[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8867874, member: 689267"] Always check at the hardware store, they likely carry or may have a half sheet available, always good to ask. As for four 10's, or upgraded 12s or 15's. Four 10s give you aprx 314 sq inches of cone area, two 12s, 226 sq in and two 15s give you 353 sq inches, roughly. A similar ported box for four of those shallow mount 10s would need about a 4.75 cubic foot box, sealed 3.08 (stuffed with 3 lbs of acusta-stuff or long fiber wool) and that box would work, sealed for four 10's. 15s are going to be impractical in that truck. Multiple drivers will take more power, something you may want with the current configuration too. Sealed boxes are a bit quieter than ported ones too. I would start with amplification first, then when you have a more powerful amplifier, a change in the speakers would be advantageous. There are some really nice shallows that would work in that box too. 4 of these 11" Si's would work in a sealed/stuffed, heavily braced 2.4 cu ft box and be able to handle 2000 watts of power, enough to interrupt your heartbeat! You will also pay to play with the likes of SI shallows. JL makes some nice shallows too. Several companies do.
