Lack of options, need advise

[Bill Shakes]

I just bought a 2004 Tacoma double cab. Apparently its a nightmare to find GOOD gear to put in this thing as far as stereos go. I'm coming from a 2x12" eclipse 8812s and PPI PC1800 amp that I've had forever and hasn't been powered up in 8 years, been sitting in the closet, lol. There is no way those are going to fit behind the back seat of my truck. Looks like the only real box option is from supercrew sound with a dual 8" set up. The problem I'm having is finding a good sub that will fit in the TINT 4" mounting depth. Price is really per sub would be approx. $400 each and for an 8" that should be able to buy about anything I would think. Ideas, suggestions, etc would be nice, I'm so far removed from car audio stuff these days as most of my time has been on Triumphs since 2006 ;P . I will be running the same PPI PC1800 amp as I can get that to fit. Music is 90% metal hard rock.

I've put a few options up as a poll that I've found that seemed to viable options.

As a side note, speaker options are slim as well, I'm torn between Helix(never heard of them) Esprit E57X front and rear or JL Audio C2-570X for the front and JL Audio TR570-CXi for the rears.

There is space in the front for components but I figure I can get a better speaker quality in a coax than a component set for comparable price.

I have a pair of polk mm840's. Great small sealed sub. I just used them for testing and I was surprised by them. Very shallow sub. They are here collecting dust if interested.

Too bad the sundown sa8 is 5 1/4 mounting depth. Image dynamics makes some nice low wattage coaxial speakers if your not gping to amp them. I dont now the seating arrangement, but are underseat boxes an option?

No, the rear seat sits right on the body work that has the access to the fuel pump, really no option to mount under there at all!

I'd be all over the sundown as it looks I wouldn't over a ping those things with my current amp. So judging from the answers I'm getting in the pole nothing readily easy to find with amazon or general internet search is not the best option lol. I don't know any companies not on the massive radar like I do for home theater. I'm lost in the car end.

Anyone else have some viable options? Unless anyone knows if super crew sound can move the sub holes and I can go to a 10" that would make my life so much easier
