Sub box or speaker box??
For the record, I have yet to find a speaker box that has decent sound. I admit I haven't listened to any recent ones, but historically I have found the sound quality to be rather poor. If you want good sound, I would go with a good set of coaxial speakers (or better yet component speakers) in the cab, and just put in a sealed sub box behind your seat. Remember that most truck boxes have a tweeter facing upwards, and a woofer facing forward. The mid range sounds must then go through the seat, or up through the tweeter depending on the crossover. Neither are good options in my opinion.
On the other hand, the truck boxes are rather inexpensive and easy to install. Just don't expect much for sound quality. Also, The truck boxes I have seen have all been ported units, and the bass was very "rumbly", almost like the speakers were blown. If you must put full range truck speakers in your vehicle, do yourself a favor and look for a good set - it is usually true that you get what you pay for.

i have a 94 f-150 reg cab and have sub boxes behind my seat. i made my own w/ 3/4" medium density fiber board. I could only fit 8's (even though my magnets go back 6in!) If you don't think your up to making them, crutchfield (www.crutchfield.com) sells boxes that might fit, but they'd be tight.
