Need sub-box for my new truck. I just told you everything I know about car audio.
Ok, I know NOTHING about car audio.
I had 2 RF 12s in my 04' RCSB with a 200w amp and an Alpine in dash.
I kept the amp and speakers with the bummy *** boxes that I had a local sound shop fab up for me.
I now have a 06 ECSB and will be installing all of my old stuff in it within the next few weeks.
I know for sure that im going to scrap the 2 individual boxes. I understand that a underseat, downfiring unit is the way to go, correct?
What im looking for is a quality box. I hear a lot of people telling me to shy away from the pre-fab boxes, and anything that is made out of particle board(I thought thats the only way they came).
As you can tell, I wont be entering any sound competitions, so I dont need the best box on the market, but I do want quality, can someone point me in the right direction.
thanks
BTW, im PRETTY sure these are the 12s I have

Ya down fire box is the way to go in extended cabs. I had mine covered in vynal to match the leather interior. As far as partical board I dunno. I havent lifted my seat and really inspected it but I was always told that partical board is the way to go but

i would say yes a down fireing box mine sounded good. built it myself lol j/k snake eater built it. i would take pics but its alittle on the bar-b-qed side. great thing about building your own is you can make it how you want. when you buy a prefab you might like some parts of it and not others. but some prefab boxes are great. it mostly personnel prefrence really.
