hey I was wandering how many 355 single cab members have sound systems? if there is a way you can put pics on here, so I can see some different design. what is the biggest measurements to build a box. I want to build a box that takes the whole space in my single cab. what I came up with is 53'' length x20'' tall x10'' width. cuz I want to put two JL w1v2 13.5 4ohm with those measurements it will fix if I need to cut the width to 8'' I can. just want to see different designs.

I'm running two Rockford Fosgate Prime 10" with a 300w Kicker Amp. I have the subs facing the rear of the truck. I'm between 6' and 6'1" depending on the day and have plenty of room still.

No problem. Thanks, I built the shelf and amp rack out of scrap wood from work lol.

There's people that say it sounds better because it gives the sound a chance to bounce off the back wall and fill the cab better, but I did it for fitment. With it faced the other way, I couldn't put my seat far back enough and I was practically eating the steering wheel.

I have had 2 different systems in my truck...

The original was 2 12" kenwood subs and went all the way across the back. It was an angled face box ~18" tall, 11" bottom and 4" top.

Second system was a single 12" CompVR in the same type of box but it didnt stretch all the way across the back. It was 18" tall, 13" bottom and 5" top. This box was designed to allow me to lean my seat back and have more room in general but was still too big once I put in H3 seats. So warning, if you want to do something like this, measure your length carefully.

Here are pics:

Box 1 specs I mocked up before building it:

Box 2 (couldn't find specs image):

I removed the 2nd system and this is the new box with console I am working on with the same stuff from it:

most of you have already seen this but since it was asked....... 2 clarion 12's in r/t boxes, clarion amps bolted right to the back plastic. didnt have to remove my stock jack but its a dummy. thats the new location for the distrubution point for led and neon wiring. seat goes back the whole way even with those grills. i did have to use a spacer so the subs would fit depth wise in those boxes.
