To remove the bracket it is best to either cut it out with an airsaw or plasma torch, this way it can easily be spot welded back into place.

Fatdaddyjoe, it seems that you have some mixed up responses up there, but someone was on the right track. You do not necessarily have to have an Alpine amp but if that is what you want, great let's help you find one. You have three different wiring scenarios for your subs.

(1) All parallel = 1ohm mono - a class D mono sub amp tha produce about 600watts rms at 1 ohm mono.

(2) 2ohm stereo - any 2 channel amp that produces 300watts rms at 2ohm stereo. Wire each sub in parallel to make it a 2ohm sub

(3) series / parallel - any 2 channel amp that bridges to 4ohm mono and produces 600w rms. Wire each sub in series - makes it an 8ohm sub, wire the two subs together in parallel, this creates a 4ohm mono load.

Now you have 3 different ways to hook your subs up to an amp and a whole pile of options on amplifiers that you can purchase.

those wiring optiopns are a great help thank you very much..as far as the jack situation i cut it out with a grinder but basically destroyed it to get it out...i plan on putting a small floor jack in the bed for a jack...i think i will go with a 2 channel amp that is 300 watts rms @ 2 ohms..is that the biggest i can go and is that 300 watts per channel? thanks again
the louder the better !!!!!!

something that i learned about the jacks from experience. it does no good to have a jack of any type in the vehicle when you do not have a spare tire.

But while we are talking about S10's and the boxes, has anybody had the metal work done to "extend" the cab to the bed. the protion of the cab that is under the window that matches up to the bed.
