That's a tight squeeze. I bought a JL Audio Stealth Box. It sounds pretty clean and you don't lose any cabin space.

JK has a nice setup, if you dont mind losing your spare... or doing a shit-lot of fab work... has anyone ever put a sub in the rear driver side "hold" (the section where the stock jack is)?

there is that circle that looks like a speaker could go their except its completely closed in. I always wondered if Chevy optioned a sub back there in that location...

yea if you got bose. you got a sub. My silverados sub has been unhooked and replaced with a 1000W sub under the seat. So much better.

Its a Rockford fosgate and its in the silverado. Which has about 15" of space under the rear bench seat. Its in a custom build Ported box. amps for the speakers and sub on one side, sub on the other. Only negative is I lost all my underseat storage. The sub is only raited for 500 RMS. I know im pumping DOUBLE the reccommended wattage to it. But almost a month now and its not blown, When it blows I will put a W7 12 JL in its place.

Oh ok I got you now, though you had it under one of the fronts.
These newer Tahoes have no good option for getting some good bass w/o either spending a forture, or taking up half the freakin car!

bose has the 6" sub, firing forward in the console.
Crutchfield has a QLogic box that holds downfiring 10's under the middle seat.

Checked out Crutchfield.com and the want $250+ shipping. That's a ton for a box. I'm going to look locally. I've seen them for $100 at audio shops

is it possible to squeeze an 8" sub in place of that 6" in the consol?

wow i want a sub box under the middle seat! I need my cargo space back so bad!!

is everyone talking about the 2nd row middle seat? i cant put any subs there as i often need to fold down the rear seats for the added cargo area. i need to get a sub in my truck without sacrificing ANY space... this is why i was thinking about putting one in the rear driver side where that "dummy" speaker hole is...

however, it looks like i am going to pull apart my center console this weekend and locate the factory sub, i am hoping there is enough room to upgrade in there

If you pull out your cup holders you can see the box that the sub is in. It doesn't look like much but its there.

Or you can just get a box like mine from www.wickedcas.com, haven't finished installing mine. Third row seat is holding it in place. Don't not buy it vinyled it's a waste of money. * * * Has to modified into your existing Panel * * * Very important * * * Has to Modified into your existing Panel * * *

But once done you have space for 1 12" Sub and don't sacrifice Cargo Area

What happens to the area your jack and stuff is at?

I can't mount a speaker box under the middle seats as my FAL lives there...

You lose it. You just gotta find a new place for your Jack, not too difficult (anywhere) or AAA and get rid of Jack and Spare Tire.
Some of us, have drop our trucks that the factory Spare ain't going to help us
