[QUOTE="Turpy, post: 8704563, member: 656546"] Wow, this has sparked a LOT of info that's mostly over my head, right/wrong and some perhaps irrelevant for my intent & purposes. While I truly appreciate reading and learning from everyone's discussion, I wanted to restate my original question (or at least what I meant). I'm not a car audio "guy" meaning that I would ever consider myself in the same ball park as you folks (which is why I came here and appreciate your advice). I originally purchased the sub (which I "think" should be the main deciding factor for most of these questions/decisions) to fit underneath the rear seat of my old F-150 Crew Cab which did NOT have good speakers, but I never got around to building a box for it. When I recently ran across it still new in the box, I thought "I should either use it or sell it". So that's when I found this forum and asked for what I (mistakenly) thought would be a fairly simple and realistic project. I don't listen to a lot of deep low bass rap so I'm not looking for extremely loud/deep bass, but rather better sounding general contemporary country & classic rock with a little more punch than stock speakers. The Escape is a Titanium package with a Sony stereo, and the F-350 is a Lariat with a somewhat upgraded speaker system which includes either a 6"' or 8" sub in a plastic box mounted to the floor behind the rear passenger seat. I understand what you're saying about trucks can be sound damping and difficult to get great sound at better volume levels, and I don't "have to" make a single solution for both vehicles, again that was my original thought assuming that it would be feasible and worth the money & effort. So, aside from the stock/after-market head units and rca's/LOC's, is a single box even worth it at all for both vehicles, or should I simply focus on one or the other? If so, I drive the Escape most often. [/QUOTE]
