99 Silverado - Dual SA8 V2 Under Seat Enclosure


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I'm new here! My name is Josh. I figured I'd write up a little build thread of what I'm working on right now. I'm building an under seat enclosure for my ext cab Silverado to hold my 2 SA8 V2s. This is only the second box I've designed and built. I'm fairly new to audio. I've always spent my money on suspension before subs but I'm coming around now and finally getting some bass! I got all my numbers through the Torres calculator and I drew the box up on Sketchup. I'm not quite finished with the box yet. Should be done in the next couple weeks. And I'm waiting on buying a ct sounds 1400.1 to power these subs.

I'll start with the screenshots from Torres and Sketchup

Then I bought the subs on Black Friday. And I got a 5x5 sheet of 13 ply Baltic birch for the box.

The enclosure is 2 separate boxes with an amp rack in between. The 2 square holes are for 120mm fans to help keep any heat down from the amp.

I raised the seat 2" to accommodate the box.

Then finally got to test fit the box as one piece.

And this is pretty much where I'm at now. I have finished the feet. I'm gonna be putting a truck bed liner finish on the box after I smooth all the seams and screw holes. And hopefully I can get the amp soon so I can power this baby up and get some vids! Thanks for reading!

Thanks man! It's actually more comfortable now. Your legs sit at a better angle. Your knees aren't all in your jaw.

I have to move the hooks on the back of the seat too. The hooks still catch but the seat moves a little bit. I have to take the fabric and cushions out to do that though

Looking good fella! Where did u get the seat lifters from? Wasn't sure if there was a good sit online to order those off of?

I made the seat risers. Some 2x4x1/4 tubing that was cut to what I needed. They work perfectly, jus gotta move those hooks to make it fit like stock again.

I should be putting the bed liner on it this weekend. So the box will be finished. I still have to get the amp. I'm considering just getting an SAZ-1200D instead of waiting for the CT Sounds 1400.1.
