I would probobly bring it to someplace that does Rinoliner (or similar) and have them squirt it with their next job. (Shouldn't cost much if they do it as a side job?) This will negate the need for any prep sanding and give you a tough sound deadening finish.
FWIW, my buddy (who drank the Toyota Koolaid and got a new Taco without even considering a Frontier,) bought a TacoTunes brand sub box for his truck. These come done in a thick coat of liner and it looks cool.

Second choice would be a 2 part epoxy based paint in a semi flat.
I'm really leaning towards paint, but I've got at least 9-10 hours in this thing already. I'm itching to get it done and installed. The PDX-5 greatly improved my door speakers, that thing is worth it's weight in gold, and now with another 300 watts waiting for bass alone, I'm about giddy with anticipation. However I am, according to my lovely wife of 17 years a "damn perfectionist", so I know if I paint it it will take lots more time.

Hmmmm. . . .being lazy vs. finished right let me see . . . . . I have to look at it for however many years I have the truck so . . . . . . damn, hard decision.

As always, thanks for the input Weehooker.
