get yourself a box calculator program like winIsd or bass box pro, or go to rockfordfosgate.com or reaudio.com and use their box maker. Then put in the specs for the JL subs, including recommended airspace, thenadjust to fit in your truck

JL is most definately not the best out there. There are a boatload of other companies that have better products at much better prices. Just off the top of my head: RE, TC, DD, DC, Fi, and a few others...
