iceman1575 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'm looking at buying a truck soon to replace my aging car. It's an '03 Silverado 1500 extended cab. I'm trying to decide how I want to go about with it. I've decided about 4 8's under the seat, but now I've seen videos of people installing 4 8's behind the seat, & I was thinking about combining both, if it would be possible (Amp placement would be decided later...possibly an insulated box inside the toolbox?). Would it be too insane to try something like that? I think it'd be interesting...Just thinking of ideas to keep the back seats in & still have bass... Quote POTATO!

I just don't know how they would work well together with different air spaces & separate boxes. Quote POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifted_silverado Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Good luck man, i have the exact year and model truck. It took every nook of space to fit 2 sa 8s and a zx1000.1 in there with the back seat in. Quote Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year. New build should be coming soon in a dodge cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99fullsizechevy Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well I'm sure you could build two boxes with identical net size and port tuning and you would be alright, one under and one behind the seat.. Tight fit tho.. Quote Laying frame soon.. System has to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tight fit tho.. Depending on subs being used, but i still doubt it. Even if you used 1/2 mdf or birch theres not enough clearence between the seat and rear cab wall, especially with the high surround roll on most "larger" 8s Quote Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year.

99fullsizechevy Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Make a box that has the same sitting demensions.. Brace it lie crazy, throw foam cover and wrap.. Seat with plenty of airspace And I'm using the under part of the rear seat to make an amp rack.. Which is gonna be tight.. So yea not alot of room.. Maybe raise the bak seat 1-2 inches? Edit my 99 has the interior as yours, minus different styling of the dash bezel, seat covers, steering wheel, and console Edited January 29, 2012 by 99fullsizechevy Quote Laying frame soon..

TeamHT Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I have the exact year, make, and model...I will never put the backseats back in. Man up Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman1575 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) I have the exact year, make, and model...I will never put the backseats back in. Man up Well, I wouldn't care to take 'em out, but I usually have my friends with me, plus my family sometimes. Also, if I ever meet a special lady friend, the front seat won't work because a custom console with a radio/scanner/CB/siren will go in the front middle... Plus it'd be interesting to see the look on their faces when they hear 8 8's & wonder where the fuck they are... Edited January 29, 2012 by iceman1575 Quote POTATO!
