[QUOTE="91Chevy, post: 5142212, member: 603461"] Alright, so I recently bought myself a truck (1991 Chevy S10) and I want to start thinking about a sound system for it. I don't really know what you need to know, so I'm just kind of posting everything I think might be useful. First off, I listen to metal, so I need everything to be able to keep up with the speed of it. Sound quality is quite important to me, as I don't want to JUST hear the bass, and I want to enjoy listening to it, but being loud is also fairly important (what's the point of having one if you can't piss people off?). I was thinking a pair of 10" subs would be perfect for this, housed in probably a sealed box. Then have a component set in each door, and possibly some more tweeters/mids somewhere else if necessary? On to the questions. [B]The Sub Box[/B] Planning on building this with the help of my friend, who is very talented when it comes to woodwork. I know to make it out of 3/4" MDF. But when it comes to designing this box, I get a little stuck. In the back I have a MAXIMUM width of 42", and 21" from the back of the cab to the back of the seats. I'd like just a 'standard' box I suppose. Just a box with a slanted front face on it. I don't really know how much volume the box needs, so recommended dimensions would be appreciated. [B]The Rest[/B] As for everything else, this is where I get even more confused. I have been recommended 2 amps (sub and speaker) and unless anybody has any major objections, I think I'm going with them.
