I got a jl 10w3 in my 2010 scab and its amazing. Sounds like a 12 since I got a jl stealthbox and its ported. Jl is amazing in my opinion

 

How would it sound with just a regular custom f-150 box?

 

If its ported and fiberglass it would sound amazing. Im not a fan of the blow the doors off the car systems I like a good punch here ans there ans its perfect. I think it would sound great in a reg cab

 

I have:
(1) JL Audio W1 10" in a Atrend custom Ford ported enclosure
(1) 300 watt Rockford Fosgate Prime series mono amp.
(1) Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD Head unit
(4) 6"x8" Kicker KS68 speakers in the doors.

A $1800 system.

Sounds Incredible.

All ranges are crisp throughout all volume levels.

Kicker is a skidmark on the Audio section's underpants compared to JL Audio.

Spend a few more bucks and get a high quality sub.

 

get two 10's with a bass **** so you can control bass volume separately

 

Most Rockford Prime Series amps come with a remote "punch level controller "

 

I run an L7 10 in my car in a ported box which is just right. I have done each size of the L7 from 8" to 15" in sealed and ported box. The solo x was fun as well. It is apparently a $120 ticket here for noise ordinance

I would suggest the L7 10 or a CVR 12. The CVR likes larger boxes though...for small box, the L7 is a flexable driver in terms of box requirements. I have used the shallow mount CVR's as well which work good in tight spots, I used a single one in a ported box in my s10 that was alright.
