    Has anyone had any luck with installing a sub? I pulled my 10” scosche powered sub out of my old car but trying to find a place to hide it without using up a seat any suggestions?

    You can do 8" under the rear seat. A few members have done it. They made a fiberglass enclosure. But shallow mounts are the only other way to go without using seat space.

    I built the box myself to spec for the 2 JL subs. No build thread on it.

    I will look for the 8" thread. It is in the audio sub forum.

    I purchased a shallow box that goes behind the rear seats and put in 2 JL audio shallow mount subwoofers and I was really surprised by how good they sound and how much bass they can produce. I also went ahead and replaced the head unit and all the other speakers and it is by far the best sounding system I have ever put together. would be happy to post what I installed if anyone is interested. Also I added sound dampening on all of the doors and behind the subwoofer. A great resource is the taco tunes website

    This is very similar to my setup except I removed the plastic backing from the rear seats to reduce any vibration.

    I made my box shallow enough so I could keep them on. Store enough truck parts in the garage already.
