It depends on the truck, what is it?

It’s not so much the subs as it is the sound dynamics created by the configuration of the cab.

The mounts are both custom made for my ’94 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab, and both go under the rear seat, will there be a difference in performance and sound quality between the two?

Yes, there will be a difference in sound. For example, if you face the port for subs up in a cars trunk they won’t be as loud as if the port faced the rear of the trunk. I suggest getting the forward fire if you want sound quality and down fire if you want a little more spl kind of sound. It’s not going to make a HUGE difference, but a small one. Good luck!

Question by : can you use a factory stereo for a custom sound system?
What i am trying to say is that if i can put an amplifier and two 10 inch SUBWOOFERS with a truck’s original (stock) stereo. If it’s possible, can you please tell me how to do it.

You can but if you want a good sound then you may have to fork out for an aftermarket stereo and an equalizer. You will have to follow the instructions with your equipment as you need diagrams to help you hook everything up.
