I put a downfiring ported box in my friends extended cab silverado with 2-8" kicker L7 subs. Sounds really good. He wasn't too sure about going with 8's, but he likes them now. Subs come with the specs you need to build it, just make sure you have the right cubes inside and port size and you should be alright. Also, I saw on the net, you can just buy a pre-fabbed box ready to go.

I personally used the pictures to get a basic idea, then went with it on my own. Depends on how good you are with that stuff. Hope this helps, good luck.

It is possible with the right subs and power.
Heres what I did. It is the best sounding box I have made for 10s.
In my sig you can see what I have.

Do you have a blueprint for that build?
Love the amp placement you did with that design.

I really like that box. I was thinking of taking out my 12s and going to 10s. I might BORROW your design.

I'd just go with a setup like Blue 01 shows in the pic. Bass is easy to increase in the cab of a truck.

In highschool a friend of mine had Regular cab dodge pickup with 4 JL 12"s and i don't remember what wattage he was running. but no one ever knew he had them until late into senior year when he let someone drive his truck during lunch. they drove to the store and started messing with the radio. on the way back we could hear them FOREVER before they finally showed up. It sounded like someone was in the parking lot bumping the entire time. but instead it was them several blocks away jamin out.

the different directions of firing the sub will have different acoustical responses and will "load" better in different places in the cab.

probox used to have a good dual 10 ported box for chevy.

you can build your own and even easily raise the seat to squeeze a little more air space. subs up or forward, with ports forward or out the sides.
