I have a 2002 F-150 Supercrew (4door) and I would like to know if the downfire sub boxes sound and are good?

Question

I would like to get some kicker subs, but I don't know if i should go with 10 or 8s? I am trying to put new subs with new box because someone broke into my truck and took the two 10 kickers with box, and amps. So yeah i got jacked. I am trying to get new ideas to put in my new system?

I used to have a box on the back of my back seats, but the problem was that i had to put my seats facing forward all the time to get the bass sound and that's the reason i got jacked, pretty much. I am open to new ideas thanks.

Answer 1

Really depends on what you want out of your system.  

Generally, the smaller the sub, the quicker the response rate which translates into real punchy bass.  However, I think 8s may be a little small unless they are going to be powered strongly (i.e. matching up RMS ratings exactly).  I think 2 10s matched up to a good 2 channel amp is the best combination of punchy-ness and loudness.  

As you are well aware, showing off your car audio is not a good idea.  I suggest maybe getting tints for the car or placing the subs in a more hidden location.
