Default Subwoofer Ideas for Ram 1500 QC?

I just updated the head unit to an Alpine with Sirius satellite tuner, but still lacking in the bass dept. Anyone have any success in finding a subwoofer enclosure that works with the Quad Cab Rams?

JL Audio. It's the best in my opinion. It's called a stealth box. It fits perfectly under the back seat and holds a JL 10w3
sub <--- plenty of bass for a truck. The only problem is that you have to order it from a JL dealer, then they order it from the JL factory. A pretty big pain, but it's worth it. I'm going to grab some food right now so I'll snap some pictures of it to give you a better idea.

Awesome, thanks! We have a JL Audio dealer on the other side of town. The have a rep of being expensive but their work is second to none. I have never been in there but I see their work in a lot of show cars.

Yeah they are more expensive than most brands, but the sound quality is the best. I've never used anything except JL. The work the JL dealers do on installing them is the best, and if anything ever goes wrong, they'll fix it for free. Go in and talk to them, they actually know what they are talking about unlike people at Best Buy. The box comes with the sub already in it so all you have to do is drop it in and plug it in. The last picture is how it looks with the seat down <--- next to impossible to see so it's highly unlikely it will get stolen.
All the pictures file sizes were too large to upload and I don't know how to make them smaller, so I'm going to see if i can send them to your email. Let me know if you get them.

I have looked for boxes on the internet and i have found on EBAY that there are several boxes that are being offered from $45 to $125 that claim to fit flush underneath the back seat. Here is an example of one that i have found that seems to look pretty decent, with a price tag of about $65

I have a Infinity Kappa Perfect 10 in a qlogic box in my 04 qc. It sounds great but JL's sound quality is great too.

bazooka 8" mounts perfectly behind the center box between the seats in front of the cup holder on the floor. I would post pictures but im out of town. Also there is a guy on ebay "hotbox" , i belive is the name, that has an enclosure that replaces the compartment below the front armrest. I would have done the hotbox if i didnt already own the bazooka.
