I want to add subs to my '03 double cab

I looked and can't find anything on this truck. I like my bass but it looks like there is no space to install a custom box. Does anybody know if it is possible or would I have to get rid of some stuff? Maybe I have to deal without it. I was thinking of modding the back seat to mave them forward or something like that. What is my best choice?

 

I believe it to be possible behind the back seats. You won't need to mod the seats themselves. You will need shallow mount subs and a custom box. MrMarv will eventually post here and give you more information, as I think he as built boxes for your model.

 

yeah, it is possible. Just check out my set-up in my gallerie. Let me know if you have ?'s

 

Thats looks pretty good but is that all the speakers you can install? I was hoping for some 10's. I guess I can attemp to build mine or find one. How does it sound and what speakers do you have?

 

I have an '04 DC available to me and upon my initial inspection it didn't look like I could get 10's back there. I have however read where a couple of guys say they have done it so I'm going to take another look and get some detailed measurements as soon as I can get my buddy to stop by again.

 

It sounds awsome! I love the sound of these pioneer subs. I didnt think it would be that great or big sounding, but man... I was surprised. 2 8" subs is plenty. Most of the stuff I listen too, the subs are at -3 to -7. yes, thats negative! lol...

 

So what model of speakers are your pioneer's?

 

I went to "supercrewsound.com" and got my custom box and subs. There the Premier TS-SW841D 8" shallow mount sub.

 

I am in the same boat with you Jalers. Moving the seat up would work to get some bigger subs behind there. I have actually seen a Taco that had subs UNDER the back seat. they cut under the seat and welded flat metal for MORE room. thats probably more difficult but would work.

 

I saw the supercrewsound box but it is more than what I want to spend and I had actually found that box with 2 good subs for $200 but I was to late.

 

8" subs have been known to surprise the crap outta people. Do not let the 8" sub thing scare you, matter of fact I listen to a car in a IASCA comp recently with 8-8" subs with 600wrms worth of power and it was friggin amazing, loud, deep and shook the crap outta the car. Matter of fact I am thinking of 4 8" subs in my next competition car. You do the 8" subs right and you will be in audio bliss.

 

Those Pioneers look pretty good, at $90 a pop they should be. Looks like I might be going with those.

 

I have an 8" JBL sub in the back of my 03 xtra cab and it sounds great

 

I have the same problem. I have an 01 DC, and it just looks like there is no room for anything besides those 8's.
This is one video that shows 2 Pioneer Premier 8" shallow mounts.

Thanks for that video. Sounds like I will be going with those 8's and now all I need is to take time to build the box. Could Evertaco23 tell me what thickness was the wood of the box you got?

 

Here's a box that will fit in the back of an 04 or down DC.

I got the same box that was just posted. Its from Supercrewsound.com. I bielieve they used 3/4" MDF. but you could use 5/8 or even 1/2", 3/4 is just stronger.

 

I saw that box but don't want to spend that much on the box unless I need to. I will attemp the build and if it don't work I will break down and get the box from Supercrewsound.

 

Cool. If you get it built can you take some pics and post them. Maybe I can copy off of yours if I decide to build one.
