It only matters if it's critical, such as comparing them or something.

Generally, people call everything cars and even refer to SUV's as trucks...

 

but true SUV's are trucks (full frame under it).

why do you think so many vehicles that are that style are now called cross-over's?


anyways, we've really strayed from the OP, so lets just put that debate to bed now.

i don't even remember who the OP was off the top off my head!

 

for further clarity, my steering wheel in my 98 jimmy says in big bold letters

"GMC Truck"

I call it "my truck" all the time

 

To further complicate things, by old skool's theory, the 64 Chevelle I use to have was a truck?

 

i think hes refering to the difference between crossovers and true suv's

he didnt say everything with a full frame was a truck, dont try twist words around

 

I actually said that tongue in cheek, but I guess it didn't come out that way.

Seriously, I have considered looking at options for mounting a sub either under the "bed" or in the tailgate. I have one week to decide.

 

Go for some shallow mount subs in the tail gait (what vehicle do you have exactly?)

There is about 4 inches of room I would say between the exterior and the interior end to end on the tail gate thing.

They will stick out a little bit, but it should really help your cargo room.

I doubt they will sound good at all though.

Go for sealed as they will require less room for the box

 

you can actually mold in subs into a tail gate and have them sound really good. if you remove the inner skin, you open up to a lot of space behind it. the only problem you'll have is trying to seal up the leaks. i would love to try this but don't have the money to throw at it

 

i like the conventional sub box (ported and not a bandpass for me please) then, just tint the windows in the back, blacker than black type of black. if you have a 2 door you might as well paint them black anyway because you cant even see out of them when they arent tinted!

 

i've looked into doing this on a 1st gen.

ideally, you need to cut out the inner skin and build boxes to mount in the TG. since you have all of the latch rods & window solinoid in there, you need to make them shallow enough so they won't interfere with anything.

and seriously, if you're gonna do such a custom install, why would you cover it back up with the stock interior panel.
