If i were to go with a single 15 with either the RE SX, RE XXX, or Adire Brahma....any one of those subs will perform clean and extremely loud..I would put the RE XXX over all of them as far as both SQ and SPL goes.

make sure you have ample wiring setup
0awg is what i would suggest for a sub like that (but i could be wrong), so dont forget to factor that in, i dont know prices on anything but the power will be needed, so make sure you know the wiring, and can afford it.
as for keeping that thing fed for power, because i've really liked the power i've got from my Soundstream i will suggest:
Soundstream Human Reign. i know its a 2channel amp, bridged it outputs 1600, which would work. im going to assume its an A/B amp because i dont know too many class D 2 channel+ amps. so the power draw may be more than you want for a daily driver if your running all stock parts (could be wrong, again)
i could suggest other brands but they are well above the 600$ range, and probably so with the SS HR suggestion.
you dont necessarly need 1600 watts, but if yur going for it its your call :-). didnt help a whole lot but GL.

The guage wire you choose is soley based on how much power you'll be running..first you need to choose you're amplifier....The RX subs i mentioned have a power handling of 1000wrms but they could take significantly more or less all day long. If you're going to go with a XXX then feed it some power because they love it!....If you didn't want to get crazy on money then I would suggest getting a Brahma 12..i think they're like $370ish..and then run it off a JBL 600.1...like $150 off www.sounddomain.com . Give us more of an idea of what you want and myself and others will pick an amp to match up.

just curious, if your trucks cab is smaller than an average car cab size, do you really need a 15 to give you the hit your looking for?
i thought with a smaller cabin size, the 'less'(sub size/power) you need for what you would need in say something like an old galaxy or bigger.
however, my friend ran a 15" in his old ford ranger for some time and that thing was heavy, you were engulf'd in bass. and another friend ran a 10" in his truck, and this thing hit even harder but was a sh*t load cleaner too. just a matter of what you want, if a 15" excites you'll we'll help you find an appropriate setup :-)
