amps won't fit behind the wall. you have to put them under the seat or in a tool box out in the bed. i've seen some that put the amps and some subs in the truck bed with a carpet in there and a tonneau cover. i use my bed like a lot of you do, so quite impractical.

eh they are all going to be pretty much the same box no matter where you get it if its a dual ten downfiring. just got a better deal there than locally.

commonly known as cut-through... or just cut. cut the rear wall and the front wall of the bed and run a large boot for weather purposes.. seen guys run 4 15's and 5000 watts just in the bed... plain phsyics would tell ya ... the windows HAD to be in the down position to turn that kinda of setup up... purley for show or a DD that doesnt use the bed at all... very very impractical ...

ive also seen guys cut there floors down and add 4 12's "under" the cab and blew them up towards the seats,,, actually worked well.. ALOT of fabbing and gets pricy .. lot a metal needed to drop the floor down far enough... let alone the drive shaft had to have its own tunnel to run through... completley crazy!

ya know i love working with metal in the machine shop but something about that to me just says overkill.... not even worth the innovation and "newness"

I have my amp under my center seat. I have also found for you folks out there with sony 10 disc changers that you can "stuff" a changer under the center seat near the front, allows for easy access from drivers postition to change mags.

oh yeah we know what you're talking about... i just think it's over kill. and i still want to use the bed to um you know HAUL stuff in. like for camping, snowboarding, mt biking... summer is coming and it's time to go out in the sun.

what is that blinding light??? i'm an engineer.. i don't go out in the sun.

OW MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!!
