Default MTX Thunderforms -- Subs for Ext.Cab

I was just wondering if anyone else has seen or has used these "Crutchfield MTX Thunderforms"??
They seem kinda like a good idea, but according to some of the user posts they don't really fit 100% and you're somewhat limited on what Subs you can put in there (assuming you don't want the ones you can buy with the item). Anywho, I haven't seen these posted up on the board so I thought I'd show everyone, and try to get some reliable feedback on them.
Just on a side note: If you have a aftermarket sound system, Post up what you put in your Dakota, and how well you like your system! ! I'm thinking of putting some sound in, and just getting an idea of what others are using

Nice looking truck, I especially like the wheels.... How does that T-form fit? Does your back seat go all the way down flush (as factory).... Any cons or troubles with it at all?

Thanks for the input!

i have a standard cab and was able to fit 2 8" 400w subs behind the seat. i've seen the thunderforms and they do fit very well, there may have been an older model that didn't fit perfectly, but i think they resolved that problem.

The backseats dont set flush, they angle upward a little . there's 4 small bolts that hold the t-form in place , i could only get three of them in ,so it is off but just barely you cant notice.


i think i posted earlier i had thunder 6000's, i was wrong they're the 4500's.



if anyone wants to buy a set of eagle alloys i'll sell for $125.00 + s/h (identical to this rim)

i also have the thunderform in my 03 clubcab dakota. there are fitting issues in 03-04 dakotas with older thunderform molds because of the LATCH kiddie seat mounting brackets (not present in 97-02 dakotas). i recently just swapped out the original t4500s with adire subs.


i'm gradually upgrading from the factory stereo setup, my Cardomain Page has the current progress.
