    I just checked out that page - that looks great! I am going to try to find something more local to Indiana, but if I am in the area, I might have to pay them a visit!

    I have a set of these in the box. For the right price, they could be yours.

    So I am making changes on the box that I posted drawings of. In talking with my buddy for the sound I want, I am going to do basincally the same design, but rather than (4) 8" we are going to mold the fiberglass on the bottom to allow for (2) JL 10W0's downfiring using my Memphis amp, and I am getting a 4 channel soundstream for my mids and highs. Becides the back seat not being factory, you wont be able to see that there are subs in the cab. I will see if I can modify the drawing for a better representation.

    I just wanted to throw in my experience for those guys with the JBL system in the truck. I have an 2009 Tacoma with the stock Subwoofer. I had to remove the sub because I installed an ARB fridge and have been looking to replace it with an aftermaket sub. I found that if you install a sub and its not in the center of the rear of the truck the access cab had major vibration issues. I tried a 10" then had to go down to an 8" due to the vibes. I have now found that I am going to do a single 8" or 2 6" due to air space available with the fridge. I am sure guys without one would be able to go larger. I was thinking of doing 2 6";s under the seats, any thoughts from you stereo guru's?

    I could barely fit my amp under my seat let alone (2) 6" subs. Your best bet if you want it under the seat is and all in one unit.

    I had the issues with the sounds from the sub and also with the windows and doors. The local sound shop said it was due to the lack of adequate air space and suggested smaller subs. When we put in a single 8" the only time I had door or window vibes was at max volume.

    I was going to do 1 6" under each seat and put the amp in the storage area for the 09 putting it under my fridge in the back. I was not sure how they would fit but I heard kicker made a slim line series that are suposed to be UBER tiny

    You can still get to the storage under the seat but it is fairly tough to lift the seat and open the compartment. Not a big deal to me. I only store emergency supplies under them.

    X2 Basslink is plenty to fill the frequency range without over taking it with too much. And the cars next to me are not forced to listen to my music. Just enough and best part is nothing ahs to be modified in the truck. Just run a kit from the batter and thr remote and sub outs from the HU and its good to go. Mine is on the floor behind the driver seat. Passive radiator forward.
