Default Subs / Enclosures

I'm looking for some ideas for Subs / Enclosures for my truck. I would like to have at least two round 10's or at least 2 square 8's. I also would like to have an amp and a capacitor or maybe someone makes a combination amp / capacitor. The problem is my truck is a regular cab and the space available is small.

Has anyone ever done anything like this with their truck? If so I would love to see pictures and get some details. I ordered my head unit yesterday and it is the Alpine CDA-9857. It should be able to control any system I dream up no problem.

I have also thought about building my own custom box or having one built. I could make an AutoCAD drawing of what I want if someone could make it for me cheap, or I could give a try at building it myself. Give me some advice if you think you can help, mostly I would love to see pictures of what other regular cab owners have done with their trucks.

These sound good in a regular cab with the amp on full range.

Or just swap out the center seat with a box. I fit a 10" Kicker Solo-baric in it, which is all you'd ever need. I'm running it in mono, and can put up to 1500watts into it. It hits great and even bolted the arm rest onto the box. I think it's Orion that makes a similar design but in a formed plastic.

Does anyone have the JLaudio center seat replacement sub on this board? I saw it on the website the other day and was wondering how it sounds and if it rattles everything in the center counsel to pieces:

JL, that's who it was. Just make your own man, it's real easy. Then have a shop throw some fabric over it real quick. It took me one night to pull the seat, cut the particle board, build the box, and fit the armrest console. Then I just ran all the wires the next night.

I have that JL 12" Stealthbox in my 01' Cummins. It sounds REALLY good! It hits well but does not rattle. It sounds really solid, lots of compliments! Also it was extremely easy to install, only took a couple hours. It bolted right up then just had to run the wires. I am really happy with it though.

I got a 10" box off of a guy on e-bay. It was already covered, and it was pretty cheap. My console is bolted to the top and everything. It's not too bad. The console doesn't rattle at all or anything. I've got a single voice coil eclipse 10" with an Alpine mono 450 amp, it sounds great.

had a box built by a carpenter per specs. that would fit my truck. Boston coustic 10" woofer and i still had room for my pheonix gold amp and two separate 6x9 speakers in aftermarket boxes behind my seats, but after that not much else would fit.
