Re: under seat box

Nice lookin box, cori64! That's a pretty big looking box under the bench, but I don't think you'd be able to kicker comps under there...What's the depth of the kicker and how much room do you have under the box?

Re: under seat box

your probably right!!but my box is 6 inches deep on the high side!!and my shallow subs are recessed in the box,but im sure you could get a full sized ten in there easy!! and i have no grills and i dont hit the box at all!! .......here it is during mock up with my old seat frame!

Re: under seat box

Ya...with the kickers having a mounting depth of 7 7/16", looks like under the bench isn't possible. I've seen full size 10's under a bench, but not 100% positive on the brand...I think they were Fosgate though. How much volume did you get out of that box cori64?

Re: under seat box

I just measured under my seat today and 7" was about what I was going to set my max height at. It was a bit higher than that, but with a mounting depth of over 7 already you'd never get that and another 3/4" of box in there.

Re: under seat box

Cori, how wide and long is your box. I see 6" deep, but I don't happen to have a tape measure with me to check mine. Happen to remember off the top of your head?

Re: under seat box

i think it is about 46 inches wide,it fits in between the seat tracks that are trimmed of all the brackets on the inside so it doesnt go forward anymore,and they are welded in that position,if you have an extra seat frame stripped it makes it easy to fit the box! and i didnt raise my seat like ive seen others do!
