Does anyone have a sub/subs in thier 2000 crew cab? If so, what size? and do any of you have them behind the back seat? I'm looking for advice on what to get/where to place it.


Thanks!

I have two tens in a box occupying the center of my rear seat. I rarely sit anyone back there but my dog but Im leaning towards cutting the center section of my seat away and making a box that sits in there. Some people have fit 8" tubes or 10" pioneer slims behind the rear seat.

would normal 10 inch subs fit(slims are exspensive)? and how do they compare to a 12(what i originally wanted was a 12 inch sub till i realized it would be too big)?

Im a sony geek and as such got xplod subs. The ones I got are about 10 inches deep by themselves without a box and there is no way the sub itself could fit behind the rear seat let alone in a box. My two 1200W tens hit harder than one friends 1100W single 12" JL sub but dont come even close to what a 12" kicker comp was like when I hooked that up to my system. The simplest solution I think is get a single 12 and strap it in the center section of your rear seat which is what I am considering doing.

I took the backseats out and am in the middle of building a box for a 15".
The backseat was too small for people anyway.

They make boxes to fit 2 8" or 2 10" shallow mounts behind the backseats or you can make your own.
I personally hate shallow mounts, most of the one's I've heard don't sound too great and have as much bass as a nice comp stage.

subs

I had 2 10''s behind the seat.They were MA Audio 600watt comp subs.I had to make a block that moved the seat latch out about 2'' so the seat would lock in when the box was installed. Now have one 8'' in the factory sub box that sounds ok for what it is.Thinking of getting 3 more 8''s and rocking it out again.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking if doing since i rarely have anyone sit in the middle. I'm also thinking about building a box to fit a 12" on the floor in front of the middle seat, so that if anyone does ride in the middle they can straddle the box.

EDIT: Nvm i just did the measurements and theres no way a 12 would fit down there where i have my seat adjusted(im a tall guy and its all the way back.). A 10 would fit though. I guess without taking up that middle seat back there this truck is just too small for a 12....

i got 1 8" kicker L5 and it's good for what i listen to. If you like lots of bass you could look into getting 3 8" L5's or L8's. Sorry i'm a kicker fan. you'd then need a decent amp to power this set up. If anyone wants to go overboard i have a 15" orion H2(1000watts rms or 2000watts peak of raw power).

So how would a 3 8" subs sound in comparison to a 12"?

I would say it definately depends on your tastes and the quality of the subs. You can get a 10" rated at 500w or 100w so that comes into consideration too. I think 3 8" subs you would feel more because more air is moving, but a quality 12" could hit some lower frequencies and save space. Also ported/sealed boxes have an effect on the sound aswell. You can get a single alpine 12" rated at 1500w rms I'd go for one of those in a sealed box and hit the lows hard.

Edit: Then again I have more space in the cab.

Yeah i'm just wanting to get something that will fit behind my back seat, and its looking like 8's in a box is all that will fit back there. I'm thinking about just putting a 12 in a box in the middle seat, which i dont want to, but i may have to

 

[00Frontier4cyl]

8's will do fine for everyday listening if its all you can fit. I listened to my system loud for a few months and now im over it, it hardly sees over 50% power unless im being an *** on purpose at stoplights :]. The 10" in a ported box just doesn't hit low enough, good in the 50-80hz range though.

Kenwood - KFC-XW1200F

Anyone know if this bad boy would fit?

 

[belac515]

The new Alpine Type R shallow mounts are really nice.

If you're wanting stright SQ then Tang Band and Elemental designs makes some nice 6.5" subs that would easily go behind your back seats.

 

[foppinanrockin]

Anyone have any pics of a setup with 8's? I've decided to put two 8's in a box in the back and get a component system

 

[youngfronty]

you know i did this the easy way and just ditched the backseats all together. as people have said already its to small to fit anybody back there, and as you said being a big guy you have the seat all the way back, creating less room. so i just tore the seat out, mounted a HUGE phoenix gold audio bandpass box with two 12", 1200 watt phoenix gold subs, and a jvc amp on top

lol thats rediculous.....but totally AWESOME!!!


i dont want to take the seat out though, and now i have the money for subs and an amp. anyone recommend any good 8 inchers or amps(looking for about 500w cuz ill be running two 8s)?

 

[youngfronty]

the JVC im running now is pretty awesome. its a 600 though but its the biggest one the make without going into their high performance section. it was a little less than 200 bucks but i love the thing

Newegg.com - Kicker 10C84 8" 200W Comp Car Subwoofer
