2004 Supercab Amp and Sub Box Placement

Hey Everyone,
I have finally purchased all my audio equipment for my truck and now I am trying to decide where to mount it!

Here is what I have:

HU: Eclipse CD8454
Front Components: Focal 165W
Rear Speakers: JL TR570-CXi
Subs in box: 2 - 8" JL W0's (This takes up the rear driver area)
Amp1: JL 250/1
Amp2: JL 450/4

The 250/1 will easily fit under the passenger rear seat, but I am not sure where to mount the JL 450/4. I have seen posts that show the amp mounted behind the rear seat, but I am not sure that is a good idea since there is no ventilation. I have looked for a single 10" subbox that would fit under the passenger side and then I would have room to mount the amps on the driver side.

Any advice, suggestions, comments etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I dont know any place to mount them in a 04+, but just a note on the amp behind the seat. I have my sub amp behind the back seat, and it works fine. As long as the amp stays cool, or just a little warm to the touch, you wont have cooling problems.

Sound like a pretty nice stereo, good luck with it

There is one place that I know of that sells pre-made subwoofer boxes that are a custom fit for the 2004 Supercab. You can choose between 1 - 10" or 2 - 8" subs.

Single 10"

Dual 8"

I had mine custom made at my local stereo shop. I chose to go with 2 - 8" JL Audio W0's. http://www.dfwsystems.com/subbox0001.jpg (This takes up the rear driver area).

I have a 2005 FX4 Supercab and I just purchased a box from Musicmooseaudio.com that will hold a single 10" Kicker CompVR. Fits under the driver side rear seat. I'll post some pics let you know how it sounds once I get it installed. It should be here this week.
