Default Reg. Cab 8" Sub Guys?

Do any of you guys have an 8" sub in your reg cab? If so how does it sound? How big is your box? My main concern is sound quality. I've had a 12" in my truck and I'm sick of having too much bass. Also, my box gets in the way of my new console, so it's gotta go. What should I do?

Would 6x9's sound good behind my seats or would I be wasting my time?

8" subs in a Regular cab sound NICE. Not too much bass but enough to make you smile.
I would imagen they sound just as good in a ecsb.
The good thing about 8"s is you could probably mod them into your doors.

6x9s, waste of time


Get a shallow 10, which would be equivalent in output to a 8" sub, in a wedge style box behind your seat. It won't be in the way of your center console and you'll still be able to keep your seat decently far back.

a friends ex girlfriend had 2 10" kickers behind her seat with a 250watt amp and it sounded clean as could be.

I've got a L7 solobaric 8in. under my back seat, pushed by a 300 watt rockford, sounds great with rock and the occasional rap. hits just hard enough. IMO

I'm thinking about going with the same brand sub I have now, which is a Treo. And get the TSX 8", that should give me the right amount of space and bass.
