I have a super cab too, found a box on ebay for $70 shipped fits great. Only came in a dark grey carpet but I got vinyl/carpet paint and matched the light grey carpet in the truck.

Putting the subs under the back seat, does it make the back seat uncomfortable?

It doesn't make the seat any harder. My daughters car seat is on that side and she hasn't complained yet and we all know kids never bite their tongue lol.

I'm really new to sound so I don't know much. I can't figure out how to match up subs with amps that will power them. I'm getting a Pioneer FH-X700BT double din radio. Most likely I'm getting Alpine SPS-517 speakers.

It can be confusing. The hard part can be matching up the ohm load a amp can handle and the ohm load of a sub. Your better off getting a mono block amp which basically means a single channel. 2 reasons, 1 is they are made to drive subs and 2 they are usually small in size which is nice in a truck. Most run at 2 ohms so look for a sub with dual 4 ohm voice coils which when wired together will drop down to 2 ohms. Next just match up power ratings of the sub to amp. So if you get a 600w amp get a sub that is close to 600w. If you order from Crutchfield they will help you out if not check out this site it's very helpful. ..the12volt.com.

Say I plan on getting 2 Kicker 10"s which has dual 2-ohm voice coils. Power range is 50-300 watts. So I would get a 600 watt amp to power both of them?

Correct you just have to wire them up in series parallel. On each sub connect one positive from one voice coil to the negative on the other voice coil then a wire off the other the other remaining positive and negative. Then connect both positives together as well as the negatives and you'll have a 2 ohm load at the amp. That site I linked has diagrams to make it easier.

And you said i should get a mono block amp? Then again, I'm getting Pioneer TS-G6844r speakers, front and rear. Should I get another amp to power those? My new HU is a Pioneer FH-X700BT, peak output is 50 watts. Those 4 speakers have a 160 watt nominal all combined.

What's the best drop in touchscreen for my 06? And what's a good under seat box or setup sub-wise for the rear ? It's a crew cab.

I'm a pioneer fan, lots of features and can be found cheap on ebay or amazon. I have a focal 10" in an underseat box. Found both on ebay $99 for sub $69 for box. Hard part is finding a good sub that's shallow enough to fit in an underseat box.
