My nephew just bought a 2005 Chevy regular cab. He would like a sound system in it. He is on a limited budget like most high school students.
Surprisingly, I don't have many woofers that would work well in a small sealed box. In my current stash these buyout 4x6 might be the best option.
1 cf is the max we can fit.
What are your thoughts? Is this a lost cause? Should I just buy a GRS subwoofer?

That could be interesting , I have had good luck with low profile subs also.
The 8" HE GRS would be just fine, and not sure exactly how tight his budget is but it is only $50.
For that matter the cheap 8" poly will work well in one sealed cubic foot.
Two of these sounded pretty good in a friends grand cherokee .

This might work.

All are good suggestions above.
If going with the 4x6 pair, oppose them.

Uncle Ken should gift said nephew with something special![;) ;)](https://diy.midwestaudio.club/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/wink.png)
Just got back from vacation my fun money is gone for a little while. He will need to be happy with my leftovers. Thankfully I do have a set of coax door speakers and a few amplifiers. As long as he can get himself a head unit and a Amp kit he should be all set.
Let me look , I might have a mono amp for the kid. Rockford I think ????
Might have a amp kit in the shed too, Ill look, you guys pay shipping if I find it . Chevy trucks in high school was my jam .
Found you a sub , has a big ass end like big bootie judy if it will fit . Amp is a Rockford mono.

everything worked when parked
Wow! That is a generous offer. I have an amplifier already and the MTX 5500 has been a solid performer for decades but its too deep for a truck box.
I do have a pair of sd215a-88. I will probably use one of those and abandon the 4x6s. That 8 should do pretty well in a single cab.
had a single 8 running off a clean amp , loved it
hit me up if you guys change your mind. be good!!
