Try blaupunkt's new (flying saucer) it will fit in any depth space as deep as a AA battery is tall. THE 10" IS 299 OUCH!!!!!

FILICE72C10 · 08-11-2003, 12:28 AM

no way, not unless you want to raise your seat soo high your shoulder will hit the roof!

Try this

FILICE72C10 · 08-11-2003, 12:31 AM

oops

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-11-2003, 12:34 AM

That's a bazooka ?? correct. How does it sound???

DanoDMano · 08-11-2003, 12:37 AM

The last bazooka I had sounded real tinny, and didnt thump at all. How does that sound back in the corner like that?
Also, what size Amp are you running with it??

pissonNOS · 08-11-2003, 12:52 AM

I have a rockford 8 HE2 Punch under my seat now only had to raies the seat 1 inch and after about 15 minutes didnt even notice a difference. and my one 8 sounds better than my buddys 2 pioneer 10's

DanoDMano · 08-11-2003, 01:02 AM

Hey PissonNOS, do you have a photo of the enclosure? What size Amp are you running??

Is this what you have??http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=18802

'89Z71 · 08-11-2003, 01:16 AM

I have two bazooka 6 1/2 bass tubes behind my seat right now and i think they suck. They have a delayed "thump" because of the tube design and they tend to blend all the bass together so it sounds kind of blurry. I'm moving back up to 2 12" subs. Dont know what kind yet, but i too was thinking of mounting some under the seat. To expand on DanoDMano's questions, could i fit a 12 under each side of my bench seat in my '89 GMC Sierra? TIA, DK

pissonNOS · 08-11-2003, 01:18 AM

Sorry I dont have any pictures of the box or anything the amp is a Dragster DA-302 30wx2RMS doesnt sound like much compared to other amps but its an amazing amp I can play for at least 3 hours before the amp even gets warm. I basically took the dimensions that came with my rockford sub and built a box to fit under the seat of my truck only took me about a quarter sheet of MDF too. but if i remember right the dimensions were something like 8 inches high by 17 inches long and about 14 inches wide im not positive tho

pissonNOS · 08-11-2003, 01:24 AM

I almost forgot to mention that if you havent already bought a sub stear clear from Rockford there quality went down hill since they sold out to future shop and Visions the old stuff is good but new stuff is garbage. Go with Audiobahn for a good quality sub for reasnable pricing

Nova_Cobra64 · 08-11-2003, 01:51 AM

If you want to go the 10" route, when I did my research I found that 4.5" probably would have been the ideal depth for under the seat at stock height. I couldn't get anything that shallow through any of my suppliers, so I went with 2 visonik 10's. I had to raise the seat 3/4" in the front and 1 1/8" in the back.

I would say it would be easy to find some good quality 8's with a depth 4.5 or less. Finding good quality 10"s 4.5" or less is tough.

FILICE72C10 · 08-11-2003, 11:26 AM

I have a 300 watt RS 6 that is powered by my 400 Watt MTX amp. It sounds great..

Mike C · 08-11-2003, 01:58 PM

I have a Kicker free-air 10 underneath passenger side of my OEM full foam seat. No need to raise seat! The enclosure looks like a box, but is open on the back and just sits on the carpet. No way to get it out without removing the seat! I run a Crossfire 100x4 bridged 200x1 into the sub and 100x2 into Kicker separates. This is the simplest, best sounding system I have ever had.

r0lf- · 08-11-2003, 04:28 PM

I have an infinity reference 10 behind my seat powered by about 250 watts. The Basslink that you are looking at is an AWESOME package for a Bazooka style sub, it will never fit under your seat though and it might even be a pain to get behind the seat.

cojnit · 08-11-2003, 06:25 PM

Now dont you all wish you had suburbans!! The last thing I am worried about is where I am going to put some subs! I think I could hide a dead body or 2 in the rear quarter panels alone!

DanoDMano · 08-11-2003, 08:12 PM

That looks great Mike C, I have my amp in the same spot. Is your seat the stock bench? You didnt have to raise the seat? Does the
seat actually hit the top of the woofer?

That is what I would like to do, but just aint sure how it will sound, or if it will rub on the bottom of the set? My wife is small
so I wont have to worry about her sitting over there, but I may have an occasional hefty person over there....

:p

Mike C · 08-11-2003, 10:39 PM

The seat as I said is the full foam original. It does not hit with noone in the seat, but it is slightly muffled with a passenger of any mass! I am VERY pleased with how it sounds. Under the drivers side I have an Alpine 6 disc changer.

miket · 08-12-2003, 12:30 AM

Dan,

I have a set of JL 10's you can either have or test to see if they will fit.....your call....let me know...

DanoDMano · 08-12-2003, 12:39 AM

Hey MIkeT how the heck are ya?? Yah that would be cool to
just try and see how they fit. Are you gonna be around this week??

miket · 08-12-2003, 12:42 AM

Ummm...yeah we can work somthing out....I am in Indianapolis until wednesday...maybe thursday/friday?

DanoDMano · 08-12-2003, 01:09 AM

miket · 08-12-2003, 08:26 AM

Hooter · 08-14-2003, 12:37 AM
