New Setup Idea GOOD or OVERKILL?

Well that depends on port area.
With your space, I would say 2 12s would be your best bet for SPL. You have about 4.3 cubic feet of airspace total and if you take away about 1 cubic feet for a port, that leaves about 3.3 for subs. I wouldn't try to cram 4 12s or even 10s in an enclosure that small.

2 12's then ok well what should the depth of my port be?

the box size is befor the port size

If no one is nice enough to give you free plans, send 'saywhat?' or 'pvaudio' a PM; both do great designs and are excellent guys to deal with. (it will cost you a few dollars though)

Just so you know most hifonics amps don't put out their rated power, I have no idea what they really put out but take this into consideration as well.

You do not know everything else... What do you want the box tuned to? I bet you cant answer that question without asking me another:

Get a box designer.

I swear is everyone in this thread mathematically retarded? 6" Top Depth, 9" Bottom Depth, 15" Height, 55" Width. Subtracting for the internal dimensions gives you:

4.5" Top Depth, 7.5" Bottom Depth, 13.5" Height, 53.5" Width.

(4.5+7.5)/2 * 13.5 * 53.5 = 4333.5 cubic inches

4333.5/1728 = 2.507 cubic feet.

Thus, those dimensions you gave give you approx. 2.5 cubes before any sort of displacement.

If I were you, I'd run 6 8" Ascendant Audio Assassins in a sealed box of the dimensions you gave that are available. That'll be louder than anything mentioned in this thread.

Or, 3 10" Arsenals from Ascendant Audio sealed would be nice. From my experience (I own a 2000 Reg Cab Silverado and have experimented with **** near every combination for a subs/amps/boxes you could imagine) Cone area and a sealed box produces the best results for this vehicle.

If you want more help, pm me and we can chat on AIM or something.

edit: Hell, for a couple dollars, I'll design you a pretty badass box for your regular cab

Thats great an all, but we'r asking what he wants it tuned to.

maldecido33 convinced me to go with 6 aa assassin 8's in a sealed box but im thinking it would soung x1000 better in a ported box tuned to like mid 30 hz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif
