First I would go to www.crutchfield.com to see what would fit in the doors. They have a very nice fitting process that will give you an idea what you can do. Then I would fabricate a box to go behind the seat to hold the amp and sub. In a regular cab pickup you can really get some bump.

Working in a small space like a std cab, When it comes time to build an enclosure, think "fiberglass".

Glassing around odd-shaped panels and uneven floors will let you get more internal volume vs truck space used instead of using flat pieces of MDF. I would still use MDF for the panel the speakers mount into.

Techiques for glassing cabinets inside vehicles are available in many places on the net, its easy to do.
