well, i got no pics with me right now, because im pretty much too lazy to take the pics and download them, but ive got a 10in rockford fosgate p2 punch sub in a q-logic box behind my seat and its hooked to a dual amp thats mounted on a felt covered board drilled through the back wall in the cab. ur deff right about the not much room though. anyways, the sub sounds great as long as u have some other speakers to cover the rest of the music. ive got 4in infinity ref's in my dash and i love my set up. not that im not always looking to add to it. thinkin about possibly boxing some 6 1/2's or 6X9's or something. ya never know. lol

I did basically the same thing with my 86, about 11 years ago when I was 19 and didn't have any bills...

I had an amp board between the seats, with two amps attached. One was for the 8" sub, which was in a truck box I bought from Crutchfield. The other went to a pair of MB Quartz 5.25 seperates I mounted in teardrop shaped MDF cutouts in the doors. The cutouts gave me the depth I needed for the larger woofer, and the tweeter made a big difference over the dash speakers. I chose not to hook those up since they wouldn't be amplified.

The size of the sub depends on how tall you are. I'm 6'1", so I couldn't get 10's. The 8 is good unless you listen to lots of rap, in which case you'll want to go bigger. Whatever you do, keep your amps cool. Not a lot of airflow back there.
