Could be done but, they would need to fire forward. The subs would stick out from under the seat a bit. Search for Brypink's 10W7 box. Same basic idea.

x2.

And just because I have nothing better to do here are a couple pics of that box, hopefully Bryan doesnt mind me posting these up...





Brys back seat is lifted I believe to make this happen. Im not sure if with the smaller 8 inch version if you would need to lift it or not...I dont know how much distance there is between the bottom of the seat and the floor...

you would still need to lift it, the space between the floor and bottom of the rear seat on a stock 04 supercab is 7.5" roughly.

I had wanted to do the same thing with either one or two 8w7's. I also dont want to lift the seat.

If someone figures something out, hook us up...

Later,

the price tag is crazy but the 8w7 is impressive in my book.... i have the stealthbox right now... it sounds good and the fit and finish is totally impressive but i've already found the end of it which is something i HATE doing is finding the end a speaker. Hopefully someone can come up with a box

Notice though that in Bry's box, the subs stick out from under the seat. The 8W7 would need to stick out from under the seat. I looked at it when Bry and I talked about it a while back and I think it will work without a lift. It may not be a very safe option as the subs would be exposed to be kicked or stuff thrown in to them. But, it can work.
