Default Single 8" Sub Box

How Do I fit an 8" Sub Box in my 1999 Ram 1500 Sport without taking out the storage bins behind the seats? I need them so that when i go to college in a year and a half i have room for extra luggage.
Suggestions?

well a company makes a box for under the rear seats, but if you don't want to lose that space there is a box that replaces the front seat section under the console, or you could build your own for that spot....

I built a box for a 10" sub that fits nicely under my passenger seat. I've been meaning to build another for under my drivers seat but haven't yet.... I have pics somewheres, been lookin for them...... I'll find them and post em here for ya if that interests you....

ok after some extensive searching on here (sub and box are too short to search, ended up finding the pics by searching 'passenger seat' lol) I found a couple pics

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ubwoofers.html

definitely nothin fancy but it does the trick, and I never hardly see the box... I did this one without removing the seat, but I think I'm gonna build a better one maybe this spring with the seat out

you could go maxx's way

or you could go mine...i could still install my storage bins if i wanted to..but i dont need em...the only down side of my set up is..the truck is no longer qualified as a bench seat and i cant fit more than two people in the truck..but it dont bother me much..and it sounds damn good

pics

mid install


finished:


now i know that i dont have the bins installed and the hooks for the bins are pulled but trust me..they can still be used

2 10 inch mtx road thunders in a quad bandpass mono block box..and its more than loud inside the truck!!!

notice the tall black thing standing on end to the left. That was suppose to be a box made for UNDER my back bench that hold two 10" subs, but it sticks out from under the seat about 5 inches.
