Jack,

Here is a good sub that will fit in the truck, gives a lot of low end to the sound system.
Rockford Fosgate - Punch 12" 4-Ohm Single Subwoofer With Enclosure - P3L-S12

You can find these on eBay for about 100 less than Bestbuys price. Also I would stay away from the bazooka bass tubes... I have heard quite a few of them and they have performed far worse than expected.

I run an Alpine head unit, Alpine door speakers front and rear that are fed by a Power Acoustic 1600 watt, four channel amp and then two Infinity 10" powered subs in the back.

It sounds sweet.

Ah, I see now. I might go with it anyway, and just set it up with some quick-connect type wiring so I can take it out when I need the rear seat.

Jack... Sorry i missed that you had a SC and not a crew.. but you will need an Amp with it, but I promise that it will be worlds better than a bazooka... also the options that Jim posted above are great.. all the MTX thunderform's that I have heard before have always sounded good.

This is how i have my subs set up

2 12" kenwood db+ subs in a wedge trunk box facing the rear cab wall (seats folded flat)
Kenwood 1200watt mono channel amp and 2 farad capacitor mounted on the box

The ground comes off with a single bolt
Power is single bolt and a circut breaker under the hood
Remote power is a phillips screw on amp that i tape for now but will get a switch soon

Ill get pics up when i put it in again

I have a sony explode (only manf that has red backlit display) It is actually a pretty good head unit. I have a 1000w mono amp to push 2 rockford fosgate 10's. I still have the stock door and rear speakers. and my system sounds great

My truck came with a Sony head unit, 2 amps, a pair of Kicker 12" woofers in a box behind the back seat and kicker 6" speakers in the front doors. I hated the head unit so I replaced it with the Eclipse AVN726e (ECLIPSE DVD-Video/USB Multi-Source Receiver/ 7inch Wide Screen Monitor/Navigation/ Built-in Bluetooth wireless technology AVN726E | Fujitsu Ten) and I've been pretty happy with it. I had to do a little trimming on the back side of the dash to get it to fit but nothing to the front so it looks like it belongs there. My only complaint about it is that everytime I start the truck up, I have to go to the Navigation page and tell it I Agree to the "don't use this while driving, etc." page in order for it to aquire a GPS fix and tell me what time it is. Other than that, the Bluetooth works great and the sound quality is good.

For something as irritating as that, I would be putting a gel-cel battery behind the seat to power the head unit with it being powered up all the time.
Then recharge that battery with an isolator relay that kills the connection between the vehicle's main system and the auxiliary system.
Basically the same connection as an RV battery.

I have this and it has all kinds of backlit colors to choose from. I really like the USB port on the front for my 4G flash drive.
