I have a '03 Ford F-150 and as many will know it has to have a shallow or slim (depending on the manufacturer) series subs. Has any one done some research on this topic? basically I whant input on what subs give me the hardest boom for my buck (if you guys know what i mean). Any kind of input is would be apreciated even if it is concerning size.

IIRC JL Audio has some very nice slim-line subs out that are supposed to be nice. Gonna have to pay though...

We've used the Kenwood 12", sound good but like lots of power. The Kaptions sound like one size smaller (12 like 10)

I just looked at an Alpine type S and it might be one you want to look further into. The 12 is a 5" mounting depth. www.alpine-usa.com

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

The new Stereo Integrity SI Mag has a mounting depth of 5.5" and the BM has a mounting depth of 3.5". Both are soon to come out and both utilize XBL^2 motor technology.

Power Acoustik makes a 4" mounting depth sub ( of which I haev 2 New in the Box), and if you can still find them out there, Audiobahn made a Pro Compression Driver with a 4" m/d. (i have a used one BTW if you're interested) lol

Kicker, JL, Kole, .... there are more, but prices step up dramatically for the altered baskets/structures.

Also, look into MTX Thunderform enclosures which slide under the rear seat or some f-150s mount on the back wall.

you can get them powered or un-powered with a 200W Class D amplifier inside the enclosure.

Available in 10" or 12" (some body styles)

MTXs website has a vehicle program to see if they make one for your f-150.

You might look into the Diamond Audio Hex shallow subs as well:
