I have a friend who is dying to get my subs that I have now, but he's laid off from an oil field job right now and has a baby in the way so his cash is tight. I spent about $350 on the subs 4 months ago. He wants to trade me a PS4 with two controllers, 4 games, and all the original packaging. I already have a PS4, so I would just trade to sell it. Would I get most of my money back?
I've also decided that I'm going to go with the box mentioned above and get 2 Sundown SD-2 10's. They'll run me about $400, but if you know car audio, you know sundown is one of the most sought after brands out there. I'll continue to use my budget Hifonics amp for now, and the subs should see about 600rms each.
I've always had ported boxes, and I've never had a prefab, so I guess we'll see how this goes. In just excited to get the dinosaur box out of my center console location although it may be difficult because I put it together inside the truck :/

Do you guys have any recommendations then? I have a Hifonics amp I think it's the 1700.1 (not this new junk, the old ones that actually do rated). I saw sundown and I know they are big in the high quality car audio industry. I've also looked at some American bass shallow mounts. I want to stay high end and don't mind spending a coin if it'll still be loud. I'm not into all that sound quality BS, because when someone rides in your truck, not many people will even know the difference.

JLs have always been top notch. IIRC Infinity has some real efficient subs too. I went with my Audiobahns bc they were real efficient. IIRC theyre around 90-91db.
These boxes are supposed to be nice. http://www.supercrewsound.com/00F150ECdual.html
Like the post above said, the more efficient the speaker, the less power youll need. 83 does seem really low for a high end sub. I would try to find an amp asap too. Hifonics is considered to be low end. Not a good match with JLs lol.

I've been running Sundown for years. They are extremely power hungry. I'm running 1500w Rms and the Zone series begs for more. My next setup will be with thein new Z-series 8'so The dB rating has been improved by lowering the moving mass of the cone and coil it self. Really depends on what your looking for SPL or SQL. I'm a all around guy. I like my lows to hit hard but stay crystal clear. I listen to a variety of music.

Just make sure you match the subs resistance to the amps.
PS- Dont forget pics too.

For the OP, these Infinity's are accurate, very efficient at 91db and cheaper than what your looking at. Depth of 5 7/8" will fit under seat (My MTX's are 6" deep and are as deep as you can fit while still having 1.5" of breathing room in a downfiring configuration):

The Sundown page- http://www.sundownaudio.com/index.ph...rs/sd-3-series listed the SD3 10" at a 4.75" mounting depth so it would work in the box I linked earlier. I wouldnt go the JL either, but you asked so I mentioned em. I was really interested in the Massive Audio subs too. http://massiveaudio.com/collections/subwoofers Just make sure you match the subs resistance to the amps. PS- Dont forget pics too.

I will second selling off the 12's and picking up a set of quality 10"s. I really don't see how you could make the room for 12's under the rear seat. Even if you get them in there your looking at .60 cuft at best which isn't enough air space to get much out of them. You'll get more out of a 10" sub because it has air volume to compress vs the larger sub with virtually nothing.
I put two MTX 6000's in a 1.4 cubic foot enclosure with 900 watts feeding them and it absolutely slams. Very happy with it and it takes up zero usable space.
