I'll get some pictures but its fiberglass with a mdf top and they slanted the sub box so i can still have seat down when i want to carry passangers im gunna get another one done on the drivers side as well. i'll grab some pics and postem for ya guys. The great thing about running a square sub is u get awsome low fequenceys and a fairly shallow mounting depth.

Install is done and it sounds great. The custome fiberglass shell they made for the sub is sweet and clean. I can tell a bit that the sub is on one side so kinda wish I would have done two, but most wont be able to tell and for me the bass may have been a little over the top and probably would have to tune it down a bit. Probably not worth the extra money unless you really want to show it off but then again only a few hundred more to even out the vibrations in the pants a little

The biggest improvement overall was from replacing the front 6x9's with 6in component (6in in door and small tweeters mounted up close to the A pillar). This really allows for some acoustical seperation. These also run off two channels from the amp so they are really crisp. However, without a sub it just would not be "complete" so it is really everything that has to work together well.

Outstanding. The best part of it is that you bought some good equipment and it should provide you with many years of trouble free enjoyment. All to often people skimp and purchase inferior equipment. Those people almost always end up spending twice as much money in the long run when they have to replace it again. Good job!

This site http://www.subthump.com/dodgeram.htm has good prices on enclousures. I ended up building my own but would buy one of these if had to do again just because of the time it took me to get all the angles on the box correct.

wow, I have had the same speaker sitting in my closet for a long time, still in the box. I would never have thought it would fit. Can a adult sit in the back seat without damaging the speaker? Where is that stereo place.

I just heard the same thing from an audio installer with 11 years of building custom systems. The JL 8" 7 series is supposed to be the most accurate sub out there.

I have a 10" W0 and I'm looking for a 10" W6 to drive with my 350 watt Alpine. I will only use a JL box.
The W6 has a 3/4" throw I think, while the W7 has .9" of throw. My little W0 only has about 3/8".

Sound is the movement of air; get a woofer that can move lots of air with accuracy, and then you have a woofer!

And yes a single 10" good woofer will spank several cheap 12"ers, and sound much better too.

Keep your garage sale 15" speakers in the garage...

I have 2 memphis subs in a mtx prothunder box under my rear seat, sounds great. I wanted more so my local shop built a box to go under the center consul where that seat is, never put anything in the seat anyways, 3 10" subs total and it sounde awsome. If your not too crazy into stereos, then i'd go with dual 10"s. The thought of only having 1 sub offset would make me think the sound is always comming from one side.

proboxrocks.com has a dual loaded enclosure w/ 2 10"s or 12"s. They also have single enclosures also. Pricey, but durable. I had 2 compvr 12"s in the dual 12 setup and it rocked. Of course, i wanted more, airspace became an issue, and I gave in and got a big ported probox strapped in the back with a Kicker L5 15".
