How did you like those E10s? I’ve looked at them for some time and never heard a sundown sub. Was worried the Internet fanboys were making them out to be more than they were. If I had the space I’d really like to run some kicker comp q’s but would have to run 8’s instead and a custom enclosure made. Never thought of using 8’a as I use to run 12’s years ago in a large ported box. Would be concerned with the output so thinking foxbox with dual tens is the sweet spot without having to do a seat lift

Sundown Audio is legit. Their lower to middle lines are better than most anything of other name brands top line. I didn't know much about them till I got involved with a local group of bass heads. These guys are nuts with 50K in their systems. One guy has over 500K in 5 or 6 of his vehicles. He competes all the time and usually wins. I have two 12" Sundown Zv5's that are about 100 pounds each and ran me about $950 each. I have a Sundown Audio SALT-6 on them now with a 112ah headway lithium bank to power the amp. It's pretty brutal for a couple of 12's. I'll show you a pic of them. I wouldn't go Kicker over Sundown but that doesn't mean you won't get good results from them. As far as 8's are concerned you really need to get quality subs and a quality enclosure. Your doing more with less in my opinion but we fight for space so it happens. I also run a Gately Enclosure with four 8" Gately Relentless subs on a SALT-4 at .5 and it gets down pretty hard. I have not heard every underseat enclosure but I would say if it isn't the most brutal underseat set-up it's damn close. That enclosure is about $1500 with the seat lift and the subs are $400 each. Of course Gately just came out with a six 8" enclosure that I want....as if I have not wasted enough money. I'm gonna go back to the 8's I think and go more towards SQL and less SPL. I want to put my seat back in as well. I'll post a link to Gately just to check them out...very impressive yet rather expensive enclosures and subs. Can check out Sundown Audio Facebook groups and follow what's going on to learn a bit.

Follow this guy on Youtube, TONS of GREAT information.

Good places for gear

I'd recommend an amp from here as mentioned by Bad Packet/Can follow on Youtube and FB

Hell I even put a custom enclosure in my wife's 2020 Wrangler with a Sundown X8" on a SAI1250 Sundown Amp.

Thank you for the input and suggestions it’s really helpful. Hoe did you like the e10s in the foxbox when you had them?

Shane803

I liked them a lot, think I would grab the 750rms version if I did it again. I had an 1100 watt amp on them. I think you’ll be happy with either set.

I ran two type r’s in a fox box ported on a 16 F150. They would get pretty loud, definitely going to need bigger amp if you want to push them to their full potential. Best part about them is the price. They have shallow mount ones now but have no personal experience with those.

I did one Comp Q 10, .66 sealed off an IQ5001, sounded amazing, regular cab Ram 1500

How deep was the box? Surprised it fit and that’s really what I’d prefer to run but limiting myself to the fox acoustics enclosure as I won’t be building anything myself

Graygoose2021

was in RC 2011 Ram, it was a good 1" or more past motor, been awhile LOL
The Comp Q is pretty deep tho.
For any under the seat application.

The Fox isn't a bad enclosure, you will be happy with it. Long as you put some decent 10's in it and the right amount of power. Nothing less than 500rms subs and atleast a 1000 watt amp. If you wanna go a step further there are tons of people who build custom enclosures that might run you twice the Fox but worth every penny. Check out some of the Facebook Groups like the Sundown Group or Down For Sound Group, Bassheads on a Budget is a decent group, Basshead Life, Bangin Trucks.....so many.

Just looked this up....more options for you.
