Maybe lift the seat and build a custom box with 3 deeps 10's or maybe 4? Going to be running out of room.

If you already have front buckets then get a custom built console to run from the front to the back, replace rear bench with two buckets so your console can go to the rear wall, you could probably get 3-4 12's in there. Feed them enough power and you should have all the bass you need.

I would start off with ONE new box....rearange the setup, no 'two under the seat, one behind, twor of three boxes all different sizes' stuff. Make a good box that works for all of them airspace wise before you start all over.

Sheet, trying just using the two in your underseat box...you might be having some cancelation issues...cant say for sure since I cant see the setup, I would have to guess its not ideal though.

I would just get better subs, and keep them under the rear seat. That is if you are already pushing your current subs to their limits. Like previously said, get a single enclosure for all the subs, with the correct volume, and load it with harder hitting subs. My personal favorites are the Kicker solo baric subs. L5's are good but L7's are the best, and they don't cost alot. I like them because they are square and its a lot easier to make a custom box then the round subs, plus the added surface area of the cone. I have a single 10" L5 in my reg cab, but it hits hard. I'll be upgrading soon to a 10" or 12" L7.

kickers are loud but quite sloppy. this kid at my school had two 12" L7s in his trunk and sure they rattled the crap out of his car but couldn't hit a double bass note for crap.

You might have noise cancellation going on. Do like Bartak1 said above and just try using the 2 10's under the seat. If that isnt loud enough, then maybe upgrade your amp or subs. Maybe a seat lift and new box to get better 10's or even 12's in there.

Must have a bad setup. I have done many install with kicker products and they have all been very good and sound the best to me. Yes I have tried damn near every big name brand but for the price kicker is the way to go.

well of course of the big name brands kicker is one of the better ones, along with JL. but if you compare them to the sound quality if ID, eD, RE, SI and other non mainstream subs, i think you will find them quite sloppy.
