[QUOTE="84mallcrawl, post: 580855, member: 8864"] being that you are working with a single cab truck I would start by going out to the truck and getting an idea of what depth speaker will work; subtract 1 inch from that measurement for 3/4" MDF and 1/4" air gap behind the speaker. Different brands have different mounting depths. If you are going to have amplifier powering these speakers pick one that is equal or less than the speakers RMS power rating. (always use the RMS power rating for picking all speakers, applying more power than the RMS value typically causes distortion) The type of box that you build depends on the kind of music that you listen to, [this next applies to subwoofers] rap, hip-hop, dance, techno, machine generated bass do good with a sealed box, gives the sound some boing. modern rock, classic rock, country, bass line usually comes from a guitar, usually work better with a ported box, it gives the sound a more "mellow" sound. as far as subwoofers go 1 is plenty unless you are trying to impress the local middle schoolers [/QUOTE]
