Does this setup have an amp or would I need to mount an external amp?.....Your post says behind drivers side under rear seat, but pics show box extends across whole cab under seat....Not really up to speed on sub installs, any info would be appreciated.......Thanks.......

no prob...they have 2 different boxes a left side and a right side. the amp is external of your choice, I think the sub runs @ 150 watts continuous and 250 peak. amybe these pics will help

OK....Now I get it!.....Do they mount to the floor or just sit there?.......Did you run one amp or one amp for each sub?......What part of the country are you in?.....I'm in Columbus, Ohio............

Live on cape cod, MA. I ran 1 amp 250w continuious to both subs. they want you to bolt it thru the floor and I wasnt cool with that. so, I put some velcro on the bottom, though it doesnt really grab much, it doesnt even move at all even offroad in the bumps. probably dont even need the velcro.

only have the drivers side box. was in your area not too long ago, nice country

Thanks for the info.....I'm still researching prices and reviews on subs and enclosures.....I'm almost afraid to buy a used sub...Nothing personal, you just never know what it will sound like once it's installed...........Thanks again for the info

no problem! I know where you are coming from. I guess it depends on what kind of sound you are looking for. These boxes are designed to work extremely well in the specified vehicle.

Well, I dont listen to rap, so I dont need bass to overcome mid's and high's.....I listen to rock......I mostly need something to take the bass load off of my Alpine component speakers.....

do you want deep low bass or punchy bass low but closer to mid?

blacksab2 · April 2, 2003

punch mid to low is what I prefer......Deep low to mean sounds like sh&t!

ok you can get that kind of bass with the vantage box IF your amp has an adjustable range. or a couple of 8's or 10's depending on how much of the bass you want. the 8's are way punchier than a 12
