I have 2 12" Rockfords. Never had any problems and have pushed them hard. Blown speakers happen many times from distortion and a lack of power. I recomend getting a more powerfull amp than you need. JL Audio makes good stuff too. My amp is a JL Audio. 8 AWG power and ground should be big enough. Most wiring kits come with this size. Also get a gold plated + batt terminal if you haven't already.

i'm more than happy w/ my setup...

pioneer mvh8200bt headunit
memphis pr mids/highs
streetedge tweeters
kenwood 525 amp 4 channel amp
kicker 750 watt class d mono amp
10" dvc kicker cvr in custom box

yes, single 10" sub and it'll get loud enough w/ enough bass you won't sit inside my truck. now if you wanted more bass, sure you need more system... however, i look for GREAT quality and full range of music... i don't care about other people hearing my music, i'd rather have great quality inside my truck (or outside if i turn it up) than just have bass...



as for wiring; do it RIGHT. heavy wires. shielded rca's ran on the opposite side from your power wires... ground everything, fuse everything.. do it right.


if you want thin subs.. use the pioneer or kicker ones. remember you get what you pay for.

In my signature there is a link to my set up, Things that go bump bump. The only change was that I went with a L3 instead of L7 due to cost and the 'right here right now' factor. I prefer Kicker but to each their own. Happy reading.

Figure out how much mounting depth you actuly have at the shop we used to use those shallow mount subs but fianly figured out there mostly trash you can usualy fit some regular subs back there say 2 or 4 8s mabies 2 10s if you can angle things just right depending on your price ild looks into audioque sdc2 the 8s are 4 inch and the 10s are 4.75 deep
