you rais it so you can mount your subs under it.

should it be a problem to get two solo-baric L7 12s under there?

and do they sound like crap in a sealed box?

 

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

there is a guy who put some kickers in his silverado. IIRC the box was sealed and it sounded pretty decent

by the way, this is a 1995 chevy ext cab

well all my pics were from a 2003+ silverado but i beleive the way the back seat is constructed is the same if not very simular throughout most of the different body styles.

yeah, i'm pretty sure it's a lot harder.

anyone ever raised the backseat in a 95 silverado ext cab?

my brother raised his seat but his a 99 but he said it wasn't that hard, he might do mine if i need it.

if your 95 is like my dads 90 sierra it is prretty much impossible.

the seat pivots on a big steel bar that is mounted on the side of the cab.

you would have to raise that joint and i dont think it would happen without some cutting and welding.

so short answer i would say no.

well crap.

my local audio shop told me i could fit only VRs 12s but i doubt that.

anyone with that model truck know what my realistic sub options are?

 

[~Magick_Man~ 10+ year member]

well in my dads i crammed in a eu-700 in a .25 cube sealed box....

but you could probably get a pair of 8's in there.

the problem i ran into is depth, the box wasnt very tall or deep.

you could bring the box out further than i did, i just didnt want it to be seen at all so it could come out another inch or so

and if you ised 1/2" mdf instead of 3/4 then you might squeeze in some 10s

but again this is all assuming the space is the same as it is on my dads truck.

yea i already have 12s in there the CompVRs there mounting depth is 6-3/16"

the L7 12s wont fit, but i'm sure the 10s will (6-3/8" mounting depth)

will the L7 10s hit harder than my CompVrs with a kx1200.1?

If so, how?

We just got done raising the seat in a '05 SS 1 inch. It was fairly easy. We used 1" blocks.

We also did a glass bottom enclosure that netted us with 3.66cu^ft of internal displacement.

And what to do in 3.66cu^ft?

8 RE8's of course, ported tuned to 32. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Power them with a Zapco 1100.1Z and let them fly.

It's deffinatly our "loudest" system we've done under the seat of a chevy ext cab. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
