[QUOTE="ds0110, post: 7540043, member: 607866"] Before deciding on a sub, im trying to figure out how much space I can get in an enclosure in this truck. Im thinking one 10 or 12. How much sub depends on this box. Something in the range of re se, memphis mojo or old xxx... So far, ive seen or thought of 4 methods: The first, is with a box behind the seats. Most common setup. That seems to be too small for what I want considering I might have to fit an amp back there if there isnt enough room under both seats. The only way I can see this is if the sub were behind the passenger, and the rest of the space behind the driver also goes to the enclosure. Sort of asymmetrical, seems like that design wouldnt sound good. Second way, is a box made where the legroom of the center console/seat is.
