Putting a system in a regular cab
I want to put a little system in my truck (reg cab), nothin crazy just a little something up from stock. Has anyone with a regular cab ever put a system in it or is it too tight of a fit?

It can be done i havent put one in a OBS truck but there should be plenty of room. Might require building a custom sub box and a sitting a little closer to the wheel. If it can be done in a ranger or f150 you can surely do it in a f250 or f350. Build the box yourself and it will work.

i had no room in my old truck for a box behind the seat. being 6'2 i dont have rom to spare. i did however get 6x9's in the rear panels from rockfrod . they were a very nice addition as were the upgrades in the doors. add a nice head unit and its a whole different truck

I HAVE A SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i got 2 10" Phoenix gold subs behind my seat with a box that i made. the box is only 3" wide at the top and right around 5" at the bottom if i remember right. i built it to try to stay to the angle of the back of the seat. i put 4x6 pioneers in my doors and i put the amp for the subs under the passenger side of the seat. its easy to do if i can do it without messing it up!!! LoL!!!

I mounted my amp and crossovers under my rear seat ,to the seat bottom,in other words upside down.I think a sub box could be made to fit under there.I am eventualy going to put one in center of front seat firing down.

coon, i think that MTX makes a box called the stealth box that is made to go under the back seat of a ford 1/2 ton supercrew. i'm not sure of the difference in the seats between the two, but it might work. i would look into it for sure.
