I'm redoing the interior on my truck and putting in bucket seats. is there a console sub enclosure that will work in 88-98 chevy trucks. single cab. or am i forced to follow the crowd and put it behind my seat. i don't want to make one as it would end up looking like poo. haha. any help is much appreciated.

Not sure, I always make my own enclosures. I did a center console sub in my Toyota truck years ago and worked out well. I know that there is one for the Dodge Ram that replaces the bottom seat section of the middle in the bench with a sub, might be something like that for a chevy.

I save make it yourself..there is alot of info on tha net about stuff like that..get some poster board to make a pattern..build tha sub part out of MDF..tha rest out of 1/4 ply..a full length with cup holders would flow better than jus a short box & somewhat hide tha sub..

That looks real nice, too. Wish I could lose my center seat for something like that.

taking on a whole interior at once is a major PITA. my only problem with building my own is it will look really bad. I am an experiencedsound guy but all the boxes i make go under seats or behind them. just wantedto see if anyone had somthing unusual. but this is starting to look like one is going behind the seat. as I'm hoping to get my new seats tomarrow and get them dyed.

I know all too well what a pain in the ass the WHOLE interior is as a project. Mine is going on about 2 months now and I still need a steering wheel, some more paint in the cab, and my subs.
