sub woofer
 
OK, Im at the point of up grading the stereo in the truck and I'm thinking of installing a sub.
I could mount one behind the seat where the gas tank was or under the seat.
Any ideas?
Pictures would be appreciated.

If you leanback folded forward it might depend on if you want that area for storage.

I've got a box about the same width as the behind the seat gas tank in mine with a 6x9 in each end in enclosed boxes and the middle is open on the top for storage but the seat in in it now is out of a 4 door and doesn't fold. When we had the 66 Toronado seat in it,we put a lot of stuff back there and my wife would stash her purse back there.

It's how wild you want to getwith the sound system and how creative you are.

I used a Rockville RW10CA 10" under the seat. It handles 800 Watts & it’s low profile.

hey mobileortho: I like the idea of a thin unit like you have. does it require an amp or is there one built in?
Ok, dumb question. Should have looked before I asked. Yes It does have a built in amp.

Yes, it does. I got it because it doesn’t take up too much room and it has a nice sound quality.

That's a slick unit and isn't too spendy either when you factor in that it has a built in amp.

you still need a head unit with pre-outs and a remote wire to turn on the amp. imo you need a head unit with power or another amp to drive your mid-range and tweeters. i listen to mp3s on a flash drive pretty much 100% of the time anymore in the 58truk. there are some pretty compact head units now that the cd has been eliminated.

i did 2 10" shallow mount pioneer subs behind seat. my first time trying to do a kerf on a sheet of wood. worked well to follow curve of back of cab. you could do subs underseat as well.
