there was a guy with a first gen ranger who worked at an audio shop near me. he had a cap on the bed and had 6 15" memphis subs (forget what model). the rear window was taken completely out, and he used a flexible rubber boot, like you'd normally use for a blow thru. the rear sagged badly, lol. it was a shame, some lady t-boned him before he could ever get it finished. i sat in it once and thought i was going to explode from the pressure.

I'd like to see some pics of them and have searched but not found much. There is another name for... but I can't think of it.

I had it in a nissan I just sold. It never sealed correctly and if you drive it daily and dont need the bed then stay away from it. I had it in a show truck and it was pretty much useless and every time it would start to sprinkle I got worried. If I were to do it again I wouldnt have done a bed cut.

this is a perfectly legit and safe method if done right.
How are they going to steal my subs if they are mounted in a sheet metal box, that is welded to my bed???
if it is welded correctly, and sealed well, it will never leak, and be just as vulnerable as your head unit sitting inside your truck, if they break the window, they will have access, but its not like anyone could just reach into my truckbed and remove my subs...there isnt a way to get to them inside the STEEL HOUSING.
on a 97 splash I did for a friend, we actually used a bike tire inner tube and duct tape to seal the cab/bed transition. When he gets leaks, he just pumps up the inner tube more. Kinda ghetto, but totally works and is (except for occasionally) leak-free.

my friend just traded a bagged body dropped s10 for a 98 single cab hard body.. the WHOLE back wall of the truck is gone and has a camper shell on it.. it has the occordian style boot/gasket/whatever you wanna call it, around the opening between the cab and the bed/camper shell. he has a wall of 4 15s along with amps and other speakers.
leak free, other wise all his amps would be ruined since they are right under the rubber piece.
heres pictures to the tool box/speaker box/amp rack that was mentioned... this was done by a shop by my old house... saw the install in person while i was up there.. DAMN!
