Hey so i'm looking on eBay for sub boxes for my back seat and i've looked at a few and i'm wondering if they are worth it? or should i just go to my local car audio place and see what they recommend, i wanna put some 10"s or 12"s in the back but i just need some audio help lol

heres a link to one of the sub boxes:

Best bet is to buy locally, simply because you can look at and feel what you're getting. If you see something you really like on ebay, check out the feed back and see what other customers say about the product. As long as the construction materials are good (you'll want at least 1/2" MDF construction), you can always run over the interior seams with silicon to be sure of a good air-tight seal. Just do your research, and know what you want BEFORE you buy, i.e. pick a speaker size, pick your power usage, pick the mounting location for the speaker(s) and amplifier(s), etc. The more info you have, the easier it is for an installer/sales rep to hook you up with something you're going to like.

 

well im looking at 2 Kicker 12's and probably a 1000 or 1200 watt kicker amp. does anyone have a good reference or actually have a box installed in a 09 crew cab that sounds and looks good so i could get more info on what im looking for?

 

12's are going to be tight, I have been looking myself, and have decided to build my own and use a couple of heavy duty 10's - Boston G5's for now. There is a company called Bassforms that makes some fiberglass enclosures for 12's.http://www.bassforms.com/ . No idea on the quality, never have seen one in person. I actually bought a Fox Acoustics box, but I sold it without ever using it, mainly because it just felt cheap. Might be fine for a low powered set of subs, but really not up to competition grade like I prefer. You might consider one larger 12" or a pair of 10's to get a deeper sound as the airspace is very limited..

 

Ive got a FoxBox and they are very nice. They are light weight but they work extremely well and sound much more better than my old Probox did. I also have 12s although I am in a QC and not a CC. But i seriously would check his site and see what he has available for you.

 

Do you know what the secret to Bass is?
SPACE ! ! !
Space is the very Top number One Factor to Good Bass
Big Space equals Big Bass and Small Space equals Small Space: and that is just plain Scientific Truth and absolutely No-Way around it
Not even unlimited amounts of Money can make up for the lack of Space
This information is to Help not discourage; use this information to save you time and money on bad designs and junk that just doesn’t work
The space issue has Two elements;
The first being the subwoofer enclosure (Box) size or air space volume
This has become confusing issue; speaker manufactures are using minimum (Small) required air space volumes as Marketing tools. Almost all the speaker brands want to CLAIM there speakers work in the smallest size box. The definition of WORKS is a gray area for theses speaker companies. Speaker designs have improved over the years however no one has reinvented the basic Subwoofer speaker we are working with the same fundamental type speaker since 1958.
What dose this mean; A large subwoofer (like a 12”) Stuffed, Jammed, Crammed in to a small speaker box Dose NOT WORK
Smaller and/or Fewer Subwoofers in the right size speaker box will Out-Perform and Sound Better than Larger and/or More Subwoofers in the wrong size speaker box PERIOD you can not change the present Science

Theses Boxes are JUNK

 

 

2 kicker CVT 12"
Custom Box
498 Kicker amp. (need bigger)

 

any suggestions on a seat lift?

 

How much Bass do you want?
Are you trying to shack and rattle-out all your windows?
The Space is the number ONE factor, then the MONEY is the second factor of how much Bass you’re going to get
A seat lift on those trucks will not do much for you because of the irregular storage holes
10” subs in the right box will give you very good Bass
A large center console will have more output
A Bed-Cut or remove the rear seat will be maximum Bass
