Will this sub box fit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found a box for my 12" sub. The dims are 15" H, 19" W, and 7" deep at the top and 8" deep at the bottom.

I don't have the truck here right now to measure, so I'm not sure. I think it will fit, but it's the 7" depth at the 15" height point that I need to be sure of.

FWIW, for my height the seat is not all the way back.

it should fit decently. you might be a little uncomfortable with the seat that far up since the box is almost completely square. I made my box out of 3/4 inch MDF board and my dimensions were 54in long 16.5in tall. 4in deep at the top and 8in deep at the bottom. This box fits nicely behind the bench seat and you cant even tell its there. it houses 2 12in subs and an amp rack in the middle

You will be moving the seat forward ~3" in order to make that work, especially considering it's almost completely rectangular as previously mentioned.

If you can swap in a 13" steering wheel, it should feel alot better.

That's about how far forward it is at the moment, so I think it should work fine then.

I have a tilt column, so I'm not worried about the wheel for now.

Thanks for the input!
