    It would be super awesome if you could design me a box. I am planing on building the exact one you have from the other thread, but just chopping off the third that is for the second sub. I am planning on using a sealed box as I am not planning on pushing this thing super hard or going for the super deep tones. I am just trying to add a little bump to the truck. I am not the type to want to win any contests or bump 2 chains every where I go. I have no problem lifting the rear seat a little bit 1" or less.

    How much would it help to change the speaker wire for the doors from stock to an after market wire?

    If there is no amp on them, it won't help any. Unless you have an amp, there is no point in changing it. I would say 50 watts can be ran through the stock wire because it isn't worth changing.

    Edit: A stock radio may say 54w * 4 blah blah. In reality the speakers only see about 12w each or so which is why I say it wont help.

    Rms on my head unit is actually only like 30watts with a peak of like 45 so you are right about that for sure. I am going to consider a door speaker amp down the road as well. Right now I'm just not worried about it yet.

    I'm running 200 watts RMS per door on Rockford Fosgate 6.5" components. I have 2 runs of 12ga wire in each door. Very loud and clean. I haven't forgot about your box design, just haven't had time to sit down and play in CAD.
