Default Regular cab subwoofer-any such thing?

Can anyone tell me if there is a company that makes "good" subwoofer boxes for a regular cab chevy. By good i mean boxes that are not just a sealed box like you could get from walmart or circuit city. Everyone i know that doesnt have a chevy has a stinkin down-fire sub box in there reg cab truck. So far i cant seem to find anything like that for the chevy. Any help would be great.

Tib,

Thats a hell of a box. I wonder if they are as expensive as JL's Stealthboxes are. Im gonna end up building my own box for a single 12. Set it up so I can mount my amp, satellite tuner and crossovers on it.

I was going to go with a probox box before I got my setup. I think it looks like a decent setup

Probox makes a decent box.

Buy the box before you buy the subs to ensure they wont be too deep. Some of the Probox enclosures can be fairly shallow and if you buy some crappy Audiobahn 10' deep sub it wont fit.

Some good decently shallow higher wattage subs are the Diamond Audio M612's they handle 500w RMS and play just about any music well. I have 2 in my T/A with 600w rms going to each one and they hit hard and tight if not super deep.

I built a custom box for 4 10s in the back of my EX's 03' regular cab and it sounds ok but I think 2 12s would have been better.

Ohh, and downfireing is better than having a sub point at your back when it is so close.

Hahahaha sweet!

I'd be worried about the cooling of those amps though. Looks like the cover panel is covering the vents.

If you look close you can see the PPIs vents are on each end of the amp and right in the middle of the arch. Also the front panel is a face that goes onto the box itself and there is a space behind the panel too. Still sticks out, but yea that will be something on my mind.

You can see it in this pic:

How does a downfire box fit in a reg cab?
