hey looking into some 12 inch subs for my ride and was wondering if these power Acustik 12 inch subs (https://secure.mycarjams.com/car_audio/hazel/detail/PAFUBR12) would fit behind the seat of a 2002 regular cab chevy without having to push the seat all the way forward? I was told they would fit by my local steroe shop but was alos second guessing them because I was told by some people that they do good work and some people saying they work is not good. I plane on having my pops make the speaker box since he is good with making stuff out of wood and was thinking about running 4 of those subs. I was also wondering what amp I should run with them. I am running 4 subs and would like to run either 2 or 3 amps. I was alos told tat one amp setup per sub is a good idea but would like not to spend that much money right know if I don't have too. I was also wondering where I can get the subs and amp for a good price. I have seen these subs go for like $179.95 and more but havent looked much online and was wondering if someone has sen them cheaper.

Thanks in advance for the help I love this website. Everone on here is realy eager to help out a fellowe FSC guy and I like that in a forum been to alot of them in my past cars days and no one is as helpfull as the Family at FSC.

According to this page, they are 6.75" deep:

Taking into consideration pole piece venting and 3/4" MDF, I would think that the box would have to be at least 9" deep. Can you fit a box 9" deep in a RC truck?

how much air space do they call for cuz I'm not sure you'd have room for a big enough box.

Well talked to some buddies at work and they say they won't fit because how deep of a box I will need. So they tell my to go with some JL 12W3-d4 like I originaly wanted to use. so I might have to go with them since I have limited space.

I was wondering what amp I should use I am runin a sony 1200 watt amp know but was wondering is their any good mono amps I could run to make 4 JL subs hit hard?
