab, THEN figure out what subs will work in it the best. DONT go out and buy a set of subs, hoping they will work good......buy subs that fit your volume requirements. Whether its SQ or SPL, you need a sub that fits your needs, you will be much happioer!!!!!!!!


    A sub in the wrong box will sound "peaky" not jhit the low notes and generally sound like crap. An 8 incher in the RIGHT box will outperform SQ wisw a 12 in the wrong box....i would rather hear an 8 play 30 Hz accurately than a 12 playing 50 Hz as its lowest frequency.......

    oh thats cool man, ill have to find out how much the powered ones go for. ive only seen the unpowered ones on ebay but ill keep looking. so do you guys think that would be my best bet or are there others out there that you think would be better.

    Viking - i posted the dimensions that i could find for boxes that specifically fit the titan. is there more info you guys need to help me out? just lemme know and ill look it up :)

    a guy (dealer) on another forum told me he could hook me up with 2 kicker l7's with a custom box for 350, is that a good deal or no?

    thanks for all your help guys, i can tell i like these forums already and i just hope you guys dont get tired of all my questions too fast. haha

    these only need 4-7/8" mounting depth once you remove the magnet cover and 5-1/3" about if you leave it on and only need 0.3-0.5 air in a sealed enclosure to run right. Sounds like a nice sub for your application. You can get single 4 or dual 4 voice coils. I was having a hard choice between these subs and the AA Assassin subs.. I would recommend those but they are a bit tall for your application.

    if you can get 2 L7's and a box for 350 thats a really good deal for the money.. assuming you like the way L7's sound.
