Ok, school me on a system setup guys...
Well as the title says I'm wanting to add a system in my 2010 extended cab. I found a box on amazon that will fit under my rear seat and house 2 12" subs. I am wanting to run 2 12" rockford fosgate shallow p3's since there's not much housing depth to the box. So if I'm on the right track so far then I have 3 questions. First, will 8 gauge wiring kit be sufficient for this setup? Second what amp should I look into that will push these subs sufficiently without breaking the bank? Will any old amp work that's rated at a certain wattage? If so, what would that wattage be? Ok, third question is since I have a stock stereo, how do I go about wiring all this together? I've always wired systems to aftermarket stereos, never to a stock stereo, so is there anything else needed to complete setup? Thanks in advance guys, I'm really wanting a decent setup without breaking the bank.

I'm selling a fox box ported with 2 10s. Will demolish 2 shallow 12s. Trust me I have tried many applications in my truck. It's a ported fox box with 2 ssa gcon 10" subs. $700+ brand new for subs and box. I'm willing to let go for $450 I also have amps for sale if you are interested. And a single 10" sealed box with a ssa dcon.

I am not sure how 2 12's will fit under the rear seat. Those subs also are fairly deep and not sure if it will fit under the seat depth wise. The tallest point from floor to bottom of seat is around 7 inches towards the edge and that sub as a mounting depth of 6.5" With just my single 10 and my own box I made it still sticks out a hair. As far as connecting an amp to the stock stereo, the easiest ways is to us the pac audio interface. The one you need is PAC AOEM-FRD24. It allows you to connect an amp without splicing into your factory harness. I used 4g for my system which includes a 400 watt 4 channel amp, single 10" sub and door speakers. I wouldn't use anything less than 4g preferably 0g only because you might decide you want to add on to your system down the road. A class d amp rated around 1000 to 1500 watts should good to power both.

Pro box super bass. I made my own box in my 08 with 2 kicker cvr 10s with a Rockford Fosgate 1000w and Polk 5250 component speakers in the front with a mini Rockford Fosgate 300w. Thing hit hard as hell and was super loud. Added some dynamat and your set

A box will fit under the seat, but it comes down to depth of the subwoofers since you have to allow a certain amount of airspace. The RF P3's have a 6.5" of mounting depth so it will be close. I can't remember that exact dimensions, but I think the tallest point of the box I built was 7 or 8" towards the front and like 6" at the rear in order for it to fit and net me as much airspace as I could get and the depth of my sub was around 5-5.5". I also used 3/4 mdf so that took away some of the airspace. Had I used 1/2" mdf I could of gained an additional .5" of airspace. You will have no floor space with 12's. You are better off buying one really good 10 instead of 2 12's IMO.
