I have plenty of trunk space, so my question is what are some proven speaker box size specs to follow for this sub?

There's a lot of good info on the web- just depends on what you want out of the subs. we did 1.5 per chamber at 40hz http://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/699156.html

Depends on how many u plan on runnin.Sundowns can be played in small boxes and sound amazing.I had 4 in a 6 cube box tuned to 30hz in a crown vic.Go to sundown audio and look at the specs they give u,should give u a idea on what type of box u will need.

I used a boss 4000 watts hits hard for a cheap amp... Always have more power on amp then subs so you can hit hard it wont harm anything. Forget capacitors ... you need deep cycle batteries red optima .. one for alternator and one in trunk .. one amp per 12" .. Dobt forget to wrap ya doors and trunk with sound and heat barriers helps rattle .. Enclosed box best... for deep bass or open box for mid level

Any size will work, but I prefer to put somewhere between 18-14 gauge wiring. Also be careful with that box, it seems to be a little small for the sub. My brother in law blew 2 subs in one of those boxes. He then had a custom sealed one made with .70 ft and haven't had any problems

The minimum cu ft of air space per sub is .70. You won't get the deepest bass out of them, more punchy and tight.

i would say take the ones that are in the dash at the moment and the measure how tall they are. and then compare to the size of these here. i used these speakers and they actually did some work for being cheap lol

I highly doubt it, search crutchfield.com for the mounting depth. If your space limited, opt for the shallow mount slim version of this sub. You wont be let down with this sub. As long as you have an excellent power source and a correct size box.

Okay...I bought these the other day and I got the back speakers installed, but they didn't fit my front door speaker they were too small. I mean what would be the next size I should get??... BTW I have a 01 Toyota Sequoia.

Also don't forget to stuff or line your box with poly-fill (I pulled the stuffing out of my pillows). It gives it a more FULL sound. I used 50% off the box with the poly stuff. On the size of the box I was limited on space in my family SUV. My JL 10" sub was too deep for the box... So I built a 1" ring wood collar riser to seat my speaker screws on. It gave enough clearance in the back of speaker to fit :) Sounds Great!!!If you want deeper base use bigger box if u have the room.Dont forget to stuff it...or you could port. Try more then less stuffing, play around with it, have fun! Also don't forget to stuff or line your box with poly-fill (I pulled the stuffing out of my pillows). It gives it a more FULL sound.

I have the 8040 in a 14 x 20 and have been extremely happy with them. I had to dial down the sub because of downstairs neighbors. But I think the intent of having front and back-firing drivers was to increase the soundstage anyway. 8040s are plenty big for an 11 x 13 area.

I have a 1500 and got the R/T Dual 10-inch Chevy extended cab sealed speaker box and it has been awesome. Push a lot of watts thru 2 kickers and its held up good for a year to this point.

I think you'd be happy with this unit. In my Ram, I have mine mounted under the back seat. There's a dial mounted on my dash to control the sub level. I think it goes to 10. The Geek Squad guys set it to 2.5 and I rarely need to have it any higher. Nice thing is, the bass on my stereo speakers is now at -2, so the sub saves the wear and tear on the door speakers while providing that rich, full sound and good bass.

I'd say that's asking a lot from a 12" sub. My suggestion, go bigger and use multiple units (2, 4 or more).

absolutely I have two of the same subs running off of that very same amp. I have them in a 89 mercury Grand Marquis in a custom-built ported box the takes up the whole trunk when it was built to specs of the subs. For your truck I would suggest a sealed box unless you don't care about having any space left over. But that's just my opinion. Either way you put it, this setup will thunder. Beware hearing damage may occur. Lol

Your best bet honestly would be to go get a custom box built for this particular sub. Reason being the quality of the boxes sold here are TRASH!!!!!. Go to a shop and have them put the specs of the sub on a program and build the box for it to the specs of the sub.

Yes! This would be an excellent box for it. This is one serious sub box, I love it and gives off clean low bass.

That should be more than enough. Of course gains and such need to be properly set. This single sub bangs my Magnum very hard. Alot louder and more bass than my coworker with his 6 sub eBay special stuff. Haha my 1 speaker. Make sure to break in sub well. Don't do like I did and get impatient and start banging it too loud too early.

Look in the trunk to see if there is anything that may be in the way on where your existing speakers areocated as these speakers have a bigger magnet on the bottom than stock speakers. If you see nothing close to th you should be fine
