[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8628296, member: 674149"] Those speaker boxes are for a crew cab, You said you had an extended cab. Those crewcab boxes, I don't think will fit in your truck. Those boxes are designed to sit behind the seat. The ext cab box fits under the rear seat. [URL="http://www.foxacoustics.com/searchresults.asp?cat=61"]EXTRA CAB[/URL] The under seat boxes have more room for mounting and air space. You say you listen to blues and bluegrass, get a sealed box. Less boomy, more responsive tight hitting bass that's there to accentuate the music and not steal the show. (vented boxes are for loud boomy bass that's trying to make other people feel your music). [URL="http://www.foxacoustics.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=GM%2DXC%2D212%2DS%2D99"]1999-2006 GM CLASIC EXT CAB 2-12" SEALED[/URL]. If you are set on this brand, but that's a little high, IMO without seeing the quality of the prefab box. Adding rear speakers you really are going to want. I quickly found KICKER 43DSC404 (4") & 43DSC4604 (4" x 6") [URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206CSC44/Kicker-43CSC44.html?tp=105&avf=Y"]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206CSC44/Kicker-43CSC44.html?tp=105&avf=Y[/URL] [URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206CSC464/Kicker-43CSC464.html?tp=105&avf=Y"]https://www.crutchfield.com/p_206CSC464/Kicker-43CSC464.html?tp=105&avf=Y[/URL] [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Kicker-43DSC4604-2-way-Speaker-Pair/dp/B01BLVS3BE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519608204&sr=8-2&keywords=Kicker+43CSC464"]https://www.amazon.com/Kicker-43DSC4604-2-way-Speaker-Pair/dp/B01BLVS3BE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1519608204&sr=8-2&keywords=Kicker+43CSC464[/URL] would be $50 a pair running 50wRMS so a 4ch amp would be just right to match up with your components.

That box listed is for 12" speakers, and you linked up 10" subs, just FYI. Just so we know where youre at, It would help if you knew what size battery and alternator you currently have. Yours might be good enough for something small as is, but we can give you a better idea, and you really want to know where your end goals might be, so you don't keep upgrading the same part several times to compensate for an increased power. A new 160 amp alt and belt would be about $200 or a little under. [/QUOTE]
