what size subs can we fit behind a 69 c10? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I haven't pulled out the gas tank yet, but im thinking I can get a sub with around a 7" mounting depth pretty comfortably. am i pretty close on this guess>?

JL Audio 10w3's will fit. I'm not sure of the 12s. And depending on how much bass you want. The 8w7 will fit at 6.83. And don't laugh about it being an 8" sub. These things are amazing. I would go for a set if they weren't $450 each. Oh I'm a fan of JL, but there are many others out there that will fit too. Just depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend.

This is what I have with 3-10's. MTX I have had them for along time.

I saw this JL Audio setup this weekend. Three 10" subs and it hit hard.

A 10" sub (or several of them) are your best bet. You can't just factor in the depth of the sub, you also have to consider the space that the enclosure's materials will consume.

A 6" mounting depth + a 3/4" MDF enclosure + cosmetic materials (carpet, firberglass, etc.) = ~7"

The JL audio 12" sub, will fit under any 67-72 bench seat if done right. I just had one put in last week and my tank is still behind the seat.

You can put pretty much anything except for the absolute deepest of subwoofers, as long as you are willing to give up leg room. Budget, sound level requirements, amp power, seat position, etc. all come into play. Based on your question, it's hard to give you an exact answer.
