1998 f150 sub box
Hey everyone, my cousin gave me one of his old subwoofers and amp, but i need to get a box for the sub. It is a ten inch alpine sub that needs around 1.2 cubic inches of volume if it's ported. I will leave the specs in a link below. The truck i want to put it in is a 1998 f150 xlt extended cab. It has the seats that flip forward with the metal plates underneath. There isn't a whole lot of space under there so i want to make my own. If you can, post the specs of any builds you may have done. Any help is appreciated, thanks

The 00-03 boxes won't fit under the 97-98 back seat. Our back seats fold differently and have a brace going right down the middle of them. I just bought a custom made sub box from Rodney's boxes on eBay for my 98. I've been installing it the last couple days and so far love it. Ive only fired it up a couple times to make sure it worked because I'm not done with the install. The box is a true custom made sub box though. And from I can tell, he did a great job. I'm not sure if I am going to need lift blocks for the seat or not though. I'll have to get back with you on the clearance. I'll post a link up later.

Just a quick update on the box. It Fit! I don't have any pictures at the time, I'll have to get some when its daylight. I did have to buy some longer bolts for the 2 rear brackets on the back of the seat though. They were only like 6 or 7 dollars from home depot. I will post some better details and pics tomorrow for anybody interested. Quick thing to keep in mind though, he only makes a box for a single ten. Its all I wanted, but for any bass lovers it might now be enough.
