hidden sub enclosure 09 access cab (under rear seat)

just curiuos to see if anyone else has done this or if anyone needs some ideas when choosing a location and box for a subwoofer in an access cab. i havnt been able to find anything else like this on the site. i wanted a small sub and i needed to still have full function of the back seats for my dogs, this is my solution.

 

That is badass, I wish the picture was bigger. I have an 06 access cab so my backkseats are different. I wish I could do that with mine.

NICE

 

im somewhat new to tacomaworld, is there are a better way to upload photos from an iphone without emailing them to myself, downloading on the computer then uploading to the site, i dont get why the quality and size is so bad

 

Any chance you'd be willing to share the dimensions of that box? Or build another?

 

I would be happy share dimensions, it would require some carpentry skills becasue there is a couple angles and stuff. You would definatley need a table saw and a miter saw, preferably a sliding compund miter saw. But if youre willing to take a sawzall or grinder to the metal seat frame then ill give you dimensions for everycut. Also i didnt bother attempting to make a box for the passangers side because there is less space, even if the jack mount is removed. Or if your in no rush there is a chance i might make a bigger box in the future that replaces the whole seat frame, in that case you could have mine but that would probably not be for a long time, to many other mods in interested in

Here is how I did mine.

 

Thats sick chadderkdawg, kinda wish they never changed the access cab rear seats after 08

 

I've got access to a full wood shop and a dad who builds cabinets if I can't handle it myself. Just gotta get it done before he's retired and sells his big stuff like the table saw and radial arm saw.

I'd be really interested in the box specs sometime, thanks!

 

I should be able to draw something up for you tomorrow night, just to let you know my design only has .25 cubic feet of volume. I designed it for the rockford fosgate 8" shallowmount p3 punch, which called for ideal volume of .25

 

Is the seats different from the '12

 

im pretty sure 09-12 is the same 05-08 is different

 

so i drew up the sub box dimensions and measurments and notes for all the cuts. I screwed up one of the dimensions, it should read 16 inches not 16 1/2

 

Have fun!

 

Awesome stuff

 

I notice your box is at an 45 degree so how does it fit with the 90 degree storage space? Did you remove the storage?

 

Yes i removed the plastic storage bin and cut the metal seat frame. Where the floor meets the back wall of the cab there is a slight angle, probably 20-25 degrees about 5 inches up. I angled the back of the sub box 45 degrees to allow room for the speaker wires to come out of the back of the box. Heres a few more pictures that might help you understand how i did it

 

im going to use that design... what kind of sub you using??? whats the depth
