Was wondering if any of have systems in your trucks, mainly the std cabs. I'm trying to think of some ideas. I know I wanna do a bed box, but I'm debating if I wanna do SPL, SQ, or both. What are you guys & gal(s) running, if any? If any of you have bed boxes already, pics please!

 

i dont know what an spl or sq is but in my std cab i installed 6.5 inch speakers and i have two 6x9s behind the bench seats in a box, and that BUMPS! u culd fit a 10" sub in a slanted box behind there. i was gonna do that but then i decided to wait for a bed box but if ur not runnin a bench seat just make sure u just recline ur seat to where the box fits, which isnt that difficult because the box is pretty thin for having a sub in there.

 

SPL is Sound Presure Level, it measures the amount of decibals (db's) in your car from the bass. SQ is Sound Quality.

I'm 6 ft. those seats are not goin any further up. Besides, I want more than one 10". Been there, done that, ruled it. I wanna do at least 3 10's, thinking of doing 8 Alpine Type-S 10's off 2 Alpine 1000 watt amps.

 

I fit 2 kicker 12 inch cvrs behind my stock bench seat and it effing QUAKED!!!!

If you need the box that is just large enough to fit the 12 I can get them for 50 a piece,they are slanted so they tuck behind the seat pretty well.

Luckily my titan has a lot more room to work with so I am going to go with 6x9s in all four doors which also have stock tweeters in each door. 2 12 inch kicker l7 1200 watt subs under the back seat. I already have a custom box made to fit under the seat for those subs.. just need amps and subs now

 

My plans are to get a CD player that works. Stupid CD player crapped out on me and I can only listen to the radio.

 

Ill sell you a pioneer DEH-5000UB used but will be in the original box.. lmk if u want it

 

Javi, don't do 6x9's! Do 6 1/2" components. They will sound a hell of alot better and get just as much bass responce.

 

they probably are 6 1/2s im not sure.. Im just buying something nice that fits in the factory spots

 

Lets not forget Pioneers Shallow mount subs!

Very cool subs! Ideal for std cab trucks! I bet you could fit 3 or 4 behind the seat...... depending on the size.

 

even though they are shallow you cant put more of them behind the seat.. maybe 3 TOPS but you will have a few more inches of leg room !

 

You know what i am getting at.... more room!

 

You could always make baffles like these. They were in my F-150 which is a 6x8, I installed a 5 1/4"

 

They are nice, but I don't use my bed for anything. I planned on doing a bed box from the beginning. Plus, there are quite a few people here that do stereo competitions that run high end equipment. I like to prove to them that you don't have to buy high end stuff to compete. The system that I have in mind is all entry level stuff from Alpine.

 

Yea sounds like you got it all figured out! Alpine makes good stuff!

 

Sort of, I'm just trying to get ideas for the box setup.

 

My system

i have 1 6' 1/2 speaker on each side door and 10' subwoofer in the middle

pics below

 

I needed something low profile, since I am 6'3" and was driving a bodied standard cab.

 

would this box fit in a standard cab?

Twisted, wow, Crunch! I haven't seen Crunch since '94. Had two Crunch 8's behind the seat of an '86 Ranger.

Possibly, depends on how much room you're willing to give up.

 

I have a bazooka 8" box with a Alpine type "s" 8" mounted in it. The bazooka just could not handle what I wanted it too. The alpine is awsome and the space it takes up in nothing. People do not believe me when i say it is only an 8", They always figure it is a 12".

It is certainly not a competition system, But it sounds great and takes up no space.......
