I just installed my JL Audio XR components and i need some bass to go along with them. I wan to a do a 10" sealed to replace the center seat but keep the center console. who here has done a setup like this and if you have could you post up some pictures of your finished product.

I dont have a center seat sub BUT have a 99 with an under the rear seat box if you want to see pix!

 

there was a write up in the tech section over on pavementsucks.com about the jl center console box

 

I did just what you are looking for. Can't remember the exact dimensions, but if you're skilled enough to build your own box I'm sure you're compitent enough to take your own measurements. Fits in like factory now!

 

Ahhh very nice, and the seat still looks useable too. I actually dont care if the seat is useable or not. how much airspace were you able to get out of your box? And to respond to gotstacks, the rear seats are packed with 2 amps, audio control matrix and the carputer.

 

I think I did a rough calc aroun 1.2 cuft. I put a bunch of insulation in it to take up some space because the alpine Type R I have in there wants 0.8 cuft. If I were to do it again I would make the sides a little smaller so it sits down flush with the rest of the seats, but as it is, there is still good padding ontop of the box. Had a girl sitting in the middle on a 5hr trip and had no complaints, she liked the bass though

 

do you have the subs face sitting directly on the floor?

 

I would assume its probably about an 1" or 2 off the floor.

 

so would i just looking at it though it looks that its flush with the floor.

 

it's sitting 2" off the floor because the sub moves out 1.5" at full power.

 

that looks very nice i have been trying to figure out how to build it is that for a 12" or 10"?

 

i would like to see some pics of that box... ive been trying to figure something out that doesnt stick out past the seats so i dont lose any leg room. TIA

 

I bought a 10 inch sealed sub that bolted right where the stock middle seat would go, the arm rest / console bolted right to it. The stock seat cover slid over the sub and it looked completely stock until you tried to sit on it or you turn up the bass. I used it for ten years in my old 3/4 ton dodge v-10 4x4 then when that got totaled I got a 01 diesel quad cab and bolted right in. JL AUDIO makes it and it is a solid well built piece

 

I just bought a sub box on e-bay from hot boxes. JL audio is the best, but pricey.

 

I think I paid $500 or so for mine ten years ago. Goes in smooth looks good and has been cranking bass for years.
