I would do either a N/A lq9 souped up or twin turbo a mild built lq9

But all that is expensive lol

What gear ratio gears you looking at? If you plan on going with bigger tires in the future gear for those cause regearing is $$$

I do a good bit of driving too and on my 35's currently with 4.88's it sits at 2k rpm at 60 mph. Not that bad and it's really snappy. It would be equivalent to a stock truck with 4.10's

Subs and box came today and my brothers stuff came too lol

This is the difference I'm going from deep 12s to shallow 10s

Here's how they fit

Overall they aren't anything special I'll just have to deal with it if I don't want a giant box in my back seat anymore.. I'll miss the deep sound but I'll enjoy the space.

I did the same thing as you except I had to go deep into specs to get the most out of my old shallow mounts. Your subs are probably going to rub and hit against those flap things that fold down with your seats. Mine did and I actually removed those two flaps and that grey trim piece to save even more room. Not sure if you did this also but I used the jacks screw down point and drilled a hole to accommodate it inside and then bolted it down to get it added to insurance incase it was ever stolen. My system consisted of two Kicker 10in compVT's, new model is Comp RT, with a kenwood KAC-9105D. Those things hit HARD and never quit. Was the best set up I had achieved, by myself, and I miss it. Never tried the pioneers so I cannot give you any pointers of the reliability or performance. Hope all goes well!

They suck I can't hear them and when I do they sound hollow and bad. I'm not at all impressed. And the reviews were good.

How are they wired?

Carder09 · February 14, 2014

How are they wired?

This ^^^ and what are the final dimensions of the box internally? What is the amp pushing as well? In case you didn't know, there is a 7 day break in period for the subs, at least, that is what some manufacturers recommend, some even longer. Pushing them hard too soon could cause a sub to kick the bucket. Moderate level should work. You will notice change and if not, send them back and grab the newest Kicker shallow mounts.

They are wired correctly box is .60 Sq ft subs require ideal .70 minimum .35 so they are fine they are 1200 peak 300 rms.sent from my truck in a field

I usually order from sonic electronix, best place to get stuff IMO, they honor their 30 day warranty then they will actually honor the manufacturers warranty by allowing you to send them the defective speakers then they ship you a new set so you don't have to wait. Just have to contact and request a return or swap out. Box isn't ported anywhere is it?
