Since I purchased the truck in 2000 I wanted more stereo along with some more bass which the factory system was missing altogether. I like my Rock and Heavy Metal to sound as awesome as it was meant to be so the entire sound system was overhauled. I started with the rear bench seat and skipping over all the other details this is the focus of this posting. The rear sub and amp rack I built in 2001 with two Alpine 12" subs (to much for the cab volume) along with the upper amp rack. It's had a few different amps over the years. Back then there wasn't any pancake subs on the market and as you know the rear seat is very low to begin with. I was able to acquire the matching fabric for the top which was perfect for keeping it all hidden and stock looking at first glance.

However it is a beast making the rear seating practically useless for any extra passengers when the odd time it was necessary. So I wanted to change it up a bit by installing a single new style Pioneer 10" very thin sub with the amp mounted low in the other sub location.

After removing the amp rack the two 12" sub see daylight for the first time since installation.
