8's aren't gonna give you alot of thump but will sound nice depending on
the music your listening to. I have a standard cab 97 so what i'm in the
process of doing is putting dynomat on the rear cab wall. putting
plywood behind the carpet of the rear cab walls, mounting my amp to
that. I put a smooth side ( no windows on the side)cap on the back
sealing the windows and dropping 2 JL audio 12's in a bandpass box in
the bed. It should thump nicely. Them when i get an amp for the
Infinity's im thinking about mounting the cross over on the air rest in
the middle that folds down for easy access while driving. What do you
think.
