I tried to find something premade for the same spot in my 04 scab, but had no luck. So I built a sealed enclosure for 2 10" P2's (which I'm currently revamping to go ported).

For the sealed or ported? The sealed was very basic, but worked great. It was 13.5 x 13.5 x 26.25, using 3/4" mdf. I actually had the subs firing from the front and back of the box as opposed to firing up to keep somewhat of a console. The problem was that they were more accessible than I liked(mainly to feet in the back seat!), so I'm going to go a whole lot more custom, with the subs enclosed in a full console. I don't have a full layout for the ported yet, as I've been putting it off for a while doing other things, but will be more than willing to share when it is done.

i wanted it ported for the more deep sound the four tens really hit clear and strong but i need to go a lil deeper too and i hear that the ported box will do that

I think he's talking about ported for the console not under the seat, which by the way, I wouldn't mind seeing pics of that myself. I did a few preliminary measures and cuts today for the new box (finally). For your truck, the demensions are solely going to be dictated by what subs you decide to use. Ex.: The p210 ported requires (recommended per manufacturer) 1.25 cuft per sub. This made it difficult for me to put them between the seats without being seen. It is going to work though. If you went with 12's like you had said, saying you used p212's, you'de probably want to go sealed, because the ported setup would basically put a small retaining wall in the middle of your truck, as they are "optimal" at 1.75 cuft. The sealed only requires .85. These numbers can be changed, but the sound characteristics will change equally.
