I don't have any pics at the moment, but I have a Phoenix Gold ZX500 under the passenger seat, and two PG ZX350's mounted on the amp rack on my custom box. I'll try to get some pics.

Not alot of room anywhere in these trucks

I would encourage you to have a custom box built. I had two amps kinda stuck under my pass seat and they got beat to hell, and look like crap too.

The new box i just gone with has the amps in the middle and slightly above. I too will take some pictures as its hilarous to see this HUGE box for 4 10s fit in there with no seat movement loss.

Check out my signature for a link to some pictures. A setup like this will allow for the seats to move all the way back. I'm 6'6", so i needed all the room I could get as well. Later.

I too have the MTX Thunderform box with (2) 10" Treo's in it.
I had to mount the amp under the passenger seat and relocate the cd changer (stock cd changer) to under the driver seat as the MTX box requires your removing the old useless storage box.
When you mount the MTX Box, you will find that it is too long to leave the cd changer in its original place...now that it is all done, I think I will go with a diferent head unit and passive EQ anyway.
I would actually prefer a single disk that I don't have to always pull over to change cd's like I do now with the changer.

I've got a Thunderform, as well as two amps. One amp is mounted under each seat. I've also relocated my changer to attach below the passenger seat in the middle section.

Since we're showing system, here's mine MDF/fiberglass box featuring two Kicker 12L7's and a Kicker ZR240 amp and a Kicker DX700 mono amp. Box is still in primer and will be painted black clearcoat to match the L.

'00BlackLightning,

Who built your box? I didn't think any of the shops in Corpus did such good work. It looks great.

The box was built and designed by me using MDF as a base and totally covering with fiberglass for a smooth finish. I was thinking about doing another box that would be molded into the rear of the cab and making it more "freeform".
