Speakers location???
Hi all, I have an old F150, 1986, regular cab, it comes from factory 2 speakers installed at each door, I have installed 2 more at the rear corners, side to seat belts, but now I need a sub-woofer or at least a couple of small Bass speakers, questions are:
1º Where the Sub-woofer or bass speakers can be installed? (Behind seat there isn't room, a big tool box is installed)
2º Having in mind the passenger cab is very small, what amplifier should I use? 1 channel?, 2 channel?, 100W? 200W? more...? (my actual Sony radio is 52WX4)
Any ideas will be appreciated, thanks;

I did a pair of 12's behind the seat and a pair of Fosgate Q components with a 4 chanel crossfire amp in my 89 single cab. The amp I mounted under the pass seat and my 4 channel fed the door speakers and I bridged the other two for the subs.
There are some slim subs coming out, so you could mount them under the seats with the amp between them or mounted to the back wall. I am not sure what kind of tool box you have behind the seat, but you could build a combo tool box/sub box.
Power depends on what your speakers need, you have options that will take a some research to figure out. I usually like to run a pair of 8 ohm speakers in parallel for a 4 ohm load and an amp that bridges around 200 watts at 4 ohms place close to my sealed box.
