did u guys have to make ur own box so that it can fit under the seat?

Re: people with systems?
 

still working on it, but I have two boxes behind the seat each has a 10" I can take a shot or two but it ain't too pretty right now, oh and yes I have relocated the gas tank.....

Re: people with systems?
 

oh i see!
well i dont want to relocate my gas tank!
i just want to fit it under the seat!

Re: people with systems?
 

that's gonna take a very flat box, but I bet it has been done

Re: people with systems?
 

thats where mine is its under the passenger side barely fits but fits its a ten inch kicker shallow mount. the sub is 150 dollars on crutchfield. I made the box myself just gotta get it as shallow as possible i had to unbolt my passenger side to get it under there because of that stupid lip under the front of the seat but it works good. Makes a bunch of people say they are about to crap their pants but its all good =)

i got a 12" sub in a box i picked up from my friend... i got it sitting on my transmission hump in my truck... it looks kinda goofy but hey nobody in my town has ever heard a 36 year old truck with a sub in it that pounds!! i dont care much about it so i just drive and rock out to the music just like any other 17 year old would do... parents dont like it too much since its too loud haha

Re: people with systems?
 

haha i used to do the same exact thing with mine it was just ina box on the middle hump but it was hard for my women to get over it so i just took it out....

Re: people with systems?
 

I bought mine with 2 6x9's in a box in the middle transmission hump hooked up

actually kinda looks like it fits because my truck has buckets, replaced the Jensen 6x9's with Pioneer ones today

Eventually after I get some paint and body work done on this truck, I'll work on doing the sound properly

if you remove the gas tank and use fiberglass you can salvage about 7 cubic feet behind the seat but with a MAX sub depth of about 8 inches and that is tight.

i personally am going with 4 10s if i dont cut my cab, i want to go 4 ma audio 18's for the shock factor..

as for mounting speakers/amps under the seat(s) with gas tank in place. i am not comfortable with considering i have seen many speakers and amps light fires givin the deficit of gasoline. i think a small centerconsole with a 10 up front will be sufficient for most.

Re: people with systems?
 

just installed 2 6x9's between buckets in my 72, seats are from a 98 chevy. check out my other post for a description. i can send you pix if you want. i think the configuration would work for an 8" woofer or two, with some mods. Actually, i'm sure it would work. I didn't go w/subs/amp combo yet, because a) i'm on a budget b)it's just a truck i drive about once a week c) the two 5.5's in the doors wouldn't put out enough highs to overcome the bass, in my opinion. my 99 has 2 10's, my 66 has 4 10's, so i know you need some good highs when you rock! By the way, if i do relocate the tank, it will get a box w/2 10's as well. good luck, keep us posted

What year is the truck? I built a center console lookin thing with a bench and it works pretty good (in an 87), lower years should be even simpler.

^That actually looks really good. A+

Re: people with systems?
 

My four 10" subs are sitting behind my seat. Not much place else to put them really...

My amps are hiding under the seat. They don't really get that hot, and I abuse them, thoroughly...

Re: people with systems?
 

if you ar looking to keep the gas tank and not cut holes you dont have a lot of options.
you could do buckets and a center concole with a sub in it and speakers in the kick pannels. that would be ideal.

Re: people with systems?
 

drewdude92 can you post a picture of your kicker 10 and its box. im thinking about doing that same thing.
