Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I dont feel like relocating the gas tank and the only place to put some subs is under the seat
I need some ideas, I don't really know anything about audio stuff

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

there was a sub-way bag and 3/4's of a sub sandwich under my seat when i got the truck;)

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I dont have it
but i heard if you do it
under the passenger seat is the way to do it

under the driver seat gets annoying I ve heard

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

prob pretty mediocre...

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I'm putting an 8" RE8 with an alpine mono amp and a four channel amp to power the fronts under mine.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I`ve never found a whole sub under my seat,but did find about 1/2 of one of my helper didn`t eat and stuffed under there.I told him I`d fire him the next time he stuffs trash under my seat.Took care of that problem.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I put a 6" Bazooka Tube that is the dual voice coil type and I put it under my seat in the middle and under the passenger side is the head unit and uner the drivers seat is the amp and I put two 3 1/2s in the dash in the center. It really sounds good and it is totally hidden. Plenty of bass and sounds really good. I have had people in it that didn't know what I had and thought I had some 10's behind the seat.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I've never measured, how much room do we have under the bench seats?

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

just enough to stuff a 10" kicker comp shallow mount ;)

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

im throwin 2 12's kenwood shallow mount under my seat powered by a kicker amp im gonna be beating down the block

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I think the JLAudio has the smallest mount dept but it has been a few years.
Hey the girlfriend will like it !! Ohhhh Awwww.he he he

LOL

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

yessirrrrrr

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

OK guys, now why stuff 10lbs of monkey crap into the proverbial 5lb bag? The way I see it, the Blazer tank relocate under the bed serves as a solution to multiple problems. First, for all of us who still burn "Heaters" :smoke: (And have loose gas caps like me and my K10...) it eliminates the potential for a real life flame job :devil: down the side of the truck after discarding said heater upon finishing your drag...and Lord help you if the tank is cracked or corroded & starts to leak...fumes = booms! :waah: Second (And you need to put your serious face when look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself this important question): :tms: Who really wants to be driving around town with 15+ gallons of extremely flammable material sitting less than 6" behind them?? The way I see it, by taking the extra time, putting in a little effort, and moving the tank out of the cab you can effectively double your fuel capacity, quadruple your safety factor, and infinitely improve your noise factor. :metal: Finally, for the young guys (And us older who are hard of hearing) the space freed up from moving the tank frees up more space that can be put to use holding more amps, more speakers, & more subs which all = more sounds!
:gi:
Just a thought.

"Why Build It If You Can't Drive It?"

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

people would do that, but alot dont have the money, and its perfectly safe if you drive careful.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

i agree with bowtie

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

i still dont agree with the safety issue theres really isnt much difference when u see the other tanks along side the bed is there? or slip tanks the farmers and riggers have?? anyways I have an older rockford 8 under seat of my truck and at first i had put some blocks under the seat for it but ated that so i just cut the box down till it fit under and then made a little cage for the sub for my "bigger" passengers and all was solved mind you i am positive the box is no where near the needed air for it but it still sounds better than one old dash speaker

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I want to say Pioneer had a sweet ass little setup a few years ago. It was a small box ( mail box size, maybe) that held a row of several 5-6 inch subs, in a custom box. It was engineered to produce the sound of a pair of 10s (think bose wave radio sort of killer package). Talking to a car audio friend of mine says it does live up to it's word though.

Shallow mount boxes though, dont sound as good as normal boxes. Maybe an 8 or 10 inch sub in a large, but shallow box would have enough volume inside (and ported right) to get the sound of a bigger box.

Bazoka tubes are awesome, their small, and are ported and built right, out of the box. Myself, I'll be running a 2nd-gen Escalade sub, their self enclosed 8-inch subs from Bose I wanna say. Though they tend to be hard on Amps, we shall see where it fits.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

Yeah same for me i just dont have the money to buy a tank

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

At a local cruise-in, there was a guy there with a stock tank and a bazooka tube standing up next to it on the driver's side I believe. He had taken the case apart and cut it down 2-3" but it fit and looked pretty slick. He said it sounded good as well but I never heard it.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

how much do the bazookas cost
usually

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

any bass tube sounds horrible IMO i would waste my money

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I have done many truck type boxes under the seats with the sub pointed up and the tweets, mids and ports pointed out oward the front of the truck and it sounds great~! I put the amp in the middle of them. You just have to take the seat out to get them in and if your seat springs are weak you might feel tham on a good bump.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

dont get one you will regret it

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

I have a Subwoofer from a Bose Acoustimass 3 System with a 125 Watt Amp under my seat.
The Port is directed to the back and I had to raise the seat a little with spacers.

I sure wish I could fit my Hifonics in there from my Renault. Probably blow out my windows though.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

First of all,the tank behind the seat is every bit as safe,if not safer(IMO),than the tank in the rear.The past four decades have proven that there have been few,if any,incidents as a result of having the tank in the cab.I`d be just as worried about rear-end hits (which occur more frequently)with a rear tank hanging below the frame.
The tank in these trucks is 21 gallons.Not 1/2 as much but 3 more gallons than a Blazer tank.
You gain alot of behind the seat area,but not enough for the spare tire that was removed from where the tank was installed.
So,it`s a trade-off and a matter of personal opinion,preference,and priority.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

Here is my setup. It is a 6" Bazooka tube and I just put it in the center and I have the factory bench seat and it is about 2 inches from the bottom side of the seat. I also put my deck under the passenger side of the seat and used a aftermarket boat housing and put the amp on the drivers side. I put the antenna in the passenger side "B" pillar and it does good there. I put 2 4x6 speakers under the factory speaker hole in the dash. I have the factory block off plate on the dash so there are no signs of the radio. It really sounds good and has a really good sound to it. I have had friends think I have some 10's behind the seat. So I can listen to plenty of tunes, keep a stock look and leave the windows down and not worry about someone tearing up my dash. Also, the radio has a remote and I put a stick on outside mirror on the heater box below the dash and it makes the remote work great.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

That's slick. Where'd you get the floor mount for the headunit?

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

Boaters world.
It is made by sea worthy and it is just an under dash radio mounting kit.

Re: Who has Subs under their seat?
 

Sheesh, tough crowd! :thud: C'mon Bama, guys, that first post (Ahem..."Heaters" :smoke:, "Real Flame Jobs":devil:, ect.) was mostly my sarcastic side making a poor attempt at humor, that being said, heres another:

You are trying to upgrade/add components to your rig but are runnin out of space, right? Money is an issue so moving the tank or buying smaller components is out. The way I see it, that leaves you with a couple options :tms:, if you were bound and determined to fit those 12's under the seat you could (* Now I have to borrow one of our UK friend's terms), "French" a couple of mounting brackets or add a few spacers (NOTE: Phone books may be too unstable and lead to accident or personal injury) designed to elevate or RAISE the seat a couple inches, hence giving you additional clearance for your 12's (Or Bazookas!), then you bolt em in, and reinstall seat leaving you plenty of space for additional amps/cables/cd changer (Best of all you keep that undersized container of extremely flammable liquid snuggled up behind you in the cab!). :c2:

Speaking of phone books, I had a theory and wanted to test it out so I placed one on my stock seat in my 72, slapped on my 10x cowboy hat :ito: , and hopped inside the cab. I was able to sit comfortably and not bump my head so I am absolutely positive this just might work. But if not, then there is always option #2:

Remove seat, trace the subs outline on floor in chalk (I know you have seen CSI), take your sawzall and cut out said outline, "French" (* See above note) up a couple of brackets, mount your subs (Comes with option of using duct tape and scraps of blue tarp for in climate weather), reinstall seat & other components, and WALLAH! sweet sounds of music! :metal:

All that being said I agree with special-K:
"...it`s a trade-off and a matter of personal opinion,preference,and priority." :agree:

Except my cab tank hold 16 Gallons... :crazy:

Are you deliberately trying to be offensive or does it just come naturally?

It's not his fault, he is still a little upset they discontinued the Joe Cammel promotion 10 years ago 'cause he almost had enough for the tent.
