Well I found this smokin deal today at the perfect time considering I was going to do it anyways.

2 10" JL W3's in a fiberglass and mdf underseat box for 200

Heres a pic.


(sorry. ****ty cell phone pic

I'm going to refinish it. Would you guys recommend black to match or black and blue to match to paintjob?

Also. Is it possible to punt my amp on the wall behind the rear seat? If so how do I take the seat off the wall?

 

The pic isn't showing up. Did the guy make this box himself or was it built by a shop? Only reason I ask is because you could be buying a box that is made poorly. either way though the W3's are worth that alone so i guess you are in good shape! I would paint it to match your paint job (blue and black)! As far as the seat i am not sure, I have never taken one off before. I could only imagine it would be a few blots, maybe underneith somewhere.

 

tagged, sorry I couldn't help you with your question, but had the same inquiry. Was hoping to get my two 12's under the back seat and checked tonight on the amp local- my amp barely fits under the front seat, but would much rather have it in a more secure, out of the way place.

 

Helluva deal man.

 

The only thing that looks like it may be an issue is when the subs are thumping it might hit the under part of your back seat with this enclosure. You may want to look into that i had the same problem with a cheapo wood box I bought for my 03 ram when I had it. That will definitely ruin your subs if thats the case. Just looking out, don't want you to mess up your subs! If it does hit but you keep your back seat flipped up when in use you wont have a problem. I think that if you mount the amp behind the back seat you may have to cut a hole n the factory interior to get it as flush as possible but thats no biggie considering it will be stuff behind the seat. The other thing to watch out for is your amp over heating while stuffed away back there but that shouldn't be a problem considering newer amps are usually pretty good with the cooling systems. I'm just trying to give you some pointers from my own experiences. Good luck with everything though and I hope it all works out!!!

 

you should paint it like this...

 

That was the exact idea running through my head tuned!!

As for the subs hitting the bottom of the seat they seem to be fine. I fired it up and stuck my hand in there and they seem to have about 1/4" at full excursion (at least with what my amp is capable of) so hopefiully no issues there.

I'm new to JL and never really played with them much before. Are the w3v3s any good? they seem to hit pretty good but even on google I can't find muych info for their specs...

 

Match the pain job of the truck. Also that's a nice looking truck.

 

You remove the two bolts on each end of the bench then lift up on the seat. Then the two metal brackets that the chair latches onto you unbolt them, cut the insulation flip the brackets and reinstall. Then you can re-bolt the top section on so that when you lift up the bottom part about half way you can flip the rear section down to have access to your amps.

 

oh yeah, here is my much unappreciated DIY
