Looks like a pretty straightforward build, what sub and amp you planning on running?

Im in that stage for my truck too. I think im going to make a box for 2 10" or 12" kicker cvts and remove the corner speaker brackets and put the 4x10s on the box make it run across the back and mount the bass amp right in the middle.

Heres the layout of the box I built out of 3/4 mdf for the Kiowa.

The way I designed it the sides extend out further so the seat holds the box in place without riding directly on any of the components and allows for the drivers to have room to produce optimal sound.
