[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8867874, member: 689267"] Always check at the hardware store, they likely carry or may have a half sheet available, always good to ask. As for four 10's, or upgraded 12s or 15's. Four 10s give you aprx 314 sq inches of cone area, two 12s, 226 sq in and two 15s give you 353 sq inches, roughly. A similar ported box for four of those shallow mount 10s would need about a 4.75 cubic foot box, sealed 3.08 (stuffed with 3 lbs of acusta-stuff or long fiber wool) and that box would work, sealed for four 10's. 15s are going to be impractical in that truck.
