if it's ext cab under the back seat is the best place.

 

but if your stuck to a reg. cab  behind the seat is your only option unless you went like me and did a bandpass that shoots through your cab wall from the bed

what size subs? do you like ported boxes, sealed boxes?

 

i'm thinking about adding mid basses into the pocket kind of things in the ext cab of my truck. seal those up and put a box in. but subs are going under the rear bench.

 

you could get creative and get some illiusion audio subs and try and mount those up front maybe under the dash. since they have the motor reversed (very little mounting depth requirements). those are some sweet SQ subs. but expensive. and not maybe ppl care that much for front bass. you could port through the cab like the other guy. but thats a lot of work and then you cant really do much anymore with the truck and lose bed space.

I can't remember who makes it but there is a product out there that replaces the stock center console with the deep compartment and puts a single sub in that. looks stock but has a sub instead of the deep compartment between the two seats. This is on the full center console with captains chairs only. not the split bench. it's pricey though. about $500 for the unit.

I need to finish the box...

 

Ext. cab would obviously have more options.

Screw blowthroughs, if you have an ext cab, then be like me and just remove the rear seat and install 4 18" subs.

In my 2001 Ex Cab I have 2 12'' Memphis M1's Under the rear seat, and it sounds really great, the only problem that I have is that I have a out fire box and it takes up the leg room of the back seat so when I have passengers you have to move the front seats forword so they can be comfortable, Needless to say its a pain in the a** and I am getting rid of it and going back to a downfire or and upfire box, they fit under the rear seat and looks factory and keeps all the passengers happy, with leg room.

your box makes or breaks your system. build your system around your box

 

 

I agree and disagree.

 

Even the top of the line sub is gonna sound like crap in a poorly built box. However, a bargain bin cheapo sub will still sound like crap, even in the best of designed and built boxes.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
