Default Ram Custom Sub Box

I would like to do a custom sub box through my entire center console of my Quad Cab 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I have the black charcoal cloth seats and I want to do 4 bucket seats. I was wondering if anyone has done this or if it is even possible. I also was wondering if anyone was selling 2 bucket seats for my truck?

Thanks,
Logan

I am sure you can purchase the seats from a newer Ram and possibly modify the brackets to work right... if you have SRS Seats you might need to swap some components, but I can't verify that.

Then you can customize anything you want there... sounds like a fun project... I can't wait to see you get it going

I have an 02 crew cab and all I did was take out the center seat, take some rough measurements and built a box to take place of the center seat. Be careful not to make it too wide if you still want the center console to bolt back on like I did. I probably have about 2 hours into making my box not including gluing it and it turned out well, still need to carpet it though. I can still have a person sit in the middle (not as comfortable on a wooden box but it works) and I have a 12" kicker cvr in the box. I can snap some pics tomorrow if you want.

I have the same seats, but mine has the rear seat that flips up with the metal trays underneath that fold out for cargo. Something I've never needed to use by the way. If you have that, not sure how you'd handle the rear seats. What about a box that runs from the front center console through to the rear seat and then comes up and over in the center like an armrest and then just keep the rear seats?

Hey everyone, I appreciate the reviews and responses! I already have 2 12s under my back seat in a Fox Box but I want it louder and so I'm trying to go with 4 bucket seats and a sub box from my front dash/console area, all the way to the back. Idk if this is possible. I think NateSorenson has the idea

i think you are wanting to do something different than what I did but here are some pics of my 8" sub that I put in my centre console:

How does that sound and how hard was it to install. I just traded turcks and now missing my bass a little bit. I had 2 12" jl subs behind the seats in a single cab. I have a mega cab now with infinity system sounds good just lacks alot of bass.
