kam311 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well a better amp and subs would be a good upgrade in the future, but really man your not going to find enough airspace under the back seats to hit hard, the box is what will make the biggest difference. The bad thing is there are only a few ways to get that airspace and most of them don't involve that back seat haha Quote so far...

kam311 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah but I'm talking about total airspace, a ported boc for 2 normal sized subs (not slims) USUALLY needs at least 1.5-2.5 cubic feet per sub... It also depends on the sub, but I don't know of many that need less than 1.5ft^3 airspace in a ported box, and there is definatly not 4 cubes under the seat Quote so far...

Supercharged DCs Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'd do 4 SA 8s in a custom ported box under the seats... Quote Bassless once again.

kam311 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'd do 4 SA 8s in a custom ported box under the seats... I still think that even for 4 sa-8's that's a little too small. Maybe two 10's but idk. I took the seats out of my quad cab haha. You can maybe do that too and build a box for two bad ass 10's back there and make the box short enough where you can sit on it still. Quote so far...
