Hey guys,

I have an amp that can push 1x 740w or 2x 370w rms and I'm trying to decide if I should get one 10' sub that pulls around the 740 or two 10' that pull around 370 each? What would be the difference in sound quality/clarity? I want it to sound as clean as possible.

I guess my real question is, since a single subwoofer generally sits on the back driver's side with the f150-specific encolsures, would dual subwoofers make the bass in the truck sound more "even"? Or am I overthinking it?

 

Speakers don't "pull" wattage. the amp puts out 740w and the speakers take 740w. A single high quality sub will sound cleaner, while a pair of lower quality subs will be louder on the same amp. Bass is non-directional. You shouldnt be able to locate the sub by listening. there will be no "balance" issues with a single sub

 

What amp will you be using?

 

This one:

And I know PA stuff is considered garbage by the audio community, but I've used this for over 10 years and it gives me what I need. I'll probably use it until it goes out on me. Anyway, I can't use my Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1s anymore because the mounting depth is too deep, so I'm looking for a 10' or two.

I want to maximize power so I'll run it at 2ohm impedance. Either setup will consist of a sealed, downfiring box under the rear seat of my crew cab. Subwoofer setup considered:
MTX FPR10-04 (x2)

Kicker 40CWRT101 (x1)

What do you guys think between the two options? Like I said in the first post, I want it to sound clean... but I do want it to hit decently hard as well...

 

None of those subs is what you want. If your running 2 subs you will need 2 single2 or dual4 subs. If your only using one sub you need a single 4 or a dual 2. That kicker is dual 1 and the MTXs are single4. Also if your going with shallow subs you should run a 12 in my opinion. Are you using a prefab box? If so how much mounting depth do you have available? Some of those frefab boxes can fit a real (not shallow) sub that will kill those shallows

 

If you are going shallow, this is the only one I would ever consider. Stereo integrity BM

Damn, good call and I'm glad I asked. I was thinking I had to bridge it to get 2 ohm but that would bust my amp. No need to mess with the DVC, I'll go with 2x SVC 2ohm or 1x SVC 4ohm bridged. Thanks.

Mounting depth is about 5 inches I believe. I need shallow.

 

Yeah, Your amp is 2 ohm stable in stereo, but only 4 ohm bridged. if you used a 2 ohm sub bridged you would fry the amp. Sundown SD-2 10 will KILL any of those subs you posted and comes in at 4.75 inches deep for 159 each.

If your only running one you would buy this one and wire in series

If you want 2 you would buy this and wire the coils series/paralell

Let me know if Im being pushy on the sub recommendations and Ill stop. I hate to see anyone waste money on that shallow crap when you can fit a real sub
