Exclamation 02-08 Ram 1500,2500 and 3500 Sub Box and Seat lift kit!!

Hey everyone. My name is Doug Walker. I am a 3rd Gen. 1500 QC owner. I was tired of the prefab sub box world false advertising air spaces and stereo shops telling me no one makes a good sounding prefab box for a 10" or 12" sub woofer or a dual box for either that really sounds good. On top of that, if you do install one of the crappy sounding boxes, you will lose all of the storage room under the seat because the storage compartments are full of the speaker box and can not be used any more. I have developed a prefab box and a lift kit for the rear seat that has enough air space for that low teeth rattling bass and a more comfortable seating position for the passengers. Most of the prefab boxes on the market only have around .35 cubic feet. They advertise .55 or .65 cubic feet of airspace, but that is using the exterior dimension not the interior dimensions. I designed this system for a single sub and gives .90 cubic feet. Most sub companies 10" or 12" recommend .55 to 1 cubic feet. The closer to 1 cubic feet the better the sub will work. This is designed for a shallow mount sub. The ones I know for a fact will work is the Pioneer, Pioneers Premier line and the Sony Xplode shallow mount. Any sub that uses 3-3/8" or less mounting depth. These are pics. Of the prototype. The actual production boxes will be covered in gray or black carpet. The Seat risers will be painted black and had end caps on them I am waiting for some of the final pieces to put into production and will post pics. Of the finished product as soon as they come in. The first production unit will be available on ebay around 02-05-09. My email is drw33079@gmail.com email me if you would like a pricing list and how to let me know if you want to order one. I will also send out pics. Of the finished product to everyone who asks for them later in the next couple of weeks. I will start out taking orders then posting them on ebay. When the posting is going to be listed for your item I will send out an email to the individual who made the order. These kits will be made to order in the beginning and then a full blown web site for this product and full blown production will be put into place. Email me with any questions or coments regarding this new product. I can email more pics. It would not upload any more pics. I would like everyone to take a few minutes to check this out and send me an email to my personal email listed above for feed back. So far I have had really good feed back on other forums.

Thanks, Doug Walker.

Default Seat lift and box.

All of you are right. There are other boxes out there. Some people would rather use those other boxes, but mine is the only one that allows the storage bins to still be used. The kit only takes 30min. to an hour to install. Is that not worth the extra storage space??? If there is a company that makes a box to go under the front seat I can bet you the price of this kit that it will not sound any thin gclose to as good as this one. All of the others that go down in to the storage areas still do not have the air space needed to pick up the low bass. If you ar elooking into a ported box, just remember, a ported box needs to be bigger than a sealed box to be just as affective. Prices: Introductory price of $125.00 for the kit. the single 10" or 12" complete kit will sale for $175.00. I will be doing ebay until my web site is up and running. This will give me the seller and you the buyer some added security by using pay pall.
Thanks, Doug Walker.
