Regular Cab Truck under seat enclosure

i just picked up a 95 chev 1/2 ton and ive seen lot of people with sub enclosures under the back seat of and extended cab but absolutly nothing for under the seat for a regular cab. you would think it would be almost close to the same thing right? has anyone done it and able to post pics or have any useful info. right now i have 2 10" MTX 4500's that require way too much room i think so will have to either get some subs that require less volume or go with one big sub and a box that goes under the whole bench seat.

dimensions:
- the whole lenght of the bench on the inside of the metal rails is about 50"
- the width from back to frnt is about 15"
- the height where the drive and the passenger sit is 8"
- the height in the middle where the tranny is under the arm rest is 4"
- the width of the tranny hump is 18"

these are pretty rought numbers i will be able to be more precise once i make up my mind on what im doing and get all the equipment then take the seat out

ok so ive had time to punch in some numbers and do some math and figured out my have volume with those dimensions will give me about 2.1 cubic feet.

my options are:
1) i have 2 10" MTX 4500 subs that requires 1.5 sealed or 2.9 ported
2) able to get 2 new 8" MTX 5500 that needs 1.0 sealed or 1.56 ported
3) only go with 1 beefy 10" that needs 1.5 port

wow, shallow mount!! lol..
Id do 2 8's just because small area, easy to get loud and I have had some pretty mean 8" subs!!
As for the single 10" wouldn't it be firing into your butt then?

on antoher Side note, wouldn't you have more room behind your seats?(truck style box)

ya i love 8" subs so i have been thinking of maybe going that route, i have 4 of the 8" 1508's in my car and i love it. i have another truck that i did that to and last summer i built a box between the bucket seats and forgot how much i missed the room behind the seats. this truck is a bench so thats where i got the idea to go under the seat and down fire them too the floor or with and 8" it could be possible to fire them forward or rear
