    What's your goal for the truck? Do you have your speakers picked out. Are you going to get a new deck as well?

    I have 2 12" audiobahn AW1200N that i removed from my other truck. They were in a wedge box behind the seat in a single cab truck. They are only about 8 months old and sound awesome so i would hate to have to give them up. Yes, i plan on buying a new deck. Can't have a great system without a new deck!!!! My opinion at least!!

    I have an '06 2500HD extended cab. My subs and amp sit in a box built for sliverados underneath my back seat. It fits great. My buddy has the same thing in his truck.

    Default It is definitely possible

    With a little imagination, trust me, you can make it work. I've done installs for people where I welded steel boxes dampened with dynamat undereath the cab. This requires cutting the floor of your truck, so be sure you are ready to deal with any associated issues. (Cab integrity, skillful welding, wires/parts to move or work around) I've seen and done some really kewl stuff to peoples trucks. If you have any questions, or would like advice from someone with experience, just shoot me an email. I plan to drop 2 12 Rockford Fosgates in my extended cab Silverado. Hopefully soon. I'll be sure to get pics when I do.

    the only box i know that fits in that model is for two 10's. i have the box for the two 10's and the only subs of any quality i could find that would fit were the audiobahn 10 dub series. the mount depth is like 4 3/4s.

    here is what i have
    06 silverado crew 1500
    jvc avx-1 dvd player w 3inch built in screen
    3 ma audio xl 12's in a 1.50 cube per sub box
    ma audio 401 sx 1800 watt amp
    i have the amp mounted to the sub box with 0 gauge wire ran from the battery. i have this setup to where i can remove it in about 10 mins if i need the extra room.

    then i have the 2 10 box under the seat with 2 audiobahn dub series 10's and a soundstorm 900.2 running them.

    i also have a 3rd setup i run. i have a probox wedge box the super bass series box with one ma audio xl 12 and i hook it up to the 900.2 soundstorm. i have this option with the box in the seat on the driver side so i still have the passenger side rear seat open but since i have the 10's under the seat it is a two min switch and remove the 12.



    on the radio option u have it really comes down to what you like and can afford.

    I have two 12" pioneer subs sitting in the box under my rear seat. The amp is mounted to the box between the subs. overall, there is about a 2 inch clearence between the speakers and the seat.
