You should also consider the amount of airspace the sub wants. I made one to fit behind the seat, but it ended up about half the airspace needed for the subs, so it sounded like crap

As far as needing dimensions for a box behind the seat, just go out and measure it. I built one for my last truck (1990 Chevy half ton), and made a template out of cardboard first to see if what I measured would indeed fit. If you're putting a sub in, make sure to check what airspace your box will have like Fordguy said. The whole process took me a weekend from start to finish, and the result was amazing. Let me know if you have any specific questions about it.

WOW! Some of you guys appear to have more in your sound systems than I do in my whole truck! Anyway, pictures in my gallery show my powered subwoofer in the back (left to right) with 2 6" in it. I use this plus 6 1/2" in the doors, and crossoevers for 2 dome tweeters on the dash. I have never had a problem making my CDs loud enough or clear enough and the bass can shake your teeth. I just can't justify spending thousands in sound system for the truck... Cause I can't afford it ! Good luck!
