With that kind of room, I'd buy a 15" Kicker L7. 2000 watts in a sealed box. I had one in my old Lumina and it set off car alarms. In a truck cab, it would be VERY loud. Listening to bass CDs, it would hit so low I could feel it more than I could hear it.

Here's a good box building guide for figuring cubic feet of air.

Get me the specs on the subs. Fs, Qts, and Vas and ill give you the dimensions for whatever box tuned to your truck. Oh I also need the max dimensions for H,W,& D. Plus from the base of your windshield to the back window. And the frequency you would prefer the tuning to. This method works amazing for SPL because i can get the resonant frequency of the truck to work with the subwoofers in the truck. Pm me and we can go from there.

well i have about 33inches in length and 18 in width and 18-25 in height from windshield to back window is about 8ft the thing is the box will have to be custom bc the front console well the back of that sits out farther on the top than the bottom so the box would have to be cut to curve with the front cosnole and the back wall sits farther back than the floor.

length-30-33
width-18
height-18-25

i want something that other cars at a stoplight that are 3 cars ahead of me can feel and hear the bass i heard 2 12's polk audio hit and it slammed

these are some of the 12's i am looking in to

Is this a Supercrew ? If it is , why take out your rear console ? You can do something behind the rear seat , like I did .

King
You have two captains seats , I have a 60/40 bench seat . I have seen trucks like yours . We have the same amount of room behind the seats . What you don't realize , there is another 4-5 inches behind the plastic wall with the two doors . (jack storage) .

Did you look at mine ??????? Does it look factory ????? You would have to build your own box . It all depends on how much time and effort you want to put in it , anything is possible . If i were you I would want my truck to look factory (leave rear console in ) . Take a look at my truck .

i like your setup alot thats what i want it looks really nice how loud is it but the thing is idk how much room is behind the panel behind the rear seats i would basically have to either cut it for a custom box to fit in or take it out all together i am young and not experienced in building boxes and doing custom work like that and i dont have more than about 800 bucks to spend on a system

how are the speakers and tweeters in the kick panels are they really loud and worth it i love highs and bass together sounds awesome

also are all the crossovers and extra stuff u had necessary

where did u get a box like that from and where can i get one like that at, also i was wondering if i couldnt only take aout half the panel another words only take 15 inches out can i make a cut on the panel bc i wont need all the room above it to mount amps only one amp i am gonna use

will a hifionics crunch 3000watt amp for my 4 12's audiobahn subs they are 700rms a piece and 4 of them will equal a 1ohm load and the amp pushes 3000@1ohm

do u happen to kno the airspace required for those subs they are the high excursion series

also if i dont need a place to mount my amps like u did can i use the entire back panel for my sub box so they have plenty of airspace
