Default Updates Leveling kit/Subwoofer

So i ended up wiring the sub and found a box that was compact enough to mount in between the two seats. Yes, even with a 12".

However..... I just can't come to terms with the way it sounds, its too little thump for me and if I tune the bass any louder it starts to sound like s#% probably because the box its so small.

So i guess i will be upgrading to a bigger box, and maybe just go with a 15" speaker.

Anyways here is the current set up, its not mounted or anything because I am not going to keep that box:

So i guess when i do find the right set up I will update again. I just dont want to have a square box sitting on top of my tiny back seat. I want something more custom than that
------------------------------------

Now let's go to the leveling kit =D

I most definitely like the way the lift looks:


However..........Now I will need a 1" lift in the back to even the truck out( my leveling kit was a 2.5" spacer). But i guess that's no biggie.

are you 4x4? 2.5 should have leveled it out perfectly.

I see you have a kicker sub. I think I got the same one just a 10 inch. had trouble finding a small box that had enough cubic feet inside. ended up getting an mtx thunderform enclosure that works great. If you wanna keep your box small and still get great sound your best bet would prob make a fiber glass enclosure.

Jkeaton I'm not a 4x4. I measured the front and back from the street to the top of the wheel well and I have about a 1 inch difference.

Italian that is a good lead i will look into it, and cheeseburger that's a nice set up, how did you mount it ?

its between the back seats fits a kinda tight too so it doesnt move. i can still even use my back seats. im very happy with it. oh and if u mount it with the port on the bottom it hits the lows really well. they do have some smaller boxes too. but its was an awesome quality box.
