It's hard to say, my box is a trapezoid, so my top plane of the box is less than that JLs, but my bottom plane is deeper. What's the depth of the 10" box?
I'll try to measure my box at the height of that one and see if it's less than 5" deep. If I remember correctly, I think that JL should fit. Local stereo shop should have one to see if it'll fit. You will probably need to cut the rear wall carpet, it's easy with a razor blade, I actually cut mine with some regular scissors.

Thanks i would appreciate that. I kinda figured i may have to cut the carpet. The 10" is only 4.5" . They also make a truckwedge style which is shaped like your box but its 6"+.
Looks like it might be cutting it close with the 12. Maybe 2 10s would fit, you just have to contend with the seat mount on the floor there on the passenger side.

Don't buy dynamat
Dynamat is very expensive for the little bit of material you get. I have a very cheap alternative. Go to one of your leading home improvement stores and make your way to the roofing section. There you can buy rolls of the same material, foil on one side and black rubbery tar on the other, for $14.00 a roll. When installing it use a hair dryer to soften each piece up just before you stick it to the body of your vehicle. Now you achieve the same results at a fraction of the cost.

I would not recommend the peel and stick from home depot. It smells awful and is not meant for that usage. There are plenty of good options though that aren't dynamat. I usually check diymobileaudio.com for suggestions.

This is one of those bad internet ideas that just won''t go away.

Should I now worry about replacing the center dash speaker? The JL one is 370! Are you happy with your set up? I see you only did one sub and I was planning on doing 2 subs under my front seats since I have 2 kids that ride in the back from time to time.
Any thoughts and recommendations would be great as I listen to a lot of country and classic rock mostly!
Thanks,
David

Hi, I am in discussion with Crutchfield now about upgrading my 2018 f250 crew cab to all JL audio speakers. Not sure which amp or sub yet.

As to the center channel, I would keep it if you care about good sound for both people in the front seat. Ditch it if you are mostly solo and don't care about the passenger acoustics.
