As far as mounting 2 12" subs in a good qaulity box, unlike the garbage wood ones on ebay that don't fit right, you will have to mount your amp somewhere else unless you get a custom made set up under your seat. Anything is possible but you definitly want it to sounds good. That Fox Acoustics enclosure is a great one from what I hear and read (i believe it is the one on the first page in the pic). I really like the idea of mounting them behind the back seat but it makes me think the amps might get too hot back there which could possibly cause a major problem??! I would actually like to know more about that so if you guys who did that posted a response that would be great! I had a JL Audio amp and that thing was very powerful and never really heated up, it barely got warm but as far as the wiring that makes me think it may be a bit of a hazard wedged behind the seat. Great set-ups though guys! I guess just be creative about where to put your amp or throw it under one of the front seats!! All amps are different sizes...

I have an amp system wedged behind the back seats.
I also have 2x12" Punch subs, in a Fox box underneath the rear seats.
I have also done the "flip seat bracket" mod. This allows me to quickly unhook the vertical back seat section and lay it flat. I can then get quickly to either any problems with my rear bulkhead mounted amps, or sort any potential fire problems.
My amps don't appear to get that hot though so it's not a problem.
As for the flip rear seat mod, there is more than enough clip sat deep into the bracket so as to not cause any potential problem from a seat collapse in an accident.
The sound is as good as I want it with plenty of hard hitting bass.
Unfortunately, I cannot post up any pics as my limit has been reached on this crazy site????
Hope this helps?
Al.

I also have the FoxBox (sealed) with two Kicker CVR DVC 12s and it is far better than my old Probox (Plexi-top) with Kicker CVR DVC 10s

Those boxes will kill your subs because the cones will kiss the bottom of your seats. Thats why the newer ProBox and FoxBox have its subs recessed.

True but how many who would buy a box like that would think or know to do such a trick.
