Hey everyone, I need some help finding a good 10" sub that I can put in a truck box for my trunk. What brands do you recommend and where should I buy them from? Thanks.

good luck. Truck boxes have a very small volume, and very shallow mounting depth. That's a bad combination because the overwhelming majority of the small-box subs out there are very, very deep.

I'd really think about how bad you need to use that truck box. If you're putting it into the trunk, you've got better options.

Just another FYI: Forget about subs that have a vented pole piece. If you have a sub with a vented pole piece in a box that puts the back of the magnet right near the wall of the box, the sub will exhibit some strange characteristics and will usually "whistle".
