MTX thunderforms are supposed to sound damn good in our trucks, according to my audio dude. I almost went that way and decided to build a custom box, based on their and drop in 2 JL's...very nice! Good luck, they are a bit pricey, but still cheaper than JL stealth, plus you can get them powered..I think!

i've had mine for 3 years now. i like it. kind of expensive but i was able to get a deal. i bought the unloaded one, that means without the subs and amp. i payed $180 for it. luckily my brother worked at circuit shity so i got a discount. it would of cost $70-80 more w/o the discount. loaded with the subs i think it is around $360. not sure what it is going for know. i put 2 1000W RMS MTX subs in there. now i have a 1000W mono amp with a 1.0 cap
hooked up to it which is not shown in the pics. i blew that amp in the pics. think i pinch a ground wire by accident. as for sound, it won't blow your doors off. people inside their houses won't hear ya either. it doesn't have much volume to work with. i like it though. puts enough bass into your music to make it sound better than stock speakers. when my amp blew, i really hated listening to music because i really missed the good sound of bass with my music. i drove alot with the radio off. you could custom make your own box for alot cheaper with MDF board or whatever they use now. but it probably won't sound to good if you do it yourself. need to have acoustic dimension scorrect. i think. now i am just talking out of my a$$. but anyway, the best part is you can still have alot of leg room in the back and keep all your factory jack stuff in place too

Yeah, that's how I built mine..same concept anyway, but not as pretty. However, I found some carpet that damn near matches my grey insides and it looks like part of the truck under the seats! Circuit Shity...I like that!!!!

"circuit shity", i'll give my brother credit for that one. they screwed him, so he is not too happy with that place.
