12" help!!

[Z71RedNeck]

I have access to a 12" sub and an amp for free. My truck is a 97 ext cab . Any ideas on how to make this work? I do not think a box for that sub will fit under the seat.

It depends on a ton on the 12. What is it exactly/

Here are the specs. I was thinking of a box that ent behind the driver seat and underneath the back seat. I am very new to this and that is about the best way I can come with to do it. Noone ever rides behind me so losing that room is not a big deal.

i just set mine on the backseat. it moves around alot but other then that it is fine.

1.25 and 5 11/16" shouldn't be a problem to put under the rear seat of an NBS. :)

Place it in the center of back seat for now you just might like it there.

I was thinking of maybe building a box/center console for the back seat. I dont really want the speaker to show do to the fact that I have dogs that ride back there. So the plan was a down firing box that comes up from the floor board and over the seat. The sub would be down firing onto the seat and I am not sure how that would sound.Any ideas on that? I could have the sub maybe up firing with a git-r-done speaker gaurd on it.
