Re: subwoofer boxes

This CAN be done. If you can fit an Amp back there, then you can fit one of the newer slim mount subs back there. It all depends on how your box is built. It really needs to be a custom box.
I've got a Kenwood 10" in a slim box (the slimmest box you'll get from a factory) and my seat is all the way back. You have to really smash the seat into the box, and the back vinyl of your bench will show the print where you mushed it into the sub box, but you CAN slide the seat all the way back.

I would recommend getting a JL Audio 13.5" TW Sub. They offer the best combination of slim but still powerful ratio that i have come across thus far. Have someone build you a box that is so slim that the front flange of the sub sticks out farther than the box, and I'm sure it will fit.

Amazon.com: JL Audio 13TW5-3 Shallow Mount 13.5... Amazon.com: JL Audio 13TW5-3 Shallow Mount 13.5...
If you want to discuss further, I can have a box built for you. It would be based on my '78 K-10 and your Sub, so I can get it built and send it to you so that you just need to mount the sub, but it will certainly fit back there with no seat movement. It does NOT have to be the sub in the link. I was just offering that as a suggestion.

Re: subwoofer boxes

contrary to most yes it can be done I dont have pictures of said truck because when I did it their was no world wide web to show off what you had done but I just did the same idea in a toyota pick up with 2 12" subs

I forgot to subtract a couple of my messurements but in the end the seats are right where I like them other then they cant recline as far as id like but I'm getting used to it

heres the link

you can always mod the column... I mod'd my column and its one of those transparent mods... you could stare at it all day and not notice it but if someone said look at this, this is what i did... you would be like dam.. required tools, welder, cut off wheel and a second steering column bracket. other than that its one of those "free mods"
Im 6'6 and I can stretch my arm strait out and steer the truck vs before my arm would be bent... I gained about 2 - 3 inches.
