Not much room back there for sure.
My sons step brother came by the other day with a single cab Nissan, and it sounded good.

He also has no space for a sub box, and I asked how he was getting all the bass.
He was using an 8" Bazooka tube. It may have been the un-amped model, as he was feeding it from a 4 channel amp, and the other two channels were pushing 6.5" speakers he had behind him in the sides.

It sounded real good.

I don't know what kind of music you listen to, but I listen to rock, bluegrass, and lots of talk radio. In my 72 Beetle and my 93 Paseo, I found a single 6.5" sub in a tube (some forgotten Punch setup) with an 80watt amp provided plenty of bass (actually turned it down a bit). I would think a single 10" in a standard cab pickup would be plenty. Just my opinion....

yeah, i have a single MTX 12 in my Runner with a 700w amp, and its plenty for me. I can hear it just fine on the highway with all the windows open. Plus, with the small cab, you won't need much, it will be practicly in your lap .

Don't know much about those amps, though I have heard of them.

Did you also look at Infinities Bass Link?
I think that is what they call it.

Here you go.

It's a self powered sub.

I know it's a bit late, but Kenwood makes a similar device that consists of a 5" or so sub with a 6.5" passive radiator. Included is a 30watt or so amp. The entire package looks smaller than the Infinity and is about $200. I found it at the same site Corey linked to for the Infinity. I may end up getting the Kenwood for my Runner.

Edited to add: The sub is a dual voice coil speaker. The amp is 30watt RMS x 2. Here's the link:

Go to www.sounddomain.com go to member pages and do a search for toyota tacomas. You'll be able to research all kinds of rides with different audio setups. That should help.

a buddy of mine has a Taco with one JBL 10" and it hit hard. there is no need to have 2 12s back there, itll take up all your space. you would prob end up turning them down anyway, so might as well stick with 1.

I had two 10" subs setup in my 1978 f-250 regular cab a while ago. I custom built the box. The bad thing is that the seat muffles out the sound so you can feel the bass but can't understand what they are saying.
