Big Ruckus Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I'm getting ready to add 2 Pioneer shallow mount 10's to the factory system and I'm brainstorming on configuration/locations. I'm either going to simply build a rectangular box and place it firing down and sitting flat just right behind the backseat (carpeted in factory matching carpet) or I'm thinking about the spare tire well idea also. My random other thought was to see if I could fit them under the rear seat. I've only looked under there for a moment and decided that it wouldn't work but now I'm thinking again about that idea. Under the backseat is sort of deceiving as far as room goes, it looks roomy enough but the seat's feet brackets sort of take up enough space to make it look like a pain to design a box around. Anyone try this approach yet? Has anyone had the front center console out yet? I wonder if there is any dead space under there for a single sub. LOL, I might just have to start taking stuff apart now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be SOL on letting the seat backs down if you had a subwoofer box underneath one side. I suppose you could do the 40 split side instead of the 60 split so you could at least let the bigger side down if you needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a better look last night and that doesn't look like a possibility so I'll cross that dumb idea off the list. I think i'm leaning toward making boxes for the spare tire area that will sit north of the spare tire, right behind the seat back. Figure I'll cut that styrofoam insert almost in half and use it as a template on how much area I can use for the box. The enclosure will then take it's place and assist in supporting that floor. I'm trying to challenge myself instead of just defaulting to the rectangular enclosure idea, it would be nice to have it hidden under that rear floor.

DonkeyWithAnEdge Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I was thinking of using under the rear seat, just have not had time to go look at it more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
