Message:
I hadn't seen any posts on the 8000's fitting in the Thunderform, so I thought I'd give it a try and they definitely do NOT fit...so I was wondering how I can know what subs will fit in the Thunderform. Anything would help!...Thanks in advance

I'm curious too. I'm thinking about selling my current setup and going with something a little more stealthy, but want a good quality sub.

Well so far the best sub that fits in a Thunderform is the Image Dynamics IDQ10 but you have to make sure it version 1(V.1) because the new ones don't fit. So Ebay is your best bet.

I recently put in two Image Dynamic IDQ 10's (v1) and they sound very clean in the thunderform, great sound quality for what I'm looking for.

If you are handy with a screwgun and a saw you might want tu build your own box. You can fit a deeper mount sub that the thunderform. I got plans off this site and have it posted on my site. This road was good for me. I still have my functional back seat for my 2yo son (with car seat).

Hey Jay,

Your box came out pretty good!! Those dimensions came from my web site, as I'm the original builder. It's cheap to build and provides excellent BASS!!

Also Kicker comps and vrs will fit , Havve to trim a hair to get the vrs in but not bad at all ( buddy did this one) He only had to trim the inside edge a c hair ! Wil post as I try all I can , I have a buddy at a local shop and I am going to try all I can tommorw and let us ALL KNOW WHAT FITS once and for all ! !

I have a pair of kicker compvr's in mine, the magnet is about 1/8' too deep so I just cut a rubber ring (maybe rubber, maybe not.. I got it at home depot in a roll and it was cheap).. the compvr's require .8ft of space so the tform is perfect for them. I'm installing my system this weekend, I have another thread started asking about removing my carpet and such.. anyhow I'll let you know how they sound. I heard from here they rock so I assume they will be bada$$

Ok maybe this should end up what doesnt fit !! I went to my buddys store today and tried a bunch ! 10W3 almost but about 1/2" to deep , RF HE's Would fit with a couple seals and the rbber taking off the magnet and suround , IDQ10 dvc "V2" Does fit perfect . Didnt have a older 10w6 to try which is what I really wanted to see if it would fit ! Will try more tommorow

Joe, the IDQ10's V.2 really do fit with no mods?

About a year ago several people on this board said without a doubt the V.2 do NOT fit.

Let us know what other subs fit because there is nothing worse then buying something you can't use.

Thanks

Trust me they fit perfect !No mods , One gasket that comes with the Thunderform , They are very close depth wise but they fit , They screw down no problem , The only thing I would do is use 2 gaskets so the vent has a little clearance in the pole piece so they can breath and cool the voice coil , No cutting no nothing , Drop and play ! I actually bought 2 JLWO's today and had to use some foam to bring them up a hair , But my god they really hit for entry level and sound very good in it , I found some round 1/2 solid foam weahterstrip at lowes that brings the sub up just enough to fit , The wo's are a bit to deep but with 2 gaskets they are fine !! Thats all im trying for now , Starting to piss my friends boss off opening all the new subs HEHE I will find a old style W6 sooner or later , Thats the one I want to see that fits or not !!

The JL wo is 5.375 Deep , The IDq10v2 is 5.25 deep , Anyway 5.25 is max depth that could be used with somewhat of a normal size magnet , None of the Cast aluminum frame subs I found fit except the Vega Series and Vega IT Subs , They fit in the hole and fit width but dont sit all the way in the actuall inset ring for the sub mount , A little weatherstrip and they would be fine just to seal it , No cutting with these either
