    can yall post up pics of your sub woofer setups. i got an 87 single cab. i just built a box for one ten but i want to put two and the single box was a hassle. im trying to fit two 10 inch kicker comps. i dont want to put shallow subs because i already bought the comps.

    at one time i had a single box for 2 10's but found it much more favorable to run a single 12" sub behind the driver side ( i removed the factory metal jack mount). Whats really a pain in the but is the hump in the center, not only on the floor for driveshaft clearance but the rear wall as well. If you are not a diehard audio fan then you may be just as good going with 2 sealed single 10" truck box's. Personally i am not a fan of sealed enclosures but even comp 10's require 1.25-1.75 cu ft vented. So two sealed enclosures will probably be your best bet unless you design a custom enclosure with a fiberglass rear that molds into the rear wall to optimize all your air space.

    I had two 12's behind my seats, they are shallow mount subs so they are only about seven or so inches deep. Shock is great to stick behind the stock setup.

    i had a standard .77 cu ft sealed box for 1 12" it fit behind the seat, i just had to sit the seat up to where the notch in the bench touched the shift boot. I had 1 Cerwin Vega IT 12" in the box on a RF Power 250m, then sold it and had 1 10" Elemental Designs 10a with a US Amps 150 on it. The ED sub was a quality sub but the Vega had more umph.. enough to make the windshield wipers vibrate off the glass while they was on. Nothing like the USACI systems i used to build in my civic hatch, but ok for the little truck. Sorry i have no pictures.

    how about you take pictures of the area behind your seat and post them so i can see what the conflict is, show the enclosure for the 6" ed speaker also.
