I've never played with that truck, but it depends on what you want.

I've heard downfiring in trucks before, I've heard forward and upfiring as well. Downfiring shakes shit a lot more inside of the cab, or at least it seemed that way to me. If you're looking to feel it, more or less, I'd say downfiring with port side or forward firing. If you want it to carry and all of that fun shit, upward.

My main reason for downfiring is for the fact that you do feel it so much

Anyone else with suggestions on set-up, layout, or box type for this sub?

I did a RE 12" XXX behind my drivers seat by removing third rear seat, IA 20.1, Crystal CCSC S6 in the front doors in fiberglass enclosures under the door panels, CDT shallow mounts in MDF rings in the rear. US Amp MD.42 powering the door speakers. Yellow top up front. In an 05' Frontier it wanged pretty **** good. Could easy return it to stock because I already did and I am trying to sell it.

That was my last combo, anything under the seats firiring down sucks, I tried everything, ever box, speaker, amp combo that I would try. Finally gave up and went to the above solution.

downfiring is the best i can get from my extended cab S10. faced them every which way in numerous designs, and downfiring was best. by ear and meter. a single type R 12 downfired hit 138.xx at the dash on a TL. on music, in a box tuned to 35hz. not too bad in a smaller cabin. firing port forward and sub up was second. i vote for downfiring. i'm planning a false floor for my s10 now with 4 downfired 8's. won't be able to see any subs, amps or wiring.
