(2) kicker RMB8's, advice??

[psych0ticnemes1 5,000+ posts]

i bought two of these off of Kali ( ) and the only place i can fit them (and where i want to put them) is under my back seat.... i have an s10blazer so the box would only be able 1.5-2 feet behind my front seat... i also have an sx15 for low end... would my sx drown'd out my midbass if i put them under the backseat??

Let me know, thanks a lot guys!! also, if anyone has an amp to power these (2-400rms) feel free to shoot some options on here, thanks...

These are designed to be ran IB. I would not put them in a box.

i would put them up front. the mounting depth is pretty shallow it would be easier to put up front than you think

i don't have kicks tho... and i don't wanna buy/ make em :/ i guess poor research on my part

ummm im being honest here would be VERY easy to put in your door.

but i would have to take the panel off somehow, and cut an 8" hole in it...

you dont want to modify anything? at all?

i don't want to cut holes in my doors no, i want to be able to take them out and put them in any vehicle without leaving a massive hole there... a box would be best but i guess they shouldn't go in a box

well you could put them in the factory location in the door (cut metal and not plastic) but thing is you would need to move you other speaker to do this....they make q forms for your blazer so you really wouldnt have to jack up your blazer too much if any at least visably

i don't have speakers in my doors lol, i guess i can try putting them in the doors... what about if i just make kind of like a table, and put the subs in there.. not actual box, just a top and and a few support peices?

lol im just trying to help you get a pretty good use outa them. they are shaped the way they are to get them "fitted" up front. with a sx 15 i am pretty sure they will get drowned out if mounted by the subs

but it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't sound/thump good in a box... i know they are meant for IB but i would think they would work in a box too :/
