Please help me build a system in '01 Ext. Cab
Back when I used to be into systems (late '80s-early '90s), There were really only two companies. Rockford Fosgate and Kicker. I always had Punch speakers, and everybody used particle board and nobody ported anything.
Today, I'm lost. I've decided I want a little system and I don't know where to begin. I used to have 4 15"s in a mustang and then had 8 15"s in an Acura Legend. I want to bang, but I don't need to bang like that anymore. Plus I want it to look factory so I don't **** off the missus.
These are the speakers I am thinking of going with.

They are the flat 12" by pioneer. I figured I would put them in one of those premade boxes that fit under your seat (I've got no building skills). Here's the box I'm thinking of

Will these subs in this enclosure sound good? And if so, What amp should I run with them?
I have a Pioneer headunit.
What should I do about the door speakers? I want loud and clear sound. Should I just replace the one's in the front door and remove the one's in the back (they're blown anyway). Or replace them all? What speakers? What amp?
I want loud for the immature side of me, but I want a simple, tucked, factory looking install for the mature side (and ofcourse, the missus)
Please help me. Thanks

I wouldnt go with pioneer subs personally, but thats my opinion. I am a JL fan. For door speakers I have two that I would highly recommend, Boston acoustics NX series, NX87 in your case (5x7 will bolt right in), Or Alpine type R's (250 W peak power). Also, with THOSE subs I would go with at least a 1000-1500 watt 1 channel amp. Go with JL or Precision power (PPI) for an amp. The others seem to be a bit over-rated.

The only real reason that I'm going with these particular Pioneer 12"s is because they are flat enough to fit in a box under the seat. If you know of another way to get 12"s under the seat, please let me know. I just want to get as much bass as possible. I crave the music.
