Default System.

I want to get a system but I don't want to lose any seating space. is that possible or no? i love how i have a backseat, i don't want to lose my seats! but if I could wedge it in the middle of the back that would be cool....

they make a base speaker that fits between the two rear seats. i think it is from jbl. it looks like an arm rest, as for my system i have the 6.5 still in the door. myamp is between the two rear seats and i have a set of boxed speakers on the seats. i left plenty of wire so i can remove the speakers and rest them on the truck to listen too. outdoors

I removed to bracket for the jack and put a 10" shallow in box behind the seat, the seat won't fold up all the way but you can still get underneath if needed. and put the amp under the driver side rear seat. this gives you the 10" sound with out taking any rear seat space.

Haha, that's sweet! At least people can still sit there, might be a bit uncomfortable though haha. Thanks! I like the way you set it up. What kind of stereo do you have for it?

you do feel bit of a vibration when the seat is all back together lol. its a 1200w sub with a 300w dual amp. i was just looking to add a little bass next up for sound is polk speakers. i put a hi-low converter out of the factory 6 cd stereo it sounds nice and looks clean!

Oh wow so even after the sub is back there you can still put the seat back in place?? That would be even better! Vibrations don't hurt anyone hahaha I'll just have to warn them before they sit back there. Sounds like you got yourself a sweet system though. Must be great showing that off

Nice truck! I've seen it on Car Domain before when I was looking at all the Dakota's!

What are those two lights that are under your hood that are see-able from the grill? I love those. I want some. But what are they called and what's the point of them? They're nice!

Also, I want a K&N air intake, but would that void my warranty if anything happened under the hood?
