Yer looking for whats called "truck riders". They are ideal for what you want. My best guess to find them is fleabay.

I recently put a 6.5 inch enclosed Bazooka subwoofer hooked up to a 200 watt amp behind my bench seat. Everything fits fine with no problems, all for about $105.

 I was thinkin one of those Bazooka tubes...
I have a brand new Pioneer amp I need to install under the seat...
is there room back there for the 8in version? and... which model tube is that - obviously the one that isnt self powered...whats the ohms and all that stuff so I can tell someone else when I get one installed...you dont want me doin it...I stick to metalwork - not electric stuff...

I do know that you want a "Wedge type" box. That is the kind that fits in our cabs the best. Since we have so little room.

How does that 6.5" tube sound?  I like the idea of a 6.5. 

OCS didn't have any reviews of that product, yet.
