Anyone try to fit subs under the rear seat yet?


Recommended Posts

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.

Your only problem would be the fact that the seat bottoms move when you let the seat down if I'm not mistaken. 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.

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.
