since its a quad cab you cant put them under the seat. i have an 02 quad cab. i ordered a kicker 10 inch tcvt sub. this is the new slim line sub. i put mine behind the rear seat. all you have to do is relocate your jack to the bed and grind off the holdig tabs that kept it in place. i had the guys at circuit city do mine. as far as an amp goes, i would use the kicker zx 400.1 it will supply the power that the sub needs. its a great combo.

I don't understand what the holding tabs are that hold the jack in place?

Go to www.crutchfield.com . Then go to the subwoofer section and MTX has a set up for our trucks. It goes under both of the rear seats i am guessing that you just take the old sectional form out. It comes withe two MTX 10" subs and a amp that are built in. i have been wanting to do this but i spent all my money on a new head unit and speakers. It is bakc to saving again. but i think that is your best bet. Good luck.

question... how much do you use your back seats? if you dont use them i would take them out and built a massive box and put 3 or 4 12's in it.

I have had one friend put his sub over the hump in the back seat, and another replaced the console with a larger one and shoved a sub in there. The amp was placed in a cut-out slot in the middle front seat.

If you have the desire I can walk you through building your own fiberglass enclosure. It's not that hard, just time consuming.
