[QUOTE="Water Bear, post: 8866329, member: 673826"] Buddy of mine somehow managed to get small MDF boxes set into the rear doors on his previous truck, think it was an F-150. I can't remember clearly but I think he put some kind of small Skar woofer into them. He probably still has pics that I can get if you're curious. I've seen that SMD video before and it helped convince me that's the way to go. Planning to squeeze 8s under the bench in my next truck. You don't have to go with Gately and B2 to do it. Other companies make prefabs and you can find individuals on this forum or on eBay who can make custom boxes like that for you. I've heard an X 15 in a small cab truck on something like 1-3k before, and that **** was deafeningly loud. The amount of sub that you need to achieve a given SPL depends on the size of the cab it's going into. My memory is not terribly reliable, and I was less experienced with loud systems back then, but I'd swear that one X 15 in that tiny cab was louder than the 2 Nightshade 12s on 5k+ that I've got in my Tahoe right now. Keep this in mind: The X 15 was in a box that took up the entirety of the guy's back bench in his truck. You need a lot of box volume for any Sundown "new platform" (ie high excursion) woofer.
