Default Possible to fit a sub in a Reg Cab?

Evening guys,

It's official, just bought my grandfathers 2002 Dakota Sport Reg Cab, only 40,000km's

Just a quick question, never owned a truck before. I'm currently driving a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP - has transmission problems and a cracked head gasket, so it's time for a new vehicle.

I have a Rockford Fosgate P2002 Amp with an Infinity 102.7W 10" Sub which I would want to transfer to my truck. The truck is completely stock, I just wanna tint the windows, put in a CAI and maybe straight pipe it, I dunno, but my first job will be to put in my sub.

Will it fit though? It's just a Reg Cab but I would still wanna have the passenger seat free for *****...cats.

If it will fit, where the hell would I put it haha?

Cheers guys.

I have a regular cab, and I haven't checked behind the seats yet to see how much room there is, but you can normally fit a 10" sub in regular cab pickups behind the seats provided you use a wedge-shaped "truck box". You could probably fit two of them, if you want to use up all or most of your floor space behind your seats.

Your sub will work in sealed boxes as small as .53 cubic feet, with an ideal sealed box volume of .75 cubic feet, and it has a top-mounting depth of 4-3/4".

Here is an example - http://www.crutchfield.com/p_777BB10...er.html?tp=127. The dimensions are:

28-11/16"W x 13-11/16"H x 6-15/16"D1 x 5-9/16"D2

With an internal volume of .74 cubic feet (after taking your sub's displacement into account, you should still at least meet the minimum airspace requirement of .53 cubic feet).

It has a maximum speaker depth of 4-15/16", so your sub would fit (with 3/16" to spare).

You would have to measure behind your seat to see if that would fit of course. You can also build your own.

Thanks for the replies guys. I hope it fits. If the one I have now doesn't fit, I guess I could buy a smaller one and hope that one fits.

Cheers!

I made A box to fit a 10 behind the seat of my single cab R/T a few years ago. I mounted the speaker as low as possible and extended the sealing surface out by about 3/4" and let the box run completely across the width of the back panel with a false panel made inside for the port. It worked out pretty good. I used that and 2 sets of infinity components in the doors and rear pillars. Hard N Loud.
