Default Sub Box under captain seats.

Does anyone know if they sell sub boxes which are meant for under the captain seats? The sub will obviously be a shallow mount, perhaps a 10" at most if not less, i searched online, but couldn't find anything.

Most people modified their center console, however, personally i think the subbox would be easier and faster, since all you gotta do is just put the sub in the box, then under the seat and route the wire.

If anyone has a link please post it, i would appreciate that, if no one makes them, then i guess i will have to make my own

Just build your own, very simple especially if its sealed, will be cheaper and better built to. Why not use the cab space behind you for a box, im running 2 12's behind ma head

Thanks for your input, well i don't know, i would rather have it hidden under the seat, it also shouldn't take that long to make, essentiall just a box with couple of holes in it, to secure it in place i will probably put some weights inside or make an 'L' bracket.. if anyone has done that post some pics!

I bought a alpine stealth type sub woofer, it really very compact and produces a meaty low sound, just enough to fill up the bass.

Sweet, not bad at all. I will probably stick to pioneer/boss subs, i was thinking of throwing 2 10" or 2 8", just to get the entire sound system pumping.

Thanks! I will message you the dimensions later on, i want something which i can just put right under the seat. Appreciate your help, and why not any of those brands? I was thinking of probably pioneer, with pioneer amp and deck.

They are just very low quality, the sq will be bad, they wont last and theyre built horribly. Sundown audio is my personal favorite, little more pricey but for what you get its totally worth it, you can get an e-12 for around 100, or audioque hds212 for 85, also a great woofer, pioneer is good to though.
