Questions from newbie

whats up guys? i admittedly don't know a whole lot about car audio and i have a few questions. i have a nissan titan and am looking to get a system installed. i have a guy who is going to build me a custom box for a fair price but i need to know what kind of subs and amp i should get. i wanna get 2 10's and i dont wanna spend much more than $500. any advice would be much appreciated. thanks

first question I am going to ask is how much mounting depth do you have to work with in that box and what is the internal air volume.. and is it sealed or ported. Then I can try to give you a sub amp combo in your price range.

[DaveDSMer]

or what.. looks like you are going to build the box to the subs.. heh yeah didnt read it all the way. Anyways, still how much mounting depth do you have to work with? behind the seats or under the seats or something?

well im not sure exactly what the depth is and all that cuz its either going to be a custom box for the subs or one of three different boxes that ive found online. ill post those dimensions below. thanks for the help guys.

The first one is from SuperCrewSound and it says airspace is .75 cubic feet per sub with a mounting depth of 5 5/8".

The second one gives me the following dimensions:
Mounting Depth - 5 3/4"
Width: 51 1/8"
Height: 9 5/8"
Top Depth: 13 1/2"
Box Depth: 13 3/4"

The third one has:
mounting depth: 5.25"
air space: .85 ea

Also, this is a set up i might be looking at. If you guys could look at it and tell me if it would be a good deal and what amp i would need to run it that would be great also.

what the hell.. i just tried to reply but it didnt work the first time... ill try to remember what i posted lol.

anyways, im not positive about dimensions b/c its either going to be built custom for the subs or im going to get one of any of three other boxes i found online. ill post the info on them below for you.

the first one is listed as:
mounting depth: 5.25"
air space: .85 ea

the second one says:
Air Space = .75 cubic feet per sub
Mounting depth = 5 5/8"

the third one lists:
Mounting Depth - 5 3/4"
Width: 51 1/8"
Height: 9 5/8"
Top Depth: 13 1/2"
Box Depth: 13 3/4"

also, i found this deal online that i might go with. if one of you guys could check it out and tell me if its a good deal, and if so what amp i would need to run it. thanks a lot guys
