Not form the fords I have seen.

i havent been in the new bodystyle fords yet, but in the chevys and older body fords, there is no room at all under the seat. that is why i actually bought an ext cab over a crew.

Just curious...what do you have? An F-150?

new body style fords have a ton of room behind the back seat and under the back seat.

New body chevy's, however, do not. There is a bunch of bars and crap in the way. There is some decent room behind the back seat though.

personally, i have had a 2002 F-150 supercrew and a 2005 Silverado ext cab. i have friends with every other truck/cab combo out there though.

The 2006 F-150s I was in yesterday (supercrew and supercab) both had their back seats attached to the back wall.

One side of the seat had a jack bag under it and the other side, the 60% side, had some large plastic guitar case looking thing under it. Seemed to be mounted to the seat frame or cabin floor.

I cannot see how you could get adequate spacing for a sub enclosure under either seat. Unless you removed the jack AND had some sub with a extreme low need for vertical space (mounting depth + pole piece venting).

Supercab has more room... so if you arent removeing the seat and you arent making a wall Supercab would be the better option.

Just so we are clear - a superCREW is the one with 4 fullsize doors. A superCAB is one with 2 normal doors and two smaller ******* style doors. They appear to have the same seats, at least in the newer Ford f-150s.

The superCREW has more space.

i also like the idea of excab more then the 4 door full cab.

like said before it may be a bit less room but harder to steel and still plenty of room for lots of boom.

i have a 99 f150 ex cab. i have a 10 cube box with two 15" subs. it is all under the window and behind the pillars. due to the subs however I would have to run in the super street NW class. it most cases however there are not many daily drivers running around my area that get even close to as loud. I had no problem getting loud in this truck. big subs huge box and a few K in power lot of deadening and poof i had a loud truck.

also like said prior my back wall moves ALOT i mean i bet it bows out an inch or more. i had to weld in an extra sheet of metal and used alot of edead to get it under control. the back window still has a ton of flex but the only way to stop that is to use a custom thicker window. also if you have a choice go with the solid back window not the slider. the flex of the window makes my slider fall out of its tracks.
