[QUOTE="The Car Stereo Company, post: 229965, member: 7124"] 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.[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] 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 [/QUOTE]
