No door speakers?

If you are going for loud, two 10s will probably be your best bet (going to 12s normally limits you to shallows). By
enclosed, I assume you mean sealed (as opposed to ported). Basic difference is you will get more output and lower frequency extension from the same power on a ported setup, but you sacrifice a significant amount of space. You could do two tens sealed or one ten ported in the room you have under your rear seat. The JL Audio stealthbox from your picture of the W3 (I noticed the "loaded") is an example of a ported setup.

When you select your sub amp, pay attention to the RMS power output (not the peak/max which does not matter). Look for a class D amp that can make the rated RMS power (or a little more preferably) at the ohm load you can provide with your subs:
If you get two tens with the following:
2 ohm DVC - then you can run as low as 2 ohms as one channel
4 ohm DVC - then you can run as low as 1 ohm as one channel
2 ohm SVC - then you can run as low as 1 ohm as one channel
4 ohm SVC - then you can run as low as 2 ohms as one channel

You've got the right subs picked out. I've heard many systems in Ford trucks and the JL Audio w3 10's are my favorite.
Here is the sub box you will need.

It's personal preference, if you are just looking for a sub to round out your low end (especially if your running mids and highs off of that head unit), a single 10 will be plenty.

I don't believe Fox has a single sub setup for our trucks, and you are going to be hard pressed to find a prefab box other than his that will fit a W3. There are several single 10 boxes out there, but just watch your mounting depth (you'll probably be limited to around 5.25") the Dayton HO and Infinity Reference 1052W are both decent subs that are shallow enough to fit in 5.25"

I have a single 10 downfire box that fits the 04+ Super cabs and 04-08 super crews. Its fits on the driver side of the 60/40 bracket.
