I just purchased a 2007 F150 Supercrew cab, and want to get the most bass in there I can with out doing a blow through (which is retarded) or losing my back seat to a sub box (also retarded). I already own two Kicker 12" CVX's from my last car and want to move them into my F150, how ever all the customer boxes for under the back seat are about .66 cubic feet per sub. According to kickers website they need at least 1.0 cubic feet for a sealed box. Now I know running your subs in a smaller box usually "chokes" them and greatly reduces their lifespan or even kills them but my question is how much space does a CVX really need? Kicker by far needs the most air space out of any other sub manufacturer that I have seen, so maybe they are exaggerating on the space needed. What are your thoughts and opinions? Think I could get away with it or would I just blow my subs. Right now they're being pushed by a 1000watt Kicker IX amp. But I don't abuse my subs like mot people do. I'm also considering going with 10" CVX's instead since they only require .8 cubic feet, much closer to the .66 of the box, but want opinions before I down grade my subs.
