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...

old skool luvr Feb 24, 2011 09:12 AM

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! :icon_doh:

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?

blazinloud Feb 26, 2011 10:06 AM

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 :p

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.
