Hey c00n-
Check this one out. They are a little confused on their truck models, but I think that you install a kit to raise the rear seat and this goes under it.

I found a box on ebay and was able to fit a 12" Fosgate behind the pass seat with the amp mounted on a board behind the drivers seat. I replaced the rears with pioneer 6x8s and put Boston seperates in the front. There is plenty of highs, mids and bass. I think that 2 10's might sound better than the 12" though. There is not a lot of volume in the regular cabs.

LoL!!!

At first the box didn't fit especially well, I had to move the seat forward a couple of inches, and that wasn't very comfortable. I ended up cutting a notch across the bottom of the box which fit the small shelf above the floor of the cab. With the box notched, I was able to move the seat back far enough to be comfortable. The box held two 10" JL Audio subs. I ran the 5x7 (or whatever the size is in the pillars near the seat belt assemblies) Sony 2 ways, and Sony 6 1/2" round speakers in the doors. I used adhesive sound deadening on the sheet metal around the speakers, which made a big difference in sound while reducing road noise from my mud tires.

Just a suggestion.
I have thought about removing the panels on each side of the rear seat in my ext. cab and cutting the sheet metal to fit subs that don't require a box. I know they don't sound as good but there is alot of unused room behind that panel.

I put a Bazooka (6" subwoofer) that has a built in 100 watt amp. I too have a regular cab and it fits perfect behind the middle seat and ROCKS!! Im very happy with it and it doesnt dig into leg room but provides full sound. I got it from Crutzfelds(sp) for like $143.00 or something close to that.
