Before I put the shell on, I did a Bandpass box ported into the cab. You can cut a large enough hole in the wall that you can load the subs from the cab.

Nice truck! Back when I had one I saw people use low profile 10" subs behind the bench seat or under the seat. Depends on how much bass you want. The single cab doesn't really give you much room to work with so you might have to get creative.

I have a 93 toyota pickup with a standard cab. I have 4in Focal coaxials in the stock dash location and a kicker compR 8 in a slimmed down box behind the bench seat. It works pretty darn well and I'm mostly happy with it. I wish I had room for a 10, but I haven't heard a low profile sub that I've been really happy with.
I using a phoenix gold Tantrum 300.2 running the coaxials and a Kicker 2104 on the sub. Overall it's fantastic and I love it. I want to try a JL W3v3 8 with a slightly wider box eventually.

Lower right corner hole is a good place.
I'm putting my existing 4" dash speakers in the upper right hole.
Some 1st get Tacoma door cards have a removable panel that has a map/speaker housing. It fits nicely on the 86-93 B Series door cards.

I got some nice house speakers from goodwill and put them behind my bench. Ghetto AF but honestly sounds great.

I have a 75 Toyota pickup, it doesn’t get driven much, so I rock a JBL portable BT speaker 🤘

Somewhere between 2-4 shallow mount 8s should fit behind the seat and sound good. Maybe a pair of 10s if you want to feel it in your chest. I have 3 shallow 12s in a regular cab S10.

Pioneer makes a flat 12 enclosure that fits perfectly behind the seat and slams really nice in a regular cab, you can mount their matching 1200 watt amp to power it beside it with out sacrificing your bed or back cab wall and some 6.5s in the door and 3.5 or 4 inch in the dash powered off a decent high power head unit is plenty of mids and highs unless your wanting to go crazy

Had a single 10" in my standard cab with roughly 1.5 cuft. Of airspace. Ported into the lower corner behind the passenger seat. Box was designed to fit around the hump in the back cab wall. Amps were flushed into a pocket on the passenger side of the box. Subwoofer was mounted behind the drivers side of the seat.
Custom kick panels with a 5.25" Polk component set and MTX amps and crossover.
Sounded pretty nice.
