i work in a stereo shop man and out of those two options i'd recommend kickers 10" or 12" CVT sub. those speakers are 400 watts rms/800 watts max and they are made for very small enclosures. they were actually designed for single cab and extended cab truck boxes b/c of the limited airspace. IMO i think it would sound great in there.

There is not a single mainstream subwoofer brand that I would call very good. Some are pretty good. Probably the closest are JL Audio and JBL (for the WGTi series). But neither one produces a very low distortion subwoofer with good output - including the JL W7. They're both overhung with very parabolic BL curves that create more distortion than something with LMS or XBL^2 or similar technology.
Not trying to sound like an ***... but there's a whole world of car audio equipment that you're totally unfamiliar with out there.

Of course you would. Because they are a big brand that a stereo shop can sell to customers. Their amps are good but not worth the money, and their subwoofers are 'ehhhhhh' at BEST. I can name subwoofers that can outperform Kicker in both sound quality (quantification: lower distortion) AND output capability. TC Sounds LMS anything (e.g. LMS 5400, LMS Ultra, LMS-R), Exodus Audio Shiva-X2, Tempest-X2, Creative Sound Solutions SDX15, etc.

You should be a little more considerate when responding to a post. I'm not trying to sell this guy anything just offer my opinion as a stereo shop worker who's sold and installed systems for over 10 years. I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means. I'm not that pompous to be honest. But I'm not totally ignorant either. There's no need to be so vehement in a simple thread. Just tell the guy your opinion about what he asks and go on.
