JDm,

It depends on how involved you want to get, but yes you can. I had a 94 Ranger standard cab and put 4 Orion NT 10's in a tool box in the bed. You should have seen the look on my wife's face when she saw me cutting a big hole from the bed to the cab in our 1 year old truck! Anyway, I used a diamond plate tool box that sat all the way down in the bed (not the ones that sit on the bed rails, they're not deep enough.) I actually built a 3/4" mdf and fiberglass box inside the tool box. I cut a square hole in the tool box and from the bed to the cab that was approximately 6" tall by 24" long. Then I used acordian booting (like you use on your canopy when you take the window front window out) to go from the lip on the tool box to the lip on the cab. Then when I built the box inside the tool box, I built a "port" to come through the hole into the cab. After I re-carpeted the modified the back wall, It looked killer. Along with coating the box with fiberglass, I also took it to my local Line-x shop and had them spray lining on it to make it weather proof before I put it in the tool box. When it was done, you couldn't even tell there was a speaker box in the truck and I never had a problem with being ripped off. Oh yeah, it rattled your fillings!
