Enclosure help. Ideas needed!!

[screwgreen 10+ year member]

Hey everyone, I have an 2001 F150 supercrew. Currently I just have an underseat sub box with 2 memphis pr10s and a kenwood 7204 wired to 500rms at 4ohms. I plan to do the big 3 soon and run knuconceptz 0gauge throughout the truck. I am looking for ideas at how I can get more thump. I have thought of sa12 with 1200rms or so but the mounting depth is killing this idea unless one of yall has a new idea to make it fit somewhere. I will build the enclosure for anywhere in the backseat area, Underseat, behindseat, etc. I also thought of 2 sa8s with 1200rms or so but im scared that I wont be happy with the spl of the 8's in daily use. anyone got any enclosure ideas for me??

here is my truck

This is the way I ran my subs in my F150 and it sounded great. Slot port was firing twords passenger side door. I ran this box for 2 years and loved it.

And definitely get a seat lift if you want to get bigger subs.

I like down firing subs in a king-cab type truck.

but my seats are alot different from those in the year model of Nut Hair Trick. How much will the seat lift effect the back passengers

I raised mine 5 inches to get 2 tens under seat,and it really didnt make that much difference for the people in back seat,as there was at least 9inches to play with for headroom.Worked fine,and still does,with that sub box in.Take some measurements and look at some subs that should work,8s 10s,12 take alot more room of course firing foward,but down fire any and all.Might even find some bazooka empty tubes that will fit under there,with the sub of choice,as i have done before..Just suggestions to you?? Just remember to disconnect your battery if tack welding brackets for safety/onthe elect system
