No. Bandpass boxes ALWAYS sound like shiite. 5kW? On a bandpass enclosure? If that box is not built EXACTLY right, and I do mean E-X-A-C-T-L-Y right - we're talking gnat's asp, here - those woofers are going to last about 10 minutes.
Can those woofers even GO in a bandpass? Not all woofers will do well in that type of enclosure. If dead set on such a beast, choose a cheap woofer with next to no SQ, (think Audiobahn - cheap, and a POS, so you can replace them weekly if necessary) because there won't be any left of even a GOOD woofer once you dump it into any kind of bandpass box.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I think you (or your "customer"?) need to decide what they want...
Loud? Go with the bandpass. It'll be loud alright, loud, one-note wonder, and flabby. It will give you the small cab entrance option, however.
Sound quality? 1 woofer, inside the cab, with a proper enclosure volume, under the seat, and adequate power driving it.
In the case of a full-size truck, your options are a bit more limited, especially if 1: the seats can't go anywhere, or B: the customer WONT cut a hole. It's tough to get both and close to impossible to get REALLY loud, like I am assuming you are wanting with two 15's and 5kW... How close am I?

well i have the bed to build a box,but i only have roughly a 10'x10' hole to carry the sound through,i have the subs and  the power ,i just cant figure out what box i can use and how build the box (bandpass)and run the port inside or make a sealed boxbut kinda downsize the blowthrough port kinda hard to put into words(not make a blowthrough just minimize the size of the hole as if it was a blowthrough.and( vented) i dont really want to , they dont call for ported so any ideas?

If they are a sealed recommendation, you won't be able to put them into a bandpass. End of story. They will destroy themselves, and sound HORRIFIC while doing it!
You are going to have to choose different woofers.
