Places to put subs

[harvey1795 10+ year member]

Here's the deal. I have a GMC 1500 extended cab. I already have 2 subs under the seats and I'm looking for somewhere else to put subs. Any suggestions at all?

Center console? I have 2 very shallow 8's you could fit in many places if your interested?

I'm not too big on the center console idea. I have considered it, but I don't really like it.

Backseat out, wall. Only way to get loud unless you do some cuttin (blowthrough)

Well behind the seats? Thats pretty much the only place unless you wanna start cutting and modding stuff...

That was my first option. Is it a real pain to remove the seat in order to do that? And how much room is there behind my seat?

Not much. A tape measure could probably yield more accurate measurements though.

Hahaha. I like that idea.

i couldnt stand subs under the rear seat not very much output and lows were lacking

And to daboy, I guess you're right. I just don't want to take my seat out and everything and then be like oh hell I can't put a sub back there. Do you think there is enough room for a shallow mount or whatever it's called?

what year is it? I have a 1999 and there is plenty of room under the rear seat to do a downfire or up fire box.

Theres room, it just doesnt sound that great. Even with polyfill

It's an 02. I already have 2 subs in a downfire box. I just like bass a little too much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif so I'm trying to get more. And what about installing another box between my existing one and my front seats? Has anyone tried that?

If I'm picturing my friend's extended cab correctly when I did his subs (under seat box but I mounted the amps to the rear wall). You should be able to fit some shallow mounts back there, pending on your box. If you build the box, with the proper measurements, you'll be fine. Trying to find a prefab may be difficult as it does need to taper pretty thin at the top. Don't quote me on anything here, just going off slight memory.
