Any suggestions as to what anyone has put into their truck and if they
like it, don't like it, where they put it, where they wish they would
have put it.....
I know someone with a Dodge Hemi, and the system is really nice, nice
tight bass.....and needless to say, I want a better system.
Will try and find out what he has in his.
Any suggestions and/or pics would be great.

Well there's A LOT more factors to consider.
What music you listen to, how loud do you want it to be, how much space you're willing to give up, how much you're willing to spend.
Memphis M-class subs offer a good all around sound. Illusion Audio is great if you don't want to use that much space for subs. There are A LOT of companies out there, some better than others, and that change depending upon which model you get.

Yeah, I kind of figured that. I was thinking about getting an
enclose for the subs that fits under the back seats, I have a Titan
Crew Cab, and then putting the amp under one of the front seats.
Does anyone have a link to the Factory Service Manual? I had one
for my old 1990 GMC and it was full of diagrams for how to take things
apart, and the easiest ways to splice into existing wire.
As for my music requests, I would say Seether, Godsmak, Nickleback and
others like that. However, I like good tight bass without the
need for listening to it so loud that it distorts, or that people
outside of the vehicle, with the windows up, can hear it. I am
thinking a new head unit, one sub, one amp, and 2 new rear
speakers...would like to stay less than $800 though....we'll see.

Memphis M-Class has been used before in the Titan. I have 4 in my Frontier, and it still has tight punchy bass.
A D-Class amp would be your best bet. They don't have as great power ratings as the ABs. But they do filter 10 times better, which will keep your bass from distorting.
1 Memphis M-Class 10" is around $110ish. A MCD500 amp is around $450.

I went through a lot crap trying to fit in a 10in sub under the rear seats of my truck. I went with a closed 10 inch solo b because it required the least amount of air out of the speakers i liked. well, its really tight bass and not the booming bass i was acustomed to in the past. you can also fit most amps behind the back seat..

i currently have 2 soundstream 12's in m truck. they sound really good but i plan on changing them out and putting 4 10's in it instead. you can easily put the amps behind the seat on the wall or you can get a little fancier and make an amp rack then mount it on the rear wall. i am going to try to put audiobahn 10's but i will have to do some more measuring.

Audiobahn???? Obviously SQ is not on top of your list. While AB is decent, and they give great booming bass ,for about 6 months, you can find much better out there. Plus their SQ is horrible.

perhaps you have a kingcab so you can fit the two twelves under the seat. i have a crew cab and fitting the subs under the seat was a pain in the ass. thus, the reason for going with solo b's which require little air space..

audiobahn is not the best stuff that is out there but they ar far from the worst when it comes to sound qaulity. And about the 6 months thing, well thats not true. I have had the same stuff in my boat for 2 years. And i use the crap out of it during season. they sound the same now as when i put it all in the boat.
