behind seat sub box mouting ideas needed
I,m wanting to try and build a full length speaker and amp box behind the seat of a 78 truck but was wondering how to go about mounting it behind the seat without drilling a bunch of holes in the cab for screws.Any other suggestions would be nice,is my first attempt at this.

Re: behind seat sub box mouting ideas needed
I am doing the same thing in my '68. My truck had the tank behind the seat so now I have a bunch of threaded places where my tank was bolted, I am going to use those. Same thing on the bottom side. Look in the pic, when I put the top and front on the box, I was going to screw "L" brackets to the top of the box and to the threaded bosses.

Re: behind seat sub box mouting ideas needed
speakers behind the seat are usually marginal in sound, so proceed with caution
you'll need to fasten anything down, so plan on a few holes in the floor i made a fiberglass enclosure to hold 2 amps, one 10'' sub and my battery behind the seat of my 58 truk

Re: behind seat sub box mouting ideas needed
Here's one I just built for my 84 Sierra. I kept the screw holes to a minimum by making the enclosure a tight fight. The corner boxes only have one screw holding them in place. I used a long screw and drilled down at an angle to force the enclosure tightly in the corner. I used the same principal with the storage box. It has one screw in each corner and its extremely tight.
Unfortunately the P/O drilled a row of holes to mount a tool pouch above the enclosure I built. I used some button head screws to fill the holes, then painted them white to match the cab. More details in my build thread here- "Refining Sierra"

Re: behind seat sub box mouting ideas needed
I used the old gas tank mounts for mine. I also bought the cab corner mounts too!
