Hmm your budget seems pretty low, if you want 2 subs and you want them to go loud, you might have to pay the price!

Check out the Image Dynamics

alrite well forget about the budget. but subs arent going to cost that much since i cant get real big subs. i want to spend the most on the subs and amp. i would like real good quality subs though.

ya image subs are awesome but iv only heard the idmax.does anybody have experience with there smaller subs.

i would say get rid of the bench seat.. if thats what it is and take out the center seat/console and just make a box for right there. then you are not limited to box space or ar volume. but then again this is more spending then you might want to not do.

not much room at all in those trucks you are spend more money than $1200 to get any kind of bass in there. If you dont want to loose the bench you could get a custom box that goes in the box of your truck and is ported into the cab behind the seats. I have seen them before but they are usualy $1000 just for the box unless you can do it your self. This would be the best option for you in my opinion, they look trick and you can put any sub you want in there with as much air space you want.

the size of the sub between the seats is determind by the space between the seats. 1 10 would most likely be for sure, but a 12 would be ifft, unless you mounted them at an angle either facing more towards the drivers or passengers side. if you really want to feel the boom a larger box is way mopre benificial then a smaller one.
its hard to get alot of boom out of like 1-1.2 cf between 2 subs, especially when all they have to fire into really is either the seat itself or the backside of the cabin.
