Im thinking about doing this and have some ideas but want to see what you guys have done. Im also putting a seat in the bed of my truck. Any body have any pics?

Are you referring to a blow through design, or are you talking a system for the people in the bed of the truck to listen to?

Ditto^^

If your looking for a system for the people in the cab i would think about transfering your gas tank to the back and putting a system behind your seat, if thats what you talking about, befcause subs in the bed sound horrible. Bu8t if its for the people in the back thats a different story

I think in California you cannot just bolt seats in the bed of a truck and be legal, could be wrong though. Are you thinking something kind of like the Suburu Brat?

O sorry what i ment is a system for the people in the back and when im working outside i can turn it up an listen to it and things like that. The way i understand it in South Dakota as long as the seat it bolted down an theres seat belts its considered leagal, ive seen seats in the back of trucks around here before but not a sound system. Im not looking for subs or anything just a good sound system but all pics are great. I have speakers in the truck now but im not sure what im going to do in there yet.
Thanks

I know you asked to see pics of ones done, but given how uncommon a seat is in the bed, you may be the first to do this. On setting up the system, if you are only running 1 set of speakers in the cab, you could put those on the front channel of the system and run speaker wire to bed and use those on the rear channel. This way, you can adjust the fader to "turn on" the speakers in the bed when needed. I would suggest some marine grade speakers back there, on top of making sure they are out of the weather.

Good luck!

Thats a good idea on hooking up the speakers like that! I cant find any people that have done this before either . I also thought the marine speakers would be safer too and last longer.
Thanks for the info
