I had the 6 seat set up in my truck. And I put the JL stealth box in mine and it sounds great. I also added an alumipro m16 to the package for when im really looking to rattle things loose.
Subwoofer help!

There are other subs that will sound better than jl for much less. Look at sundown or resonant engineering. I use to compete in DB drag events. I hit 148.8db in a silverado with a blowthrough with 4 12" jl w6v2's. Windows up truck off and tuned for music not for a burp. You could do one decent sundown 10 ported and tuned to say 32hz and sound amazing and hit pretty dang hard. I have 2 re subs under my seats. Its decent but sealed boxes lack the lows I like. I'm just too lazy to rebuild the box to fix it. Plus I'm more worried about going fast right now. Lol. Don't cheap out on the amp either and be sure to match ohm loads to the power. Sundown has beast amps too. Jl amps are very clean too. Just way overpriced. What's nice about jl is that they have the same rms output from 1.5 ohms up to 4ohms. Makes it easier to just pick a sub and run it. The slash series are very clean power. You have my number if you have any questions or need a review.
I second RE audio, but back when I was into car audio I don't think they had much that would fit in our trucks. I went with ID (image dynamics) subs. They have good clean sound, and will take some power. Mine took

that box is almost identical to the one I came up with...I still haven't made one yet, but now that I've got everything else pretty dialed in the stereo and in cab entertainment is next
I do remember there being a little hump in the back wall of the cab or something like that???
at any rate, (4) 10's in that box would POUND!
middle of the road kicker's, Fosgate, JL audio, Focal, or ID would be a good choice for the amount of air space in our cabs they need to move
here's a link to someone's interpretation of the 5 "best" 10" subs

just remember we've only got about 7 1/4" mounting depth from the back of the frame of the woofer to the end of the magnet..

I have a 2006 gmc that came with Bose should there be a sub under my console?
what size speakers are people using for factory replacement? I thought I read somewhere where you could use bigger sized speakers in factory locations?
Yes, I really never noticed the sub until I added a aftermarket radio wired up to use the bose system and it really shined then.
I can't tell of anything coming from the console it sounds like the door speakers do most of the work. It could be the idiot that wired up my radio didn't get it hooked up.
Looks like I have some digging to do.

I went with 6.5. If your a rich guy get focal k2p and power them with a nice clean amp. I had a set of those in a mild build. They actually had a good amount of bump to compliment the eclipse ti 12"s.
Fyi the op went with 2 10" sundown sa -10's and a single sae -600. If he isn't happy with the single amp putting out 900+ rms at a half ohm then he will get a second and put out 800 each amp at 1ohm. Hopefully the dealer ordered him dual 2 ohm so he can get where he needs to be for the power. He ordered a prefab box too. Not sure which one but odds are it is sealed.

Getting 4 ohm subs isn't necessarily a bad thing. The dual voice coil subs will allow you to get down to a single 1 ohm load which is perfect for your amp. Wire each speaker voice coil in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative). This gives each speaker a 2 ohm load. Then wire the two speakers in parallel. This will give you the final 1 ohm load and each voice coil will get 150 watts of power.
Is the box you are building/getting have enough mounting depth for these speakers? The spec on Sundown's website shows the depth to be 6" which is pretty deep for a behind the seat box. If it has the mounting depth you're golden. If not you could build one that goes under the back seat.

I ordered an enclosure from them designed to fit crew cab gm's, hopefully everything fits, I know it's going to be tight.
I have a 6.5 JL w3 in my racetruck where the factory sub goes. It's stupid loud. It puts my wife's (2) 10 w1s to shame she had in the CC.
