Welcome to the board! I've seen them mounted under the seats but don't know what is involved. You can try using the search button, I'm sure you'll find plenty of ideas and info here.

thanks man ill try that

With 12's you may want to consider moving the gas tank out of the cab, that would clear up some room for you, then you could mount the amp(s) under the seat(s).

I don't think you'll get anything bigger than a 10 under the seats. I've got a little RE8 8" thats going under mine with a little alpine mono amp and a second amp for the fronts.

[bamaboy165]

ok yall thanks so much but how hard is it to remove the gas tank? and how much would it run me. im just thinkin about puttin it inside my bed how hard would this be. give me ideas,pointers etc. thanks.

I don't want to steer you wrong Bama so I am pointing you in the direction of Texasbigblock, he recently posted a thread where he installed a gas tank back near the rear bumper, turned out looking great and had a flip down license plate for tank access. Also, Cameeks posted some info in the same thread that might be helpful. Hope this helps.

thanks man i will check them out

[NYC-10]

Last year I installed 2 pioneer slims under the seat,I made my own box facing the subs up.I also fit 2 amps where the jack used to be.

[bamaboy165]

how big were the speakers?

[NYC-10]

I forgot the specs but look online

[Lippyp]

This is whats going in mine plus the four channel.



This is a picture from another board members truck, those are two 8's iirc so 12'2s are going to be very tight. I'm going with the same size box only one sub but two amps.

[bamaboy165]

thank yall guys i think im just gonna raise my seat and pop the twelves under the seats. thanks guys

[killacheyenne]

tell me how that turned out BAMA and show me some pics of it when your finished

[chevychase]

Do you know how much port volume the speakers need? If not, I'm sure you can google your speaker part#'s and find out. That's kind of important to get the right sound. I think the shallow mounts don't require much so you may be OK.

[bamaboy165]

would it be better to put them in one long box or two single boxes under the seat?

[70short]

Remove the tank out of the cab install a Blaser tank behind the axle. Very easy and not that expensive. Then put the speaker box behind the seat and the amps under the seat. Here is what I did 3-tens sealed box sounds awesome!!!!!!!!! Something about having a gas tank inside the cab that bothers me JMO.

[bamaboy165]

preciate the input man but ive already decided to put them under the seat lol so what would be better one long box or two seperate boxes?

[NYC-10]

I put one long box and divided it in the middle.I removed the cable to adjust the seat so it would fit.Also if you take out the jack 2 subs fit in there nicely

[bamaboy165]

sweet are yours behind the seat or under?

[NYC-10]

under

[bamaboy165]

awesome does puttin them under the seat take away any of the bass?

[killacheyenne]

nyc-10 put some pics up of your subs
