Hey, are you going to be able to keep the top part of the factory seat? I have thought about making something that has a single downward facing 10 inch under there. But since it will only be one sub making the box smaller so that I can keep the factory arm rest to keep some sort of factory look to it. You know?

 

That would be cool and I've thought about it, but I can't. The box is too big but it would probably work for a smaller box.

 

Yeah I have wondered about maybe running it all the way forward as to not be able to use the cup holders anymore. And building in cup holders into the box. and having some sort of top thing. IDK. Lots of ideas. Just to much money, not enough money, and not enough time lol.

 

Helluva an idea OE, bout the built in cupholders. Thats what I was talking about in my last post, making the box a little shorter so I could utilize the factory armrest. IF I were ever to get around to doing something like this, maybe make the box come up to the factory cup holders, just cause it'd take some heavy ingenuity to fab up some holders on the top of the box without compromising the seal of the box. Maybe. Like I said, that'd be great for a single 12" sub, then I could just run a monoblock amp to it, and keep the other 10's with the same amp (or a bigger one, as mine is technically a 600w, with a 1000w of doodoo power on tap). Lol, I can't even afford the materials for the center box, or a bigger under-the-backseat box, much less another sub/amp/bigger amp This damn place will get those wheels turning though, make me spend money before it lands in my hand.

 

Well this box fits my factory cup holders up front, they can still drop down so i dont have to include any.

 

see i was thinkin about building a box that goes all the way to the back seat and mounting the rear cup holders in the top of the box. weird how we all tend to think along the same lines!!! lol

 

FYI - There is a person making replacements for the center seat while keeping the back/arm rest.

I would like to keep the console portion, so this is ideal for me. I don't have one, so I can't comment on the quality, etc.

^ Haven't seen that one yet. There was a member here a while back making the stealth boxes. 120 bucks aint too terribly bad really, prolly spend $80 on materials if I did it myself....

 

That's basically what I thought. It's the route I plan on going if I ever find the cash to dedicate to a stereo upgrade project. I actually have an amp and Alpine Type-S components sitting in a box out of our Durango.... however, I haven't spent the money on a new HU, and I don't think the amp has line level inputs.
