Oh yeah well I measured it all out to where my dad(6foot 4inches tall) can sit somewhat comfortably in the front seat with me(6foot 1inches tall) still able to sit in the back seat without my legs touching my face haha. And I have the 10" sub at an angle to where with my seat the furthest back it can go(hitting the box) that I can still flip that little center console thing up or down no matter where the seat is.

Now I wonder if I can do vinyl, and wrap it so close that there will be no seam. I surely hope so because it will be awesome, and look factory.

i have my seats set where the driver is comfortable for me and the passenger front is a little tight but good enough for my gf who rides shotgun most of the time and behind the passenger is pretty comfortable. theres not much room to begin with. my dad drove the truck while i was in high school and i had to sit angled in the back when we would drive down to the lake in the truck. it was slightly uncomfortable but i made it work.

youll have it better since you already have the console so you can make it fit. where the passenger seat is at you can lift the console fine but back any further you cant. another reason i got the slim ones so i had more room for the airspace. i think it was .8 cubic foot per sub sealed.

are you gonna do sealed or port?

I am porting the 12" but I plan on leaving the 10" not ported because I dont have enough airspace to port it. And on top of that the 10" sub I have calls for .75 cubic feet and I will have a little more than that. My box gets narrower as it goes from the seat to the floor so I can slide my driver seat as far back as I want to, and it wont hit the box. There is about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch clearance. Did you put that poly-fill stuff in your box? I dont really want to, and dont think I am going to.

Hey man I have some pics of my box. Its still not finished, but I have the 12 all wired up and running.

This was while I was making it.

This is finished up as far as I can go. I am still waiting for the 10 in the mail.



I ran the 12 and it has a hella lot of bass for being by itself. I think its because I have it in the big ol box by itself(sealed)

Good Job -Nice Truck




was there enough airspace for them under the seats? did you lift them? before i built mine i took the seat out and couldnt find the room. but i do have a cd changer under the drivers rear seat.

not really. even before i had the box ive always had the person get it on the driver side any way. its a small hassle having to get out of the truck to let someone in but just have to make due. what was hard with not having the 4th door was replacing the speaker on that side
