I'm not trying to blow my windows out, I just want something that I can listen to. For the price I don't think any of them are bad, but I don't know audio that well. Kenwood: Kicker: Rockford Fosgate: all 12"s and all shallow mounts. I'm only gonna put one behind the seat. So let me hear it.

I prefer kenwood and with the right amp...... all those will sound good...

Redcap · 07-11-2011, 11:20 PM

Kicker or Cerwin Vega for me.

The Pioneer shallow mounts sound pretty good for the price, and I have heard good things about the JL Audio ones and the Alpine type Rs Shallow mounts as well. Any of these or the ones mentioned will sound great in your truck. Post some pics of the install when you do it!

I'll post pics when I do it, but I'm not gonna be home till November, so it's gonna be a little while

Diamond makes a pretty awesome shallow mount 12. I would also look into the newer shallowmounts that JL is coming out with.

Just clarifying once again that I don't know alot about this stuff, mainly so I don't sound like an idiot lol. with that being said, do I need an amp to push 2 6x9's and 2 6.5's?

dukcaln · 07-13-2011, 02:02 AM

amp is not needed, but with a good set of those size speakers an amp will really sound good...... far better than with out....

BIGBERTHA · 07-13-2011, 07:10 PM

If I'm running Rockford Fosgate speakers, I should also run a Rockford amp right?

Run whatever amp you like, as long as it has the right stats for what you want to drive.
