Default Dual 12" kicker comp

I need some help. About a year ago I bought 2 12" kicker comps in just a standard universal box and now I have my truck that I want but don't know how hard of a crossover it'll be to switch to a new box and installation. What kind of box should I build? And if you know measurements that'll help too. I just totally lost when it comes to the subs. And also if anyone had experience with these exact subs and how they should that'd help too, thanks!

In your case (and mine) I would just get a premade box designed to fit your truck

Any idea how much they cost or wear to get them? Also for 12"s you think I'd need to get a back seat lift kit or no? I'm just totally lost

Hmmm, there are lots of variables. First you need to make sure the subs will even fit under the back seat. Depending on what type of truck you have, you may be able to put them behind the back seat. If they dont fit, either a back seat lift is in order, or you may have to go with shallow 12's or drop down to 10's. Im telling you, two 10's with decent wattage has alot of punch and deep bass. I can only imagine 12's.

I would be fine with getting different subs(10"s) but if I could use the 12"s than that'd be my first choice.

Is your truck a supercab or crewcab? That will make a difference. I had a supercab and a 10" fit perfect. A 12" would have required a wider box that would have stuck out from under the front of my rear seat. I also know that 1 - 10" with the sub amp gain turned all the way down was more than enough bass for me.

It's a super crew. You have just a single 10?

I might just have to go with that then. Gotta sell my subs now! Haha you think a single 12 would it underneath the rear seat?

Take one out to your truck..... it should give you a decent idea if it will fit.
