you have no other choice but to install small sub in small space. If
you go for big sub putting in the bed, the music will not come to your
ear.

I just put two kicker L7 eights in a 2003 ranger regular cab. One person
i know for sure that can make an enclosure. You. It's not tough. Here's
a decent guide to get you started.

Just figure out how much cubit feet you're working with. The way mine
is set up, i started with about 12.4 cu/f for one and 16.5 for the
other. Then just plug your numbers into the equations on that site.
Will even figure out SPL, airspace, you name it. Figure out which subs
you're going to use, look on the manufacturer website for exact
dimensions, subtract that and you're in good shape.
