i built my own seat lift for my backseat actually. ha just used some L brackets and some wood. took about 2 hours to get it all together and looks good. i plan on painting them black to mathch the seat frame. i just finished building my custom box for 2 12" subs. i'll post pics up sometime soon. overall cost me about $25 in materials for the lift... so you say you already have a box? does it fit under your seat how it is?

they are very easy to install.. you can do your own and have it cost 5 dollars or less...it works fine just dosnt look all that good..if you dont need alot of lift then get longer seat bolts and a nut or 2 for each leg of the seat...spray paint them your carpet color and it will work just as whell


if your going with something like the cvx get a dc lvl 3 subwoofer, its cheaper and will sound better and be louder

ya the box i have is perfect for what i have but since the cvx is so much deeper ive been told it wont fit under the seat w/o some more custom work


but i have never heard of those dc subs
and they arent sold anywhere near me or else i would consider it

any other reccomendations?
i really like cvx though

I have a seat lift on my 03 f150 supercrew i think it was about 1inch and a half to 2 it was just wooden blocks that went under the place where u bolt the seat to the body. I put mine on myself with the help of a buddy it was pretty simple the only hard part was gettin the seat to get back over the box had to kinda jimmy it over it. I have 2 pioneer shallow mounts under there and i think they hit pretty good myself, good enough for what i listen to atleast. Theres a pic of it installed in my album.

you dont have the cubic footage for a lvl 4, they are required to be ported you CANT put them in sealed applications, and its too deep for what your wanting, get the lvl 3 put a good clean 600-1000 watts on it, clean is the key word, and it will pound hard and all day long


and sincity those are just the woofers i use, i have a closet full of audio stuff im not using right now my name "car audio junkie" is for real, lol
