Having gotten lazy and cheap in my old age! Now thats outta of the way. I've come to a point that I need to put my rear seat back into my crew cab. I want to keep my full length floor mount sub box "as is, where is!" Whats the answer? A bored welder in the area? Anyone been able to mod their rear seat to accept one? IMHO the "behind the seat solution" sux!

Ebay is your best friend on this one there are lots of sub enclosures that go under the seat. I just picked one up for my ext cab for $70.

i put one in my truck. It's a down fire box.. It's better to have one custom made than to buy a pre fab one. You get more box that way.. Ill have to send u pics, cause I cant figure out how to make the pics small enough to upload on my garage...

That would mean 2 boxes to do it "right" in a CC? So much for the cheap and lazy part.:eek:

There's a pic re-sizer at microsoft.com. ( I think it was in the "power toys" section,) and at "Komando.com". Both are free!

I custom built mine. It is capable of holding dual 12" subs under the seats. I have windows and an amp drop cross section. Its a perfect fit for the HD crew cabs. I will be selling my entire system with the box sometime soon for something like $700. If you need a box custom made i spent about $70 and 20 hours.

I don't think the rear seat will fold down flat with any of the under seat boxes, if that makes a difference to you. I usually fold the rear seat down for the dog, so it wont work for me.

-- RickWow, that sounds like "show quality" stuff there! I'll check out probox and a few other places. So much for cheap and lazy LOL. What was the "Theile, Small" formula again? I haven't built a box since the '70's, I might just dig out the saw and glue!

I use the subthump box and love it. Would like to have Riccas 12" box but I got mine too soon. I hate when I am impatient and something better comes out right away!

Mine box looks identical to the pictures attatched. I have 10v3 JL Audio.. I had the box behind the seat, first with two tens, then three......But this box sounds much better... That is if anyone else is debating between having a box behind the back seat or underneath.....
