Maybe Im totally wrong about that, but thats just my take. I seem to hear quite a few storys about amps over heating under the seats, but none when they are on the back wall......leads me to believe its a much better place

My truck is a 99 ext cab, so its practically identical to yours. I havent had a problem, however getting them to fit back there was a little bit of a problem. I had to cut some bracing off of the back of the seat (you will know what Im talking about when you take the seat back off) And I also had to put some spacers between the seat backs bottom mounting tabs, and back wall of the cab. You can see the spacers in my gallery, I dont believe I have a pic of the trimming on the brace I had to do though.
