You do not put subs in the bed unless you plan on doing a blow through design. From the sound of things you do not sound like the type that would possess the knowledge to do so. Just put a sub behind the seat and call it a day

your also asking to get your **** stolen. if i say subs laying in the bed of a truck, i would take them for the hell of it because you are a dumbass and teach you a lesson. i was just playing with ya so don't get your balls in a vice but the moral of the story is, that should be easy to steal, and plus what you do if it rains unless you got a cap on your truck?

Hey, please don't think I'm an idiot or whatever for asking this, but would it work if you put a camper top over your bed and replaced your stock rear window with one of those that you can slide open, and then just leave it open?

terrible idea unless your planning on doin a blow through......and like some mentioned before that would make them VERY easy to steal.....if i was walkin around and saw 2 re SX's in the back of a truck i would be VERY tempted....just my $0.02

I have a cut cab on my truck with 2 15s and theres no way in hell that someone could steal it, it weighs about 300 lbs at least, the box is rhino linered and bolted to the frame of my truck, plus my truck is **** tall too.

thats why u get a bed cover and locked it....its just like putting a system in the trunk of a car, just this trunk is alot bigger, and btw i got a reg cab dakota and i removed the center console and put my 12 between the seats so i can see that beautiful thing move //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif and its a 2.5cf sealed box and im only like 5' 8 so i sacrificed a good bit of leg room, but the main reason was to allow for mounting depth

The same goes with your trunk, it's no less safe.

Yes you will have to do a blow though, if you just do it it will sound like someone behind you with the system going. Also as everyone else has said you will get your stuff stolen or it will get rained on and ruined. Here are some pics of my old set up. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=3292401&uid=1612587
