I wishbo had the space for a normal box and sub. I got a regular cab, so I'm extremely limited as to what I can fit behind my seat :/

yea dude but think you have less air in the cab thus u need less to make it bump. i had 2 10" kicker comps in the sealed angled boxes that go behind the seat in my 97 f250 single cab long box and that thing ****in bumped. so its actually kinda a good thing u got less space!

My plan is 1 10" sub, with 200-250 watts rms being fed to it from an amp. I figure I'll feel it real good with the thing most likely touching my seat lol

thats why i love the new f150s. my truck is a reg cad. i had a ranger with two tens. a little trick to save space is to use the back of the cab as the back of the box and seal the box to the back of the cab. make the box taller, widder, and dont forget to devide it. rockford fosgate are great speakers in small boxes as well as kicker. a crappy sub will sound good in a great box. measure the space u got figure up how many cubic ft ur box can be max and choice ur subs from that.....or you can do what im going to do next and do a bed cut....2 12"s isnt enough but 4 !2''s and 6000 watts should be!! lmao

Seal the sub box to the back wall? Would it ever come off if I needed?! lol
I'm looking for premade boxes for a sub, because they'll be better than what I can make right away...

Thread Revival!
Busted my butt more today! On monday I bought an oldish Pioneer 10 in box off my friend. $25! So last night I bought a 300w amp and wiring kit, and speaker wire. Installed it today, and overall it went real easy, hardest part was routing the power wire. Got lucky and found a rubber grommet in the body by the door. You can find it by opening your passenger door, and you'll see a rubber plug in the gap. It comes through about 3 inches from where the rubber thing that takes speaker wire to the door goes in. Cut a hole it, threaded it over the wire and fit it, life was good.
So now I've got 150w rms running through a 10 in a regular cab, sub is in a box on the trans hump, and it hits pretty good!
Only bad thing is the sub has a slight rattle, but I'm pretty sure that has a lot to do with the whole age+it's been fed 30w rms more than it's rated for. Either way, for the price, can't beat it! Now I'm completely satisfied with my system
