I recently abandoned my hopes for a free air set up in my 06 toyota tundra double cab. I tried a few ideas with a baffle under the rear seat in the storage compartment and nothing will keep me happy. I plan on keeping one of my seats flipped up and tucking a box behind it that I can remove easily when needed. The biggest box I can put in there is about 4 sq. ft. I have a soundstream class A 1000 watt amp and it was dyno tested at 1050 watts rms at .5 ohms. That is what I plan on using. I have ruled out the solo barics because of the lack of sound quality. I was thinking about the new JL Audio 12 w6 that is out but I am not sure yet. My budget is a slight issue but I would rather spend the money and be happy than by junk. I don't mind dropping a few hundo if I have to. What are the opinions on the new W6's and others in its class? Are any of the new Soundstream subs worth looking at? Any help would be appreciated.

Solobarics will have great SQ if in the proper enclosure.

Eclipse aluminum cone subs are a standoff favorite for me. A piar of 12's in a 2.5 cu.ft. sealed box will do the trick easily.

An enclosure that is built to spec and tuned properly.
If Jeff comes around here he can tell you...He's all about solo's.

There are a lot of good sounding subs out there.  So many that I would not personally do a solo-baric after all the negative things I've heard when you have so many others to choose from.  I would figure out what your goals are; space you would like to use, how loud you want it, money you would like to spend, etc. and then find a sub that fits that criteria.

I ended up with the 12 inch w6v2. I am sure there might be better speakers for the buck but I have run JL for the past three years and I am comfortable with them. The local stereo shop sold it to me for 300 bucks new in the box. That was the final selling point. Thanks for all of your suggestions and I will post to let you know how it turns out.
