I have a 2008 Ford Ranger XLT extended cab. I am a sound engineer by trade, but I’ve never had experience with car audio. What I want to know, is what subwoofer would be the best for my truck without taking up an enormous amount of space. I like to keep my two fold out seets in the back operable, but I also want a little more out of my system.

Conditions:
1) I want to keep my stock stereo (instrument panel)
2) I only want one woofer, my being a sound engineer kind of bites me in the tail, because I always have to have things sounding PERFECT, and my version of perfect is with a bit extra kick to it , so I’m saying I don’t want you to hear me coming down the street from a mile away, but I do want to add bass performance to my system
3) I’m on a tight budget

Installation ideas are helpful too. Thanks!!!

BS, if u only want some bump u need one 10 inch sub @ 300 watts with a matching amp. can be bought on ebay for under 200. (even a walamrt sub provides some bump) but obviosly you do get what u pay for. but if u only want some better SQ anything will add bass but i would recommend the infinity kappa perfect as they are a free air sub and dont require a box and therefore you can mount it anywhere it will fit and if you then enclose it it will sound even btr. you could even get an 8′ and put it in a bass cannon. i heard a JL 8′ in a cannon on a legacy amp in a small s10 and was very loud…..like u could hear it for 3 blocks

   Tight budget and subwoofer do not mix. You’ll need to spend about $400.00 for powered sub, if not more.
