Hey, everyone. I've been out of the car audio game for a while but I'm looking to add a subwoofer to my 2016 Ram 1500 Quad Cab.
Crutchfield has a sealed enclosure for 8" subs that will fit perfectly behind the center console. I'm looking at running a Kicker 400.1 to a dual 2 ohm 8" Alpine Type R (they have one in their outlet store for a really good price).
My only concern is that it won't be enough. I listen to a lot of different music, but mostly hard rock/metal (Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, etc) and a lot of 90's rap, so I like it to dig deep at times. I'm just afraid a sealed 8" will not be able to do this. My last (and best) subwoofer was well over a decade ago. It was a ported SSA Dcon on 300 watts in a small SUV and I could get it to bounce the steering wheel.
I realize my idea sounds really weird. I'm looking at middle ground for budget. Nothing is set in stone, but I don't want absolute entry level and I dont want top of the line. I've never had an 8" before so I really have no idea how they perform. Should I just spend the money and go for an underseat enclosure (leaning towards a FoxBox) and a 10" or 12" so I won't be let down?
