So while I'm working on my 'big' stereo project, I needed to fab up something for a sub to go between the seats. I have the amp rack from my previous setup in there and had a sub box that held 1 8" on the tranny hump when I had my bench seat in. Now that I have my buckets in, I wanted a sub to go between the seats.

I had an old Alpine 10" laying around. This is no mega-watt, huge-voicecoil stomper sub. It's vintage (about 15 years old), only handles 100 watts and is for sound quality. I made a simple 1 cu. ft. (net) ported box out of 1/2" MDF. It fires against the floor. Ports face forward. For only getting 75 watts RMS, it sounds rather nice.

Very nice....show us more...what did/are you going to cover it with?

Sure, move it on over Capt. I'll cover it with short-pile black carpet soon. If I feel adventurous, I might add a pod to the top of it with integrated cupholders. That is something these trucks desparately need!

I agree, these truck need cupholders very badly! Very nice little project! What are your bucket seats out of?

SUX2BU99 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:08:35 pm »

Thanks. They are out of a late-90's or early 2000's S-series Jimmy/Blazer.

Wrapped it in carpet yesterday. Did it entirely without seams or cutting the carpet, except for some trimming on the bottom. It was a bit of a bear to do, but it's done.

Looks great, very nice work! So how does it sound?

SUX2BU99 · « **Reply #9 on:** July 18, 2009, 01:18:22 pm »

It sounds nice. It doesn't shake the earth or anything but it can pound out some decent jams on the right song. The cab is small so it doesn't take a whole lot to fill it up with bass. The 2 10's on a 45x2 amp in my commuter car is quite a bit stronger but this does well for what it is.

I will have to remember this thread when I get around the starting on the inside of my cab

I fabbed up an ABS cover to sit on top since the carpet I used is wayyyyyy to fuzzy and pulls apart much to easily if rubbed against. Drives me nuts. It stretches like crazy but has like 0 durability. Anyway, it's 1 piece and I heated it to bend at the angle I wanted. Rounded off the corners for a nice touch.

Where did you mount the amp? I am thinking of doing this as well. Would definitely like to do add cup holders as well.

SUX2BU99 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 16, 2011, 05:23:46 pm »

4 amps, an electronic crossover, a fuseblock and an Audio Control ESP-3 processor are mounted on an amp rack against the back wall.
