A full cut-through won't affect the sound appreciably. It will just give you more room to work with. I had a cut-through in a reg cab Ranger a few years ago with 6 10W6 JLs. It was loud and sounded good. If you don't mind cutting sheetmetal, I say go for it.

I did a cut-cab install on my regualr cab truck, and its the best thing that you can do with a single cab truck. Also the great advantage of having a cut through is that you can build the "perfect box", built to the ideal dimensions. Just go down to a local R.V. Store and purchase some "accordian" boot, its only like 5 bucks a foot, and cut a hole in the back of the cab, the same size as the boot, and cut the same size hole in the front of the bed. Use the "boot" to connect the bed to the cab, and seal it up with some silacone, make sure that its sealed very well. I would advise to have it professionally installed.
