Ok Nos I'm now looking at this setup since I'd like to have deeper bass so I'm gonna go with 12's
Supercrew Sound box Dual 12's
Ford F-150 Extended Cab / Super Cab 09-12 Dual Subwoofer Box
2 JL 12w1v2-4
12W1v2-4 - Car Audio - Subwoofer Drivers - W1v2 - JL Audio
And they are rated at 300 RMS so do I want a 300 watt amp or 500 since there is 2 of them? I'd get either the JL Slash 300 or 500
unfortunately the box is a bit small for those speakers. the internal airspace is .80 cubic ft. the w1 wants to see 1.25 cubic feet each, so you wont get a deep bass response because of that. that is where the shallow mount speakers work well. if you have a box and even though the speakers fit, there is not enough airspace then go with shallow mount. the one woofer i recommend from pioneer is the ts-sw3001. you only need .50 cubic ft of airspace so the .80 that the box you were looking at gives you, falls in perfectly with the woofer. i would hate for you to buy everything and not be happy with it. JL is a very good speaker but in the wrong box will sound like crap. in my personnal opinion the pioneers will sound better in that particular box. if you can find a bigger box then go jl all the way. even the w3 only need 1.25 cubic ft. trying to put a system together on a reasonable budget limits how much you are going to get. so to keep it fairly cheap look into those pioneers. if you want to spend big money then let me know, but i figure 55 grand on a truck might eat into some of your spending money
as far as your amp goes, any slash series amp will do you good but you will want a 500w amp. remember, match power (rms) from the amp to the total power of your woofers (rms). even if your amp is not quite the same amount of power, (500w amp and two 300w woofers =600w) a good quality amp will always put out.

Man! I really like these FoxBoxes! And being they are made only an hour and a half up the road down here in LA makes me wanna drive to pick one up! My only downfall is I want 12's. I called these Fox ppl and they did tell me I can fit a 10" W3 if I opted for the more expensive woofer. He advised me to use the W0's strictly due to cost factor and being the W0's operate at 90% design of the box was my better option. Knowing me though, ill I'm afraid I won't get the deeper notes. I don't listen to gangsta rap or anything like that but I do listen to dubstep and the typical rap/R&b songs that usually play on the radio........I have a 1200watt amp....should I be better going with the alpine type R or they're shallow mounts? If I go shallow mount, I think those would be best. Can you correct me or give me your insight?

because under the seat boxes are so popular, lets list facts.
they are very convenient.
they dont get in the way
they usually dont get stolen (by dumb thieves anyways)
many companies make them for many different trucks
now the negatives
they never fit the woofer you want
a lot of them are cheaply made
there are speaker depth problems with a lot of them
when a company says that a 10in woofer will fit in their box, they mean that any 10in woofer will fit. they dont do any work with speaker manufacturers. so they dont know how big to build the box for a certain speaker. a JL and an alpine 12 are both the same size but yet they both require different sized enclosures. just because the hole fits a speaker doesnt mean its going to sound good.
try to keep this in mind when looking for a speaker/box combo. remember, wrong box equals wrong sound
