 Subject: 12's in a reg. cab
IP: Logged
Message:
I was wondering if anyone has been able to fit a 12" sub behind the seats of a regular cab dakota. I've got a 2003 SXT with just one 10" behind the passenger seat and the seat had to be pushed up pretty far to get it to fit and passengers are always complaining. I want to get an Alpine Type-R 12" but I have no idea how I'm going to make it fit. Maybe a custom center console enclosure, but that might be beyond my skill level. Any ideas? Anyone?

its hard to do, but i did it i had 2 Xplode 12s behind my seats. however, it was in an 87 and i dont know what the room difference is between mine and yours. i made the box 8"s deep at the bottom and about 3"s at the top. im only 5'9" so i had some play with the seats.
but, i got rid of everythin and started over. now have 2 solobaric 10s, and with them i got about an inch back in my leg rooms. if i were you, i would look into some good 10s, or build the center console inclosure for the 12s.

put it behind your seat, it fits better. you have more leg room on your side. I had 1.21 cu. ft. of airspace after building mine. my seat was comfy too.

you can probably fit them jus whatever you do do not put subs facin up they sound berry bad. and i dont know if you already have the subs but you can get verry good sound out of 10" subs. just get them with a good rms power and at amateur lever there is not much of a differance. i have a friend that has some punch p3 that handle 500 rms at 4 homs with a doble coil and they work like magic.

Well, like i said before, i've already got a 10" kicker comp vr in there now and i'm running 300 watts RMS at 2 ohms to it (which is what the sub is rated at too) and it sounds okay, but what i'm looking for is the better frequency response that 12's have. I think the set up is going to be the Alpine Type-R 12" and the Alpine MRD-M500 amp that will do 500 RMS at 2 ohms (900 max). I'll probably end up doing a fiberglass enclosure behind the passenger seat just to make the most efficient use of the space I have.

I have a single 12" behind my seat and only need about an 1" on seat loss.
I could build you a box setup for pretty cheap.

Well, I don't have any problem building a box for myself, but what were the dimensions on the box? And what kind of sub was it? The mounting depth on a Type-R 12 is 7".
