I don't want to start a argument but thats bad advise.
Unless you had a box on top of your seats with the proper air volume or you went extreme and jacked you seat up you don't have the right air space.
You only have 1.2 cubic feet to work with under the seat of a super crew and thats .6 per sub. Cheaper import boxes only have .9-1 cubic feet.
A pair of JL w3 10's will be in there OPTIMUM sealed air volume @ .6 each.
No 12 will work well in .6 cubic feet so the bass will be punchy and have a hump in the response from 60hz and up and roll off bad from 40 and down.
Just about any 10 will play flat and accurate to 20hz and bellow.
I've been in this business for 12 years and its amazing how many people are still stuck on the bigger is better boat.
If you have the airspace its better but when you don't your shooting yourself in the foot.
A 8" sub in the proper enclosure will play just as deep as a 15" sub. Just not as loud.

I wasnt aware that I posted a picture of myself or my age.....Havent been called a kid in about 15 years.
I also wasnt aware that I have to own one to have one available. I have many employees and one has a 06 Ford super crew "the one in the photos" I have one that owns a Titan, several that have Chevy's and I own a Avalache, a Ram quad cab, a 300c, a Pt Cruiser, and a 32' Ford Coupe.

I have the CNC plasma cutter. The only thing I would have to outsource would be the powder coating.
Do you have some good pictures of your lift kit that you can post.
I seen that you were in Georgia. My brother lives in Alpharetta and I'm flying there for on Sept. 23 for my nephews birthday. Any chance we could meet up. I would like to see one in person and find out what gauge steel they are using and how they made the brackets to lift the seat belts.
If anyone else is in the Louisiana area and has one I would like to see it.

I was just thinking that there might be a market out there for these lift kits. My regular box has 6.125" mounting depth w/ 1.5" floor clearance. If I make a similar lift kit of 2.5" I could increase my floor clearance to 2" like supercrewsound and my mounting depth would be 8.125". Thats deep enough to put a extremely high powered sub.

but anywho yeah sounds like you could make a pretty nice box usin the seat lift here is a link to a thread where there are pictures of all of the brackets used in the lift. it seems that the lift is pretty simply made except from that one middle pivot piece.
