Default Has anyone put W3 10's in a ext cab

I have 2 JL W3 10's I want to put under my rear seat. I'm wondering has anyone done this and how did you get them to fit. I need the back seat functional. I placed one sub under the seat and it pretty much has no room for the box. Even if I could get one under the drivers side that would be alright also I don't need alot of bass just a little more than factory.

One of my cars had 2 JL10w6's in it with 2 500/ series amps. When I bought my truck, I was concerned that I would not be able to get the sound that I wanted because of the lack of space to build a system. After a lot of research and thought, I finally broke down and bought the JL stealthbox that is made for the truck. It came loaded with a 10w3 and fits nicely under the rear seat. It is very pricey, but I could not be happier with the sound. There is definately something to be said about a well made enclosure. I know there are some other companies as well that make a box that will fit, but I am a big fan of the JL product line. Also, since you already have your sub, you will just need the enclosure.

My enclosures are designed for the JL 10w3's. Check them out http://www.foxacoustics.com/ProductD...de=F150-210-04. There are some reviews on there from some members on this forum.

I currently have 2 old 12" MTX 6000 subs i've had forever but picked up a single 10" W3V3-8 and plan to pick up 3 more and run a large sealed enclosure and removing my bench.. I've always been a big fan of the w3 series for the price & sound quality out of those woofers!

That's a lot more than a country boy like me needs or wants I'm thinking about buy the 1 speaker enclosure from the fox above. Main thing is really what a decide to do for an amp and how much I really want to spend on the amp, the enclosure is only 30 dollars difference and I could put the jack in my tool box but not really sure I want to do that either.

I put a JL 10W3 in Joe Fox's single sub box in an '06 SCrew. I mostly listen to rock with some country/pop mixed in when the wife's in the truck. That 10W3 covers a very broad spectrum of music. You won't be dissapointed with 1 or 2 W3's in that foxbox. No seat lift either, which is nice. I have everything tucked away so it looks all stock, but you should see people's faces when I crank that thing up.

If you go with one sub use the JL 250/1 or a JL 500/1 for 2 subs.
