    I have a truck, but no walk through planned...

    I did have a friend who did a blow-through though (not a walk-through... that's committment! :D)...
    Couple cheap 12's (Hollywoods... the old gen ones! :p) and some good power, that thing hit like you wouldn't believe...
    It's a great way to capitalize on your truck's tiny interior...

    Doing a walk through though, you loose that advantage.
    Less cabin gain.

    Not that that is a bad thing, from a custom truck point of view, I love walk thoughs, wish I had one, 100%!

    But if your purpose is to do one just for the sake of your system, I would consider doing the blow-through rather than the walk through, with the subs firing through the hole (the box in fact sealing up the whole for the blow-through), because you will gain big SPL with that strategy, keeping the interior tiny. ;)

    Good luck, sounds like a great plan!

    Be sure to get one of those boots, to seal the hole off from the elements, the rubber boots that clips to the metal of the cab and the bed, joining them as one.

    Otherwise, your subs will be destroyed probably pretty quickly, being subjected to the weather, mist and dirt from the road, etc..
