Seems every under-the-rear-seat xcab setup I see lately allows the subs to hit the bottom of the seat. Structure there or not, that cannot be good on the speaker, or performance.

I dont understand why people like firing into sound deadening material anyway (seat foam), seems downfire would be the best way to go in that situation. Up-fire would probably be my last choice for firing position.

im not gonna fire up or down im planning on firing the 10s toward the front

Then plan on lifting the seat if you're going forward...and plan on have the woofers kicked if anybody gets back there.

Hopefully they do it so that they can get more female passengers.

I like it already.

And I like how you think.

I have always downfired-best way to go IMO

I have a foward facing port though......I find it most tantalizing to my ears

Let me try and clear this up for the last time

I have built these subwoofer enclosures in the extra cab trucks for 20 years now;

Since the first Chevy one came out (can’t count how many I have done)

I have also built countless down fire boxes in the same trucks

I normally have 2 to 4 inches between the seat and subwoofers; I have a full set of jigs (cut patters with the proper distance) The truck in the picture is one of my coworkers, the original box was made for 2-12” subs with deep magnets After blowing a sub (no easy repayment available) I just cut a new top for 4-10” Subs (added to the top on the 2-12” box)

SO GIVE ME A BRAKE!!!!!!!

I said in the earlier post the (you can make the height of the box lower if needed

NEXT:

For the down fire issue

Why do we down fire??

To load and control the bass wave

This can be accomplished by loading the driver in ANY Direction, Back, and Side and yes even up into the seat (has the same type benefits)

So how much space do you have with your down loaded box to the floor (for the Sub????

How much air space do you have in the down fire box?????

Which I have stated I have built over and over….

Why do I build the up loaded box ?????

For the Air Space !!!! And you get more mounting depth for deeper subs. WOW

That’s why the four 10” Subs work so well: with this design you get ALL the available air space (no loss of space due to the counters of the floor)

Wrong time of the month? Nobody was flaming you so I'm unsure as to why you have all this hostility...some have stated differing opinions.

Not to mention you didn't say that it was a coworkers truck at first...and it is clearly obvious that the bottom of the seat does rub on those subs.

Here's a few pics of my custom, downfiring box...have 1.5" of clearance for the subs

Here is a pic of what you can do behind the seat (sorry for the crude photo...didn't feel like taking out the seat just for one shot).

I know it's not subwoofers, but here is a pic of the door comps

And...some pics of what you can do with a Dodge Nitro (the wife's ride)
