    I want one of these, or two! I need to see my 2 10s first.

    They are suppose to be deeper than a 12 and need less air space! I am purity sure my amp I have on my 10s will work just fine with the 13.5.

    Anybody know anything about these?

    I've hear good things. You just have to get creative mounting them. They need more airspace than the 12s (I'm pretty sure) and our back seats just don't have a lot of room to work with.

    Thats the cool thing about the 13TW5, It is 13.5" around and 2.5" deep. It takes less air space than a 12, but hits like a 15!

    If I just install 1 it will cost me 250 for the box, 450 for the sub, so 700 with the amp I have. if I go with 2 a box and a new JL HD 750 amp at would be 1700, so for now I think I am going to stick with the one and a box.

    I've heard only good things bout them. And I would just go with one since you can use the amp you got. I want to hear it when you get it in. Thinkin bout upgrading audio on mine too.

    They are 400 rms and 600 peak I think so the amp I have will be putting out about 560 so it will be just fine I think, I may do a slow upgrade to 2. start with just one and a box, then get the JL HD 750, then a new box and a second 13.5. Full price for 2 subs, a box, and the amp installed is 1825.00. Cant do that right now, not all at once.

    Dang...thats a lot of dough. You'd have to dynamat your interior and make sure all your bolts are tight too. 2 15s is a lot of boom

    I already have dynamat in all 4 doors, may need more if I upgrade. Like I said I think I am only going to do one. I can get a box online built specifically for the 13TW5 and my truck for 150 shipped, then 450 for the sub, it will cost me around 600 to upgrade to just one 13TW5

    That should still rattle you pretty good. I was planning on 2 10s eventually, but may change my mind if you like the 13
