My subs required 1 cubic ft each but I was only able to get about 0.81 cubic ft for each sub. It still sounds good and hits hard enough that I will have to get the cab dynamatted and have my old boss put expanding foam in open areas like he did in his competition vehicles.
I made the box myself. Without the carpet, you can see all the mistakes I made. I was still able to seal it well.
Cost me just over $100 in mdf, carpet and spray adhesive. It would probably have cost double that to have it custom built by a shop.

racinjason68 - What is your full setup look like? What you using for your components? and did you fabricate your own box for those? looks good, and I'm sure in person that sounds amazing. Good work

Well I didnt want to pull the back seat to see the amps. (3) I have a power coustic 4ch for the doors with Memphis 5x7's. The deck is a Jensen as you can see in the vid, many shy away from it, but I have found it not the best but way better than I thought it would be. Also has alot of crap built in it. Yes I built my own box and it is only partialy carpeted, why carpet what you cant see, also done due to how tight the box is under the seat.
I did use 3/4" MDF and that made things a little tighter, could have went with less and done a few more braces, but like a good sturdy box. I have a few pics of the box during building but can't upload them at work. My supervisor has heard my system and was very surprised at the sound, he has 2-10 JLw6's in his Honda truck with custom box...

Ya I like the setup for sure... I wish I had the money to do the same but for now I'm gonna have to settle for a pair of 10's. How did you mount the amps to the back wall? Did you use self tapping screws straight to the wall, or did you mount the amps to something else and then to the wall?
