Box for 1996 Z71 ext cab

[samger2 10+ year member]

I did some searches but didn't come up with anything. I'm looking to potentially build a box for my 1996 Z71 ext cab that will go under the driver side portion of the rear seat. I'm looking to use either a 10 or a 12. My question is, has anyone built a box like the single downfiring one near the bottom of the page?

In other words does anyone have the dimensions? I got in the truck and did a bit of measuring this weekend, but I'm not a whiz at box building and there are some curves and contours under the seat that I wouldn't want to mess up.

I suppose I could glass the bottom section...I've done that before, but I'm trying to avoid that since glassing is nasty work especially in 90 degree heat.

Thanks in advance.

I'm just finishing up building one for my 05. I opted to go topfiring half way through the build. Downfiring just rattles the crap out of everything. I'd look at raising your seat up at least an inch, it opens up a lot more sub choices. You don't need to go to the extent of glassing, you can get enough room without. In my 05 raising my seat 2" I can get over a cubic foot after sub displacement. By extending the box over the hump I can raise the seat an inch and easily get over the 1.0 foot mark.

Give me a day or 2. I'm trying to finish up getting my new comps installed. After that's done It'll only take me a few minutes to get my box finished up for you to get a good idea.
