New system (pics)
Here is my new system. Its still not done......I still need to make extensions for the rear speakers to mount to, and then carpet it. Air space per box is about .66, which is what I need. The recommended range is .66-1.00. Im breaking the sub in right now........
dude that is gonna be LOUD! looks sweet tho. very nice. almost how i did mine without the space in the middle for the amp. should've tho haha. i like what you did with the limited space. reg cabs are tough on space. lookin good nonetheless!
i wont lie to ya.....setup looks good, maybe not enough amp for both those subs since the amp is a single channel,
but..........the boxes look like crap.......you need to build them out of 3/4" MDF board and make the joints match a lot better than that so it is sealed good......with big globs of what ever that tan/orange stuff is, it will swell and flex.....and the plywood isn't strong enough to handle what those subs can do....

They are 10s.....although I only have one right now. And, I didn't have to move the seat forward much. I sat in the seat, and adjusted it forward as much as I could and still have leg room and be comfortable. Im about 5' 10".

I guess i'll find out if it will work when I turn the amp up.
Hope it works out for ya', but.... I'd be a little worried about that 1/2" plywood.
With all the power that amp makes (that is a 750w kicker isn't it?) added to that sub = one blown apart box (if you crank it very loud).
I've seen it done before with a smaller 400w amp & a cheaper 10" sub.
3/4" MDF or particleboard is the way to go (even when space is limited) for maximum performance. Thinner materials (even with internal bracing) can flex and ultimately break apart.

That Looks sweet back in there. I had two 12 behind the seats of my regular cab before they were stolen and hated it b/c I didn't fit, atleast you can afford to move the seats up a little bit, i'm 6'7"
