You can definitely do that or more but they won’t be hidden. An enclosure for a single 10 or possibly 12 is all the room there is behind the rear panel. The Thunderform uses all the available space and the volume was just enough for my JL 10W3.

Sorry. Quoted the wrong response. But in general terms, any time anyone asks: is it enough, and especially when discussing vehicles, firearms, explosives, beer, BBQ, and the list goes on... the correct answer is ALWAYS: No.

I don't mind losing some vertical space even if it slightly obstructs the rear windows. Maybe an inch or 2 of width as well something like this is nice. Maybe something similar on the other side.
The other side is already full. Unless you want to do a rear heater/ac delete. Pull the panels off both sides and you’ll see there isn’t as much room as you would think. There’s wheel wells. The passenger side has pretty much nothing.

Oh yeah I totally agree. Already been looking for a used procharger kit or t6 turbo setup. The 6.0 needs some more top end. However when it comes to audio I know I will be satisfied with 2 12"s. Most of the time I'm listening to rock and country which don't require king kong in the trunk.

I did take both covers off and that's when I decided it was time for help from a pro lol. I'm excited to see what ideas they have. They are a well known shop that used to build competitive audio setups.

Maybe I should pull some stock enclosures next time I'm at the salvage yard.

So the audio plan has gotten out of control a little but I have the same recipe in my other truck so I know I will be happy.
JL audio C2s front and rear
Single JL12W3 In a custom sleek box built into the factory bose location
All powered by a RD/900 amp
Controlled by a Kenwood 906S head unit
With back up and dash camera
Full sound deadening

Sounds like a good plan. I take it you don’t use Apple products since I see the Kenwood has wireless Android Auto but not wireless CarPlay. I love not having to pull my iPhone from my pocket.

Yeah I'm not an apple guy, just never got into them I guess. I have a 4 year old galaxy S7 that I hope lasts another year or two. I'm super excited to try the android auto! I'm not super tech savvy but I've been told that android auto is so easy a caveman can do it.
CarPlay is super easy too. I don’t understand why Kenwood would have wireless for one and not the other. My Pioneer does both.

According to Crutchfield the 906s does both wirelessly as well as have 3 cameras which I am stoked to have a forward facing dash cam.
You’re right, that’s weird that the first site showed it has only wireless android.

The replacement HD grill came in and it's broken just as bad. It literally showed up in a giant box by itself and a thin layer of plastic around it. So it must be bouncing around in the box which is what's causing the center chrome bar to break. Tahoes getting dropped off at the audio shop tomorrow afternoon hopefully I'll have it back by Friday. And maybe a new grill will be here by then.
Sucks
Not the way to ship it apparently. Bastages

Do you have to send it back? For a freebie--it's fixable.

Nope just finished talking to them again. I'm going to glue it up the best I can and have the shop that's doing the audio stuff throw it on since they will also be doing paint matched handles while they are in the doors. Carparts.com is very sorry for my inconvenience and they will be sending me another grille in 3-5 business day. I do not have to return the the broken one. Still pisses me off because my trash can Isn't big enough for their giant boxes so now I'll have to load up another box and take it to a dumpster lol.

A little plastic weld, some bondo then paint to match. Or just a little plastic weld behind the chrome. I bet it wouldn't even be that noticeable--to anyone but you lol.

I feel like the chrome will end up chipping around the crack. But its what I've got for now so I will probably fix it up the best I can and cross my fingers the third one will be good. Hopefully by the end of the week I can drown my sorrows with loud music lol.
