lwudarcki Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 proud new owner of an 03' silverado SS, as well as a new member to the forum. i recently had a ranger that i had my 2 square 12" kickers, how can i get them to fit in the back of my silverado? My quest has just begun and i have only asked one audio retailer and he said that if i were to put my speakers in my truck i would have to get a large box. however i don't want to compromise any aditional seating, i raised my concern to the guy and he said if i were to get a box that would fit under the back seat it would sound like garbage. i havent done much searching online but i have only been able to find sub boxes for circular subs. my origional idea was to buy a circular box and just cut it out to fit my speakers. ive also had the idea of building one from scratch, but last time i did that structurally it was a really nice box but the fabric i used didnt look so hot around the edges. does any one have any advice or suggestions?

cb2big4u Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Those L5s need some room to breathe. You in no way are going to be able to put those in your truck without sacrificing seating or they are going to sound like crap.

2001silverado364 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) You can make the Extended Cab back seat into two individual bucket seats and put the box in between or take out the whole back seat.

THATGUYCRUZ Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 You can make the Extended Cab back seat into two individual bucket seats and put the box in between or take out the whole back seat. Im glad you mentioned this. Ive actually been researching how to make two rear seperate seats but my searches come back negative. Any more info on this??? How would it be done? Has it been done? Do you know of any pictures of it done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001silverado364 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 You have to cut the rear seat in half and weld it back together, and then get it recovered. There's a how to somewhere, if I find I'll post it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb2big4u Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Man that looks great. Didn't think you were looking into doing that much to fit it lol. Sry. Sent from my Rezound using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have a high tolerance for things, but I think that's alittle too tacky. I've been wanting to get a good amount of bass in the ss too. Was thinking about raising the rear seat for a pair of good subs, or maybe leave the seat stock height and one good sub with enough airspace but idk about trusting just one sub on it's own lol. I don't wanna cut the bed to put subs in the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Maybe that box just needs some leather wrapping to tone it up?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THATGUYCRUZ Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Oh I would do a way cleaner looking box than that. Thats no big deal to make a box look likea consol the part im juggling right now is how to split my rear seat like that Edited April 20, 2012 by THATGUYCRUZ (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
