2011 dc sub advice needed

I have a 2011 dc tacoma...I'm either guna go with one 10 or 12 inch alpine type s because it is semi shallow and there cheap or I found a great deal on two 8 inch kicker l5s. What would you guys recommend..I'm llooking for it to hit pretty hard but clean doesn't need to be to crazy but I want it still somewhat loud. My last ranger I had two 12inch rf p2s and I was happy wt that....thanks for the help

 

i would get a rockford fostgate p3 punch, my .02

 

elemental designs

 

What does element desighns offer? I'm not sure if I like the shallow mount subs I haven't realy herd any..ny friend had the shallow p3 with the fosgate box in his single cab ranger but it sounded horrible but he had a crapy 800 watt american pro 2chanel amp so I'm sure that's why

 

really? dang mine hits soo clean

 

Ya I hear there suppose to sound realy good..I'm pretty sure it was his cheap amp

i got 2 elemental design in my Db and they sound NICE!!! I need to get a better amp but the one im using now is pushing them pretty good but if i get a better amp they will sound even better.

 

Can I get a 10inch l5 to fit and still sound good....

 

I have two shallow-mount 12" Pioneers powered by an Alpine PDX-M12 amp and I am very happy. I was thinking of two 13" JL Audio 13tw5s, but they were at least twice the price.

 

but soooo nice!

 

You should get Brand X...they make the beeeeeeest shit!

 

I'm jus be simple and easy and just order one 12inch shallow sub that already come in the manufatures box...either a kicker fosgate or I found a realy nice lookin soundstorm 13inch stealthbox all about same price. What do u guys reccomed I'm going to order it in a couple hours

 

Bump

 

I dont like shallow subs because of the lack of low end bass extension. For that reason Im going with 2 IDQ 10" subs.

 

Just an FYI, Alpine just released a shallow mount Type-R in both 10" and 12" sizes. This was about a month after I bought my Type-S for mounting depth reasons. You will need more power to drive them effectively than a Type-S though.

Another thing to keep in mind is that they are SVC @ 4 ohms, so unless you buy 2 you won't be able to run them off your amp at 2 ohms.
