First post: Need help with 2002 ext. cab sub box

Hello everyone. Just found this site. It is great!

Need some help with putting in a subwoofer box in my 2002 extended cab F150. I would like to put one 10 inch subwoofer in a sealed box under the seats in the cab portion. My questions are:

1.) Are there any plans for building a custom box that fits under either section back there? The sub needs approx .65 cubic feet to work.

2.)Are people generally happy with their subbox.net boxes or aree there any reasonable custom-alternatives out there?

3.) I don't need huge spl. Just want quality sound. Will I be wanting more than just one driver? Someone with experience could persuade me to get a dual box for 2 tens.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

PS: Any opinions on this driver:

i persoanlly do not like pre-fab boxes, they are very poor quality, or at least the ones i had were. i would venture out and attempt to make ur own. as for ur sound quaility goes, i have one 12" infinity perfect and IMO it has untouchable sound quality for its size and sounds terrific in a sealed enclouse. i would try the perfect 10.1 10" sub (350RMS/1400W max) and it needs around .6 cubic feet for a sealed box so it should fit. run it off a good, clean amp around 400W rms and it will give u unbelievable sound quality and it gets quite loud when u crank it up. and u wont need to run dual 10"s, it has enough for most people. if ur overtaken by the sticker shock of crutchfield or most net companies i got mine off e-bay brand new in the box w/ full factory warrenty. if u have any questions on box buildin feel free to drop me an IM on AIM/AOL or email @ shotgun18(No Email Addresses In Posts!)
