[QUOTE="Screwthat, post: 8260507, member: 660980"] Okay so today I was digging around behind the rear seats and in the rear corners of the cab I found what seems to be 6x8 speaker openings. Would I benefit from utilizing these with a set of 6x9's for some mid bass thump, especially for times when I have the subs turned wayyy down or even off? And for those who want to know, the plan is to make a custom sub box for behind the rear seats. I plan to sound deaden the entire rear cab wall. Then cut a piece of mdf that is 53.5" long by 12.5" tall. This then gives me a piece that fits behind the hump in the floor of the cab. I will then build two separate boxes off this piece of mdf on each side of the cab. It will be trapezoidal in shape. The bottom piece will be 8.5" by 16.75". One will be shaped accordingly to comply with the hump and the other to match for air space reasons. The top piece will be 4.5" wide by 16.75" long and the piece that goes against the seat, thus completing the trapezoidal box, will be in the neighborhood of 14" wide by 16.75" long. The remaining section of the back plate will be used as the amp deck. These numbers are not compensating for the inner dimensions. I will be using 3/4 inch mdf. Another quick question, which orientation would sound better? Firing into the seat back or firing into the cab wall. [/QUOTE]
