well. i am yanking my hair out trying to put together a monster of a stereo in my ext. cab taco. i ripped out the stock tape/cd player (2 din) and put in a kenwood eXcelon 915 and a pocket to fill the extra din. i then installed 2 sets of pioneer premier ts-c603 6.5" components speakers (front and back). they are the best 6.5" pioneers on the market. now to the problem... SUBS!!! there is no practical way to put a good sub box in the ext. cab. unless you wanted to not be able to have any use at all for the extended cab. i have thought about truck boxes but i don't know about that either. any suggestions? also, where is a good place to mount amps?

I have that exact same problem. I have two JL Audio 12w3 subwoofers and their too big for the truck in a regular box. They fit in the extended cab, but they're too big for the ledge. I had to prop up the box with a piece of wood so the box wouldn't tip over when I stopped. This works, but not very well. I'm also running three amps, so two are on the floor behind each seat and one is on the box. I plan on having a custom box done, but I'm going to run three 10w3 subs instead of the 12's. The box will fit the ledge and be bolted to the truck so it won't move. Then, a shelf will be built above it to mount all my amps and my crossover. Oh, by the way, this is my total system right now: Eclipse 6-disc in dash changer, Memphis Audio 3-way crossover, Sony Mobile ES 100x2 at 1 ohm for the subs, Sony Mobile ES 60x2 for rear door speakers, Sony Mobile ES 50x4 bridged at 100x2 for the front door speakers, MB Quart 6 1/2" component speakers in the front and back, Stinger Bullet series rca cables, two Stinger one farad capacitors, and a Viper Alarm. Right now, the subs pretty much take up all the room in the ext. cab. When I have all the custom stuff done, I'll be able to free up a little room on both sides of the box on the ledge and the floor. The only real way to save any space is to have something custom done. I've seen pics of an install where a guy built everything within a bench seat. He lifted the bench up and everyting was inside. Also, he had equipment built into the rear pad on the wall of the cab. That lifted up, and there was stuff in there. When he closed both, you couldn't tell anything was there and all the space was still there. I hope some of this info helps. <br>Rich
