[QUOTE="Jtyson, post: 8577017, member: 664314"] I've got a diesel truck so I'm already running two batteries. Single alternator though. I could probably upgrade batteries and add a second alternator if I needed to, but I'd like to keep things cheap if I do go that route. I need to do some reading on these particular subs I guess before I decide what to do. My idea of a center console box was simply to preserve my usable space. I know under the rear seat would probably be my best bet though. I'll have to do some measuring and see what sort of cubic footage I can get out of either area with a reasonable amount of work that leaves my space as functional as it is now. One question for you guys based on the suggestion...why the port facing the driver's seat? In such a small cab, does that really make much of a difference? Also, to point them up, I'd probably have to lift my seat, or build a custom rear seat setup as I believe floor to seat clearance is only about 6" now. Think the sub with excursion is probably closer to 9-10" plus mounting and such would mean I'd need to double my clearance. Yeah I knew one way or the other I'd be unloading the capacitor as they are pretty worthless. I didn't take any great pictures of the box, but this is what I have on my phone right now. Basically you see 3 in front here, then there are two on the back, with a PVC bell adapter used as a port. The box is symmetrical front to back with the speakers leaning like you see. Speaker wire goes in through the port, box isn't supported on the inside and is only 5/8" board, not sure of cubic area, odd shape, etc. They did go to the extent to seal all the screw holes and seams though.
