I've had two dodge crew cabs and did all the work myself. Both turned out pretty well...I'll try to dig up some pictures for you. I would be doing this on my new Tundra, but it came with the JBL audio...and sub behind the rear seat...so I'll wait till I blow those out and start over.
What kind of system are you looking to install?

I don't want something crazy. My last truck had a stereo that was way overkill. I completely gutted the interior and installed 4 racing seats with a custom wood/fiberglass console that I built myself that went from the dash to the back wall. It housed two 10's and a 15 and 2 7 inch TV's. And the amps were mounted in between the drivers and passengers chairs. It looked good but I don't want to do that again.
I'm confident I can handle the construction part, my only concern is making sure I do the calculations for the airspace properly. I'm not very good with electronics and stereos. I'll have someone else do the wiring for me.
I'm looking at the Kenwood 7" touch screen in-dash. I'm not sure what subs will fit under the rear seat of my double cab. There is only about six inches between the bottom of the seat and the floorboard.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
