Sub box diagram and dimensions
This was for my 03 FX4 S-cab
Here are some dimensions and possible cubic feet for a sub box in a 97-03 supercab. I created a program to optimize my volume given the space I had possible. I ran some more complicated programs, but the one I am posting here should be easy to see and decipher.
Hope this helps

Thats really badass. Ive been looking to get subs eventually and might try to tackle this this summer. Do u have the programs saved so I could get the dimensions in an email?

So you put something under the seat where it bolts into the cab to raise it up giving u clearance for the box to be bigger?
do u have to do that or can you probably put shallow subs without raising the seat?
I am just trying to get an idea of the easiest way to put 2 10s in under my seat without too much modification. If not 2 subs, 1 will suffice.

However, I don't think shallow mounts give as good of performance as full excursion subs, so I had to make a way to fit a sub with a top mount depth of 5.875inches. So I fabbed so steel spacers to raise the seat about 30mm. Then im using two 3/4 baffle's to cover the rim of the sub, then one to give room for the 20mm excursion of the sub cone.

Here are a few more pics. Still needs a baffle and another top baffle for protection from the seat.
Heres the full size sub 5.875in top mount type R's that will be going into it
As you can see I prefer my Rockford Power Series Amps to do all the hard work. Alpine subs are pretty decent for the price. Although, I have had a couple to blow with heavy power. But they will surely suffice in a supercab truck for so heavy thumbing. I typically jsut listen to rock and country, so as long as I have a good set of components upfront any subs work. I appologize ahead of time for posting pics of my bmw on a Ford forum.
