Will two 10" subs fit under my seats in an 03 ranger ext. cab?

I doubt it. If your seats sit as low as mine, you'll be lucky to get an amp under them (unless ext. cab has higher seats than reg for some reason).

They are less than 3" man, do you have at least 5 inches of clearence under your seat for a box?

i think i have about 4" of clearance. maybe 4.5" pushing it.

Hmm, Pioneer makes an "under the seat box" for it. Check out the dimensions of it, measure under your seat, and if it that box will fit, just build one yourself (it's probably $100+ from them).

the box would work except one side is like 4.75" and the other side slopes up to about 6.5" so with only about 4.5" max it wouldnt work.

Can i get mdf smaller than 3/4"?

You can, but it's generally not reccomended. I'd wait for someone a little more knowledeable than me to respond though, because I'm by no means an expert, and I don't want to tell you something blatantly false...

Dude, you have an ext. cab. Why the hell would you put subs under the seats when you have all that room?

Because people ride with him a lot?

Other people are overrated

I'm guessing it's abench seat in the back? If so, you might be able to fit them behind the seats

You can add some heavy duty washers under your seat bolts all 4 and raise your seat 1/2"

use 1/2" mdf

wont hurt anything at that power.

i have to keep the back space open and i have fold down seats. Where can i get washers to lift the seats? How much are they? i will be pushing max 1700 to the pair, so will 1/2" be strong enough?

What amp will you be using. THe RMS on these subs are 250 watts. I doubt both of those will ever see 1700. 1/2 MDF might be alright.
