Dont know the correct term of my cab [Crew cab?] But its got the rear ******* doors, with a rear 60/40 split bench.

Not really concerned with "SPL", Just want a loud truck that sounds great. I also need "Compartments" to keep tool's, Tie down's, Tow strap's, Ect in.

Im stripping all my other car's of thier equipment, And selling them, So ive got a list of gear.

Dual indash is already in it, So it'll be the source.

In my possession i have:

(1) 15" RE SE D4

(2) 8" XTR3 PRO S4 (Circa 90s)

Orion 1200D

Kicker zx750.1

an old school optimus 4ch

a Image Dynamics CTX65CS componet set [Need to warranty 1 mid.]

And a set of Image Dynamics OEM 6.5's

Ive come up with quiet a few theory's.

A). 8's, or 15" Down firing / Ported rear Front console. Dont think i will be able to get the vol i need for the 15, Plus i dont wanna start cutting the seats up. Amp's built in to console or under seats in a rack / tool bin.

B). "Center console" on rear bench, But i cant decide on sub, or port placment, Nor subs id use. I believe this is one option to give my 15" the space it needs. It wouldnt be too stealth tho. Same amp placment as above.

C).I have 11.5x5.5 [with room for excursion]x like 23" under the "60", and 11.5 x 6 x like 14" under the "40".

Was thinking i could put the 8's in a SEALED enclosure under the "60", And my sub amp under the "40" [Possibly with a shallow tool bin?]

D). Remove the "40", build a box to the window line, With an arm rest on one side, And i could use the 15 Sealed [Possibly ported?], or the 8's ported. with unknown sub / port placment. Amp's would then be built into a rack / storage bin under the remainder of seat.

I could always mount amp's under the front seats, Just dont like the idea of winter snow / amp's close to wet shoes.

Just to give you guys an idea of what im working with, I stole a pic online of what my rear area look's. You can also see the center console.

Also, Rear fill or no?

CTX65CS, or ID OEM's + some tweets and crossovers? I really wanna add EQ's into the mix of this system. Thinking 2 31 band's, But also want a 7 band parametic so i dont get lost in the knobs as im a noob.

I also got an Alpine Erg-320 i believe , And an older alpine with T/A, Ect I could use. However i dont have the faceplate to the EQ. Anyone know if i can use the "EQ brain" directly to the HU? Theres a switch on the bottom of the deck, But i know nothing about old school Alpine.

Forgot to add i got a ton of 5/8" partical board. Will this work for a sub box for the 8's, if i use a pinner and clamp's instead of screw's?
