Does anyone feel like me when I don't want to take out my 3rd row to install subwoofers. I like having the 3rd row. Does anyone have pics of subwoofer boxes installed behind their 3rd row.

I agree. I have an extra 12" Diamond audio sub I want to install but cant get myself to remove the 3rd row. But the lack of bass is killing me!!

Yeah I have a box behind all three rows. Had a local shop in my area build it for $60. It fits my 2 12" JL W3. It was one of the my favorite mods Ive done its just soooooo convenient.

Very very nice... i was just measuring today to try and find 2.5-3.0 cubes behind the 3rd row.
Im guessing that if you needed cargo room (ie groceries) you could pull the box, remove the 3rd row, and then put the box behind the second row without issues?


Syndiacate Steve: for show that is very cool, but on my people mover, visibility is already uncomfortably restricted an blind spots abundant.

Hidden 3rd row sub in 07 LTZ with lift motor.

Here's a pic of a hidden box next to the lift gate motor in my 07. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic quality.

This custom box was professionally built from scratch out of fiberglass.

It's totally hidden, but you do lose the cup holder for the 3rd row.

It's a 10" Boston Sub. I traded in my truck so this custom box / sub is FOR SALE! Send me a PM if interested.

I did the same by building a fiberglass box in the rear next the the lift gate. Though, I don't have a power lift gate so my install could have used 2 12's.

I had the W5 in my 08 and it fit perfectly behind the third row. Problem for me was that I love ported/vented enclosures and W5's a recommended by JL to be sealed. I returned it and threw in a 12W7. I lost 1 seat, but the sound is incredible.

I can post a pic if anyone's interested.

Like Titanium says, "W7's or BUST"

W7's are the best of the best IMO and I do not miss my 3rd row seat at all having this beast of a sub. here is a pic of the 12W7 ** Box and you can see more pics on the JL site. People think I have 15"s sometimes but nope... only one 12W7 powered by a JL 1000/1 and yes that is a crack in the sub but it doesnt sound any different than before the crack.

Went with the JL Stealthbox under the center compartment. I'm impressed by the output. For me, taking up anymore space in this vehicle was NOT an option.

most fabricated boxes that fit our vehicles call for tossing the 3rd row. well, in the 2000s, and up. Our generation never had 3rd rows, you lucky gun. Im sure you can have one custom built to fit your ride, depending on the quantity of subs and size.
