I really suggest going with a center console sub box for your kind of cab, that would definitely be the best in my opinion...

what???? and you cant put a comp sub in that box?? honestly the air space in that box will be so much better than the airspace in any box you can get behind your seats meaning you could get a better sub amp combo in there than behind your seat even with dual subs... you could just get a high end sub to throw in that box, they have subs that run 900 watts rms and amounts like that and honestly I wouldnt be able to handle the noise one of those put out... if you want advice then take it and be grateful instead of just attacking the first person who was willing to try and help... sure, ill be right in next time you have a thread.

coming from a former USAC competitor, I can tell you that regular cab trucks are very hard to make good bass when coming from behind the seat. The coolest thing to do is to make a down-firing stealth box in the center seat.

It takes a bit of work, and I dont have any pics (I have a club cab) but I've done one in a reg cab dodge with 1 JL 12W3 and it was very satisfying.

Basically, you have to remove that center seat/console piece, tear the guts out of it, then fab up the box inside where the center seat used to be (retaining the padding on the top of course). Just measure it out so you can also retain the stock metal mounting frame structure, and give yourself 1-2 inches clearence from the floor, and it will hit like a sack of hammers and shake the floor of the truck, instead of losing that bass to the backseat.

Subs do well when they have something to "load" off, and the floor of a vehicle makes a great structure to do just that. When they fire through a back seat, you tend to lose a lot of the frequencies below 45hz or so, so getting that deep-rich, gangsta rap bass is harder to accomplish.

But, its up to you, and how much work you want to devote to tearing apart the truck.
