when you have subs?

I redid the box about a month ago but was to lazy to put up pics till now

You do loose a little bit but I'm always driving so I dont care

pebbleboy · 11-11-2005, 05:18 PM

Rest of the system

I also have two highs in the stock location under the dash but there really hard to get pics of.

Joe67 · 11-11-2005, 05:45 PM

Boom :d

A.P. · 11-11-2005, 05:46 PM

Wow tight fit.

67chevemall · 11-11-2005, 05:48 PM

boom boom boom....
yeeeee haaaaaa

QKENUF4U · 11-11-2005, 06:16 PM

y didnt you build a box for behind the seat ? i put two truck boxes back there and was gonna have my sirius setup (attached to a piece of 1/8" plywood) back there between them but i decided to sell the whole SIRIUS setup and just use my CD player (under my seat)
i did think about building a box for behind the seats with 2-10's but im not a big bass fan (i like but not that much). more than enough room back there for a box.
just curius since you loose all that floor space for any passengers (wife,girlfriends,buddies-both genders)

Probably has a gas tank in the way.

Good security tip, toss your coat over the box, it'll just look like you are a slob.

matthufham · 11-11-2005, 07:29 PM

if you're always driving, don't stop. if you park it and leave that easily seen like that, somebody's going to steal it for sure.

Striker169 · 11-11-2005, 07:35 PM

dam thats a new idea... though personally I want to put mine behind the seat mmmm back massager....

muddpile · 11-11-2005, 07:35 PM

What size sub is that and how many cubic feet is the box? It looks pretty big, and I bet it plays pretty low.

llegos · 11-11-2005, 07:59 PM

i hate having a gas tank behind the seat, but its too late to change that out since i got a new one in there a couple months ago

The box is almost even with the door opening. It's not real easy to see unless you are right next to the truck. The sub is all the way under the dash.

It's right at 1 cuft. I think should have ported it but I grew impatient building it and said if I don't like the sound of it I'll pull it out and port it.

cool dude same speakers i got an put in my door got mine at walmart with mp3 wav comp. for 127 buxs

70short · 11-13-2005, 02:48 PM

This is what I have behind the seat 3 10's .80 cube a piece. I like bass

67chevemall · 11-13-2005, 06:00 PM

^very sweet. I like how tight the bass is from the 10's .

Here is my consol before the black light/plexi glass with the Chev 10 on top and black vinal

I'm going to put a 8 or 10" sub in the glove box.

longnlow72 · 11-15-2005, 11:42 PM

i went with under the seat and out of the way, tought to get to fit but possible and still sound good

Got any more picture? Or some dimensions of those boxes?

subtle71 · 11-16-2005, 03:15 AM

70short: Nice enclosure! If you have removed the gas tank, that is a nice solution. I am going to assume that pebbleboy is using a 12" sub that requires a lot of air space/large enclosure to perform. I originally did four 8" subs under my seat. They each required .33 cu. ft. for optimum performance. I had each pair sharing a .6 cu. ft. I have since changed to a pair of 10" subs that require .66 cu. ft each for optimum performance. If behind the seat is not an option for you, do your homework to make sure the subs work well in small enclosures. Also, either way, double check how deep the sub is physically.

Here's mine old set up.

70short · 11-16-2005, 03:25 AM

Thanks Subtle71 thats A nice install. Actually thats an awesome interior!

Did you have to lose the parking brake pedal to use those kick panels? I don't see it there.

subtle71 · 11-16-2005, 01:53 PM

Oh yeah, lost the e-brake. To put things in perspective, I drive this truck an average of 500 miles a year. In the almost six years that I have owned it, I have yet to be able to enjoy it. Plans for 2006 are to drive the pi$$ out of it! I plan of hitting several Spring cruise-ins and hopefully the Hot Rod Power Tour.

llegos · 11-16-2005, 09:17 PM

i was thinking about subs under the seat, but doest that vibrate the a$s a lot?

What's wrong with that? I would say more like a "tingling sensation"

llegos · 11-17-2005, 12:04 AM

im not sayin its bad, im just wondering if its really annoying, or what? i can always put them under the middle, since no one really sits there
