where do they go?

My firend has an 89 chevy pick up standard cab and he keeps buggin me about helpin him get subs. I'm new with this stuff so i decided to bring the question to the car audio experts. how in tha heck do you get subs in a standard cab pick up. He keeps talkin about puttin em in the bed and for some reason to me it doesn't sound like a good idea, (weather, theft, loudness, and quality, etc.). If theres any ideas out there please, pour it on me.

They will get stolen sure as shit! You wont hear them as well as the other people outside will hear them. Nevermind the weather issues! I would get a custom box made and try to stuff it behind your seats, you probably wont get away with a ported but a nicely sealed box with a couple subs should be plenty in a pickup. What kind of music does he listen to?

if you know\have welding expierence, you can cut a hole in the back behind the seats, weld some nice steel in there, paint it up, and creat a baffle wall where you cut the hole to the bed with the subwoofers in there... but you should know what you are doing before you even THINK about trying this //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yea, there has been a couple people here who have done cutouts in the bed of thier trucks.

He likes rap/hip hop so i was thinkin a TDX or CM3 12 but those wont fit without a cutout. Ill sure give him the option for that but i dont think he'll be up for the challenge. I know diamonds require about .75sq/ft but what other subs could fit in that little airspace. Any experienced recomendations?
