ok, so i am going to need to cut the insulation off from behind the back seat... and mount it there... it look like very very little room but I guess if I mounted it to the metal on the rear of the cab that would work? and does anyone know where i should ground my amp? i am guessing I am going to need a connector to mount to my cable that will conduct from screwing it down... ahhhh, i think im going to need to make a trip to the audio store...

You'll find out soon enough if you like it or not...viper24 said:
I personally hated being able to hear the resonances inside the box.
Nothing beats the density wood provides...
Ok, i have everything installed, i need to put the single seat in back back in. I installed the amp behind the seat, but im not sure if the seat will have enough clearance to be folded up... Ill get pictures up in a few hours before i put the seat in. I also replaced the mtx subs with my new rockford fosgate stage 2s... they have alot more power, but the mtx's were not that bad... monday my interior speakers come! then i will have a new project and problems to post...
about the plastic box... with all of the added airspace it gives you it sounds great, i have heard both wood and fiberglass in a ram QC and I would say it sounds better than both of them... i do have much stronger subs than the ones in the wood and fiberglass ones ive heard though. The fiberglass one had a different note to it that sounded louder from outside. i got my enclosure from supercrewsound, a sponsor of this site... I got it for $205 shipped, a very good deal.

I don't know why people continue to put the sub box under the rear seat. The center console single 12" blows it away...

Viper, you must have listened to some subs you disliked in the wooden enclosures or perhaps prefabed ones that were not designed with the Thiele/small data of the subs installed.
I know I am more anal than most here & that plastic box maybe OK for most, but I can guarantee you that a properly built wooden box with the same drivers you are using will be considerably much more accurate than that box.
Not only is it plastic but what sub was it designed with? Just because your RF subs are better does not mean it will sound better...
Good Luck with your project...
I have 8" in my doors playing down to 40hz & a 12" in the center console playing 50hz and below...

i just finished putting everything back in (seat). I have been driving around for 2 days with the subs. the low continuous bass in rap music sounds good but the bass drum in rock sounds the best. They punch really hard. My seat dosent fold all the way up because I have such a big amp. It sticks out about an inch more than the bench when folded. If I have this enclosure I can switch to a wooden one if i want to feel a difference. I wouldnt want to get a custom made one from a shop, I would rather do the supercrewsound custom wood one. anyone had any experience with those?
