My system 2 12" subs in Reg Cab
Finally got it done........2 12" Rockford fosgate P1 subs. Space was pretty limited, but managed to get them back there without losing any leg room. Its running off the factory HU and I used a converter (I couldn't get the HI input to work, so I gave up). It sounds pretty good, accept that the wood is vibrating on itself in a couple places cause I didn't put enough screws, so its only running on maybe a 1/4 of its potential cause I cut the gain down so the vibration wasn't loud......hopefully I can put more screws in it tommorrow, so I can turn the bass up more. Ok heres the pics...........Not very good pics, cause I had to use the flash, and it was alittle dark. I'll get better ones when I get completely done with it.

Thanks ya'll.
Turns out, the end of the magnets on the subs were hitting the back wall of the box as the bass hit, causing it to make a loud vibration, and I missed 2 rows of screws, making the box not sealed good at all.....not sure how I missed them. Anyways, I fixed all the problems, and it does sound pretty good even using the converter and factory HU. Best part is that I didn't spend a dime putting the system in my truck, since I already had the subs/amp/wiring.

Hmm...this is intriguing...
I also have a reg cab truck and am trying to find a way to fit a sub. Honestly, it looks like the way you did it is the most efficient/cheapest way to get it done. Fiberglassing might fit better allowing more volume for the sub, but will cost more and be a PITA.
So are each of the subs in a chambered box? Or do they share volume?
How big of an interior volume do the subs have? It looks really narrow for a 12", so I'm guessing the subs don't hit all that low and don't sound too boomy. Is that the case? Or do they sound fine?
How did you design the box? Just measure, guestimate, and cut the box according the guess? Or did you test it and trimmed until it fit?
And how deep are the subs?
Do the cones hit the back of the seat?

I am a little worried about the box size and how it makes the sub sound, so I was thinking about making a similar sized box as yours (spanning behind the driver's seat, center, and partly behind the passenger seat), but only putting a single 10" inside. Do you think a small-box 10 with a bigger box will hit as low as 2x12"s in the same sized box?
