box and subs off ebay

So a couple months ago when I decided to start building a system I bought Kicker subs and a box off eBay. The question or problem I have with this setup, is their is that I don't believe these subs are getting enough air in the box and the box sticks out from under the seat. I am not thinking about starting over with my subs and box. This is the link for the what i originally bought.

I was wondering what pre-made boxes you have that fit flush under the seat and if you had any pictures. Thanks

I too just bought a box off ebay. The quality looks great but once I installed it sticks out about inch and also my seats dont fold down all the way. I think that I am going to do the seat lift kit to resolve my issue unless I can think of something else. The auction stated that is was a direct fit once the jack was removed but I dont think it fits all that great.

I to bought the exact same thing. I'm hoping a seat-lift fixes it. But how does it sound ? Mines getting installed this week so I'll soon see.

It sounds great. I thought it would sound muffled since the sub are in the down fire posistion but suprisingly is sounded great.

Also if anyone knows, where is the cheapest place to get a seat lift kit. Is there a way to make them homemade? Paying $150 to lift my seat just seems kinda high priced.

After spending around $200 on the subs and box I cant justify spending $150 on a lift. The seat lift possibly wont even correct the problem. I was wondering what box to go with since i am thinking about just using a single sub and having room for my jack again.

I have tried using washers to lift the seat and it still doesnt want fit. I am not sure if the box is to long to fit under the seat or two tall. Since I am considering going with a single sub setup i was wondering if people could post up pictures of the single boxes that they use so when i buy one i know it will fit. Thanks
