I have an 8" sub behind my seat in a box that was fitted for the truck. Works great with nice tight bass for country music

I just installed a complete system in my regular cab. I have a 600w 10" shallow mount Memphis Audio sub in a thin box. I'm about average height so my seat is not all the way back. With the seat in a comfortable position the box has room. I don't listen to Rap either but I learned that bass is important. I put in an Alpine 103BT, I wanted the bluetooth for the cell phone. I used Alpine S series component speakers in the doors. At first It sounded good but I realized I was only hearing highs and mid-range. I wasn't hearing any drums or bass guitars. I put the subwoofer in and wow the whole thing came to life. For about $700 I have probably the best sound system I have ever owned.

To me my stock Ford AM/FM cassette, with stock Ford Premium speakers, and stock speaker baffels, gives out just the right bass and loudness for me. It will vibrate the mirrors etc...
Now if you want cab rattling bass, forget that idea.

You make an excellent point. It's all about personal taste. Mine is a daily drive and I will spend 2+ hours a day driving in traffic. So I wanted quality sound over quantity. The owner of the audio shop gave me a great price on the sub, amp, and box so I took it knowing I would never crank it full. So it really does depend on your personal taste.
