    Hello!
    I recently purchased a 2019 Tacoma double cab. I have 2 12 inch kicker comp s's.
    I was wondering if anyone knew any companies that sold enclosures for them, so that I can put them behind the back seats. I have been looking everywhere and cannot seem to find any for 2 12 inches. I would absolutely hate to get rid of them..... BUT, with that said, if there is not a way to put them in, I would gladly sell them to get new subs that would fit!
    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    Your going to have a hard time fitting them behind the seats. I would sell them and get some shallow 10s. Most people run a single or dual 10s depending on how much rear storage you want to loose.

    You can fit 1 10" behind the rear driver's side seat. Or 2 10's behind the passenger side rear seats.

    The cabs are small, 1 10" will be plenty for rich, clean bass.

    10s will be more than enough. I'm running one 8 in the factory box and it's enough.

    Any links for a shallow 10 box? I was going to buy a comp10 kicker sub but wanted to make sure I got the right box first.

    JL Audio actually makes a 10" single stealth box but it's not just the box.

    Mr Marv is known in TW for good boxes, he designed and built mine and it's super nice. check here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/members/mr-marv.1009/

    Mr marv is the real deal. Solid real wood boxes lighter and stronger then MDF 3/4, no silicone just perfect boxes. 831-383-0308. He is a cabinet maker by trade and does the tacoma boxes on the side for fun. I just ordered one. But off the shelf ground shaker makes good enough boxes but generic. You really need to pick a sub then match it to the box that u can fit. Pretty much all dual sub boxes have from 1.30 to 1.40 cubic inches for 2 subs so check the sub specs to see if .75 square inches of space and around 5 inches and under mounting depth and you'll have a good candidate for a set up

    i have his 13tw5 box with the amp rack and it's tight. good combo in the truck but floor & ceiling sound deadening highly recommended or you won't get even half way up on your sub.

    NEVER GET RID OF SUBS YOU LOVE. I had
    ( way back in the day) 2 RockFord Fosgate 18” SPP PRO SERIES 4 ohm. These were at the time the best money could buy $1,000 back in 1991. I wish I still had them the would rival most of today’s subs still. He’s the point. I wish I never ever ever got rid of them. Impossible to find. I built my own box. Why can’t you look up the specs and find out your:
    SUB SIZE
    MAX POWER AND RMS
    OHMS
    PORTED,SEALED OR FREE AIR
    AND THEY REQUIRED CUBIC INCH OF SPACE AND BUILD IT YOURSELF.

    USE PARTICLE BOARD AND CAULK ALL CORNERS. THEN CARPET EXTERIOR AND INSTALL SPEAKER GRILLS AND CALL IT DONE
