1989 Toyota Pickup Single Cab

mcmedley · 09-08-2009, 08:14 PM

I am planning on putting a system in my truck. I already have the alpine amp and the 4 inch kicker speakers. I was wondering what kind of subs that I should put in my truck. They have to fit behing the back seat so they would probably have to be about 10 inches.

yup 10's or slim fit 12"s in a home made box

Do you think that 2 10 inch kicker subs would be enough bass with a 900 watt alpine amp. I love alotof bass and I want my truck to rattle.

I've fit those bazooka tunnel sub type thing behind the seats of my 84, 86, and 89 single cabs. Definitely not gonna be winning any audiophile competitions, but it's nice and easy and can be removed in a snap. Sound is decent too.

mcmedley · 09-08-2009, 09:19 PM

Well I found 2 10 inch sub boxes custom made for the toyota single cab. They come with the kicker subs already in it. Would that give me some good bass?

SwampThing · 09-08-2009, 09:29 PM

Totally depends on the sub/amp, orientation and setup, acoustic reverberations and whether or not there's all sorts of crap rattling around. You're gonna have to play around with it, or go onto the forums of the guys can't get it up (low riders) who generally specialize in small toyota trucks and stereo setups. And I'm not trying to be stereotypical lol.

Well I have an alpine amp 50 watts RMS x 5 at 4 ohms and tow ten inch kicker speakers. Is that good?

mcmedley · 09-08-2009, 09:58 PM

I'm sorry 2 10 inch kicker subs.

4gen5thtime · 09-08-2009, 11:02 PM

Thats not going to be enough at all. I would say at least a 200rms amp would get those 10s going. 50 is going to be a little weak. And you have a 5 channel amp which is good for setting up a full audio system with dvd. But most decks now a days put out around 50 watts peak.

mcmedley · 09-09-2009, 07:16 PM

Well I already have the amp so will it still bump?

abecedarian · 09-09-2009, 07:33 PM

50 RMS x 5 @ 4 ohm?
What's the THD @ 50w RMS

iamsuperbleeder · 09-09-2009, 07:34 PM

single 10" behind the seat in my 91 single cab, and a 1000watt amp under the passenger side of the seat

sounds pretty good, but I'm not going for punding bass, just some low range for cranking up the rock

it's a tight fit, and tall people have had a hard time riding with me, lol

but I'm a short guy, so it's all good for me

abecedarian · 09-09-2009, 07:37 PM

And you said you have a 5 channel amp?
Some but not most are 4/3/2/1 channel: 4 separate (2 front, 2 rear), 3 channel (2 front, 1 bridged rear/sub), 2 channel bridged (left / right) or 1 channel bridged (subs).

I had a 600watt 5 channel once a long time ago; it was some cheap off-brand that I got from somebody though, and all but one channel ended up not working after about 3 months, lmao

kicker comp CVR i think they shallow and they come in the box. Fits perfect behind the seats. I had a Kicker amp under the seat with the pionner deck..

I was bumping.

a true 5 channel amp would require 4 channels (left front / right front / left rear / right rear) and 1 monaural input (sub). To sound good, the monaural (sub) circuit would have to sum left and right since the wavelengths involved are larger than the distance between the left and right ears of most everyone. This means the 5th channel input would have to be generated in the head unit, or otherwise synthesized in the amp, making it not a true 5 channel amp.

mcmedley · 09-10-2009, 08:36 PM

I am getting an alpine 900 watt amp with two 10 inch shallow kicker sub with the kicker door speakes the kenwood dash speakers and the pioneer deck. Heck yeah!

mcmedley · 09-10-2009, 08:39 PM

the subs have the custom box with the subs in it.

mcmedley · 09-10-2009, 08:40 PM

I am about 6 foot 3 so it will be a tight fit! lol

BigBluePile · 09-10-2009, 08:42 PM
