12" sub help - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Im trying to decide on a new sub for my truck (07 Taco AC) I will have about 2.5 cubic feet of airspace to work with. Right now I have an 8w7, sounds really good, great sound quality. However my lows seem to be lacking a bit and I am looking to upgrade a bit (SPL baby) When mounted the sub will most likely be pointed at the roof.

I have about 12" depth to work with. And not a huge budget. If anyone can offer any assistance i would appreciate it.

Image Dynamics iDMax 12 v3 maybe? You could probably put two of them in 2.5 cu ft sealed or one of them ported.

I will also have to say Image Dynamics 10" or 12" DVC's.

I'll look in to them, they seem like they've gotten pretty good reviews. I looked at them a little last night. They seem decent.

you could go with a kicker 12L7 I believe they need about 2 cubic feet for a SQ box and it will sound great

If your going for SPL, I suggest a 12'' Fi BTL or BL. Depending if its going to be a everyday thing? Check out Fi if you can.

I think i am actually sold on a Memphis 12" M3. I heard one in a 2.5 cube ported box running at about 500w (way underpowered) and im thoroughly impressed. Im going to be running a 2000w PA amp at 1ohm (about 1200w)

I have seen some of the Fi's they are impressive (i looked into them way back when i first saw steve meade's tahoe w/ 4 Fi BTL 18"s) they are nice, but i have a feeling they will be a little out of my price range.

The memphis I am picking up soon is brand new in box w/ 4 year no questions warranty for 250.
