2000 reg cab sub box info

Hello 2 all, so I'm new to the forms and just got my son a 2000 tacoma reg cab 1st gen 5 lug. My son is 14 and will be driving soon so I wanted something we could work on till he is driving. The owner gave me a lot of audio stuff he took out of the truck before selling, he gave me everything. I'm so lost helping my son getting this back in but after laying it all out we did manage to get this all back in...can't believe he has so much for a 2 door truck but it is what it is...after looking online at what I have each part has s place for what and why....I'm at the point now where we need a box for behind the seat...the owner had a jl w7 in a ported box sitting on the passenger side seat...sounds great but that will not work for me...

My goal is to keep the w7 JL but after looking online I don't think this 8 inch sub will work...any help would be great.

Setup is skar 6.5 door speakers, 4 tweets, ztreet 5000 Orion 2 channel, boss marine 4 channel 1200, 1 cap, mmats EQ7, EPICENTER and a 8 inch w7 in a ported box.

It's all back in and working at the moment, 1 week later Wtf

 

Ditch the capacitor, that’s for sure. And wherever the sub ends up going, make sure it is either bolted down (not screwed) or held down tight with a ratchet strap or something. I’ve seen wrecks where the subwoofer is what killed someone in the car because it flew up from the back and that 40+ pound box flying at 70mph is no joke

 

Ok a good tip I was not thinking about.

 

Who doesn't love an upfront sub? Not exactly practical though and you aren't gonna get a W7 behind the seat. Gonna have to use something slimmer. You can get good bass out of the doors too if you're willing to put in the work. I'll elaborate if you want to hear it, but it'll take a couple days and some tedious work to get it there.

+1 for losing the cap.

Not sure if you're set on keeping all that gear, but if you are, at least make sure it's all properly fused. One fuse (larger than the sum of what both amps could need and in a protected enclosure) as close to the battery as possible, then fused again at the amps. The fuse under the hood is to protect the cable run from starting a fire in an accident scenario. The others are to protect the amps. The underhood fuse is critical. You can oversize it as this one is here to protect against short circuit along that run, however do not oversize the amp fuses. Wire nuts are not the best solution in a mobile environment either.

In a more perfect world I'd use a single 600x6 or so, bridge 4 of those channels to some capable midwoofers in sealed doors & go for a powerful 2-way. That would eliminate the sub and retain storage behind the seat, as you have so little already.
