well i know that 2 10" can fit under the seat, depending on the mounting depth they require. my CVR fit fine, but i forgot how deep they need for a box.

If people dont really sit in the back seat, (i say this for safety reasons because of my suggestion) buy a piece of 1"x2" pine, cut into sections, paint black, and stand on edge between the seat and black brackets mounted to the floor to create a 2" riser will give you nice clearance for a box (it actually is more comfy for taller people after because your knees arent in your face so much). then, just measure with a tape measure. it isnt hard. make sure you figure out the correct airspace for the subs, otherwise they will sound like ****. check out MTX's website. they have some good DIY guides to building a box and give you the formulas to figure the airspace in the box. hope this helps!

dont use generic dimensions, build the box appropriate for your subs and the space you have. if your gonna do it, might as well do it right!


(I Did this in my cousin's '97. not sure what year they changed the bottom of the seat to flip up, so this may not help at all)
