Old, yes. New, no. Not what they used to be.

What's your goal? SQ? SPL?

mainly pretty good sound quality that can get decently loud, not looking for anything too crazy since im just going behind the seat. i might just try to get 1 10" thats a step up in line and port it. actually ill probably just start off with 1 10" ported and see how i like it, maybe add 1 later. listen to current rap / hip hop / r n b and 80's rock.

What's your budget man?

Dayton 10" HO DVC. Less than a 150 bucks each and AMAZING SQ.

Dayton Audio RSS265HO-44 10" Reference HO DVC Subwoofer

You can find it on Parts Express.

no more than 300 for the sub(s), about 250 for the amp. not counting box or wires ill say right at 500-550

There's your amp for 150. I'd look elsewhere, though if you really want true SQ.

ive always heard good things about the daytons just never heard any in person. ill look into them a little more

There's tons of videos online of people showing them off. Two of those ported should be PLENTY.

i see theyre only 350 watts rms each though, doesnt seem like much.

You don't need a crazy amount of power to them in such a small space as your truck if you're leaning towards SQ. I'd say it would be more of a concern if they were sealed. And from what I've heard they'll take more than rated pretty easily.

And they're 600wrms as listed on the manufacturer's site, not 350
