I had a box built that fits behind the walls of the club cab. There is a big open space in each of the walls. The box is 4.25" deep and extends down into the well below the seat level. It totaled .36 cu ft. inside measurements. The face is larger that the hole in the wall so I can mount it to the walls w/ 1" angled steal bars. It's extremely secured, doesn't rattle. I had to use 1/2" MDF (vs. 3/4") to get the largest internal volume possible. There is less than 1/4" behind the unit before you get to the outside wall of the truck. It takes EXTENSIVE cutting of the wall to fit the box (12" x 12" hole!)
I have drawings of it if you have a fax.

I can help with the '97. I had custom sub boxes built from my design at
.36cu ft, that are totally concealed. I'm running a pair of MTX Thunder
5000's in them. They are paralleled at 300Watts RMS from a SoundStream
amp.
A shop in Dallas built them to my spec. The boxes were $150 for the pair,
and the speakers were another $150 for the pair. Pricey, but incredible
sound!

I've always wanted a sub under the seats in the back of my club cab. My
dream system was two kicker solobarics and amp mounted in a custom
enclosure under the seats.
REALITY
The kickers are pricey. The other day i found a Jensen G.R.I.P 8" that
uses .4 cubic feet (kickers=.33), the price is 65 so i think i'm gonna try
it. Has anyone completely replaced the storage boxes?? please contact me.
I know Glenn W. has a kicker in one of the storage boxes. so there is
enough room.
Questions I have...
1. under the storage box there is the metal floor of the cab. Can i leave
the metal exposed as part of the box (with sealing/matting/noise reducer)
or do i have to fit particle board to the contors as part of the box?
2. Has anyone know anything about the jensen G.R.I.P series. I know that
jensen isn't the best name around. The 8" can take 125w RMS (375 peak) and
has a max SPL of 93db at 47.72 hz. Any info experience with this line of
speakers will be welcomed. I probably cant afford the amp to power them
anywhere near 125w rms, so i won't be pushing them to thier limits. :>>
experiencing the smell of fried voice coil once is enough.
I have some box building experience. I built a box to go with a 12" duel
voice coil sub a friend gave me for my home stereo.
Any help is greatly appreciated. mm
