Speaker installation for dummies.

I've looked at the boxes for the scab. They are the same.
No one here can at least explain to me why it won't work. It doesn't make sense why it wouldn't so educate me instead of making me feel like I need to buy something else. It fits perfectly. If I don't like the sound I'll take it back.

Thank you. I am raising my seat an extra inch just to be safe.
And to the previous poster who said I am just going to do it my way, that's not what I intended. I just wanted someone to explain why a box that looks the same and fits won't work. But when people say "just get this or this", that may be true. I just like to understand things is all.

The box will "work" just fine.
As it's not made for your specific style of truck there may be some extra effort required to make sure it doesn't rattle around and get damaged if you happen upon a bumpy road or hidden pothole. Worst case is it becomes a projectile in an accident.
Just make sure you secure it so it doesn't move around.

I'm not trying to be a D-Bag, and I'm pretty sure that's how this is gonna come out, so sorry in advance if that's how you take it.
If you are serious about your initial questions and you don't have anyone physically there to help or teach you how to do this, I would suggest for you to not do it yourself and to pay to have it done.
There are way to many things that could go wrong in the install, and if you don't know what you are doing it may turn your nice truck into an expensive campfire. Let alone setting up the system so it sounds good, and that you don't ruin your equipment.
Pay the money so you don't have to worry about it - My 2 cents.

Once again sorry if that was Douch-y but asking if you can hook up a 1000 watt amp to any "nearby available power" is just asking for trouble. God forbid the poor man install it directly off the battery with no fuse (or wrong size).
I was blessed to have had someone to help teach me how to install before the internet became widespread, and I've tried to help out everyone that's ever asked me.
I also have no problem with a little trial and error, however I'm not gonna recommend someone to go install new supercharger with only internet knowledge to back them up either.

You are a D-bag but then again so am I. Learning by yourself is one thing but using incorrect parts even after you have gotten advice not to is another thing. Altering your truck to make sure your incorrect parts fit when the correct ones are available is another thing but to each their own. It could be an expensive way to learn.
