Has anyone done this yet?
Or am I going to be the first to explore this?
Looking to add to my JL 12w3v3-4 in my single cab.

Well you can lif the seat and try to get it to fit. Good luck though.

I actually think I have a design to fit Kicker L7 8" under the front seats. I don't have power seats, that maybe why. I'm going to draw them in Solidworks when I get a chance.

You will not be able to fit an L7 under a front seat

If somehow you can fit it under the front seat you need to remember that the sub needs at least 3 inches between the back of the magnet and the box. I tried to fit 2 12inch alpine type R's under the back seat of my 94 and had the same problems.

Usually the rule of thumb is half the diameter of the pole vent....ive never seena 6" pole vent before...

I was told this by the guys at onlinecarstereo. they said to make sure i had anywhere from 2 1/2 to 3 inches and thats what i have gone by since. Idk about the other way you mentioned, if it works then i can probably custom fit Type R's in my box.

They should stick to sales and leave the installation to the pros :-)

I like the thought of doing it but I have power seats so it's a moot point for me.

the only way i forsee this working is if you cut out the insides of the bottom of ur seat, or lift your seat a few inches...cool concept....just not something i see working...stick with what works, under the back seat (extended cab), behind the seat (regular cab)


....if it ain't broke, don't fix it....

X2^^^^ again I have power seats but, I even tried to measure for a powered sub and no go. That MIGHT be an option for you though.:dunno:

I realize you're trying to utilize what you have. I just thought I'd throw it out there just in case.
