First time I see this. Been wondering if a sub could go in there. Would like to hear it.

Nope, I wonder also.

I am not sure if I would like it up in the air covering the window like that. I mean I know it wouldn't be in any sort of line of site but just don't know if I could live with it. I am thinking of fiberglassing a pair of shallow mount subs in that same side. Cut our the outline that's there and cover it with a custom grill. I think it would end up making it look much better.

Right. See, I'm not a fan of sticking subwoofers in the windows like that. What I am thinking is trimming out the plastic indent area where the jack/power lift area is. You can see it in the pictures above. I have access to a CNC router that I could take a digital snapshot of it and convert that to something to make a speaker grill. Then, fiberglass that area into a speaker enclosure. Hopefully the end result would be a functional, and hidden upgraded system. This BOSE setup sucks and is driving me nuts!!!

I like the center console box better. It is better for setting up a good sound stage as well.

I'd love to be able to put the JL sub in my center console but they don't make one for the Denali or Escalade- they both have rear a/c systems and the JL Audio sub doesn't fit with rear hvac.

Well, I differ on this. You can pick up a few free db's by having the subs facing the right direction in the rear of the vehicle. It also will keep from you hearing cone flutter since the sub is so far away.

I've been playing around with some old demo subs I have on the shelf. I think I have the plan of attack ready. Now I just have to get an afternoon to have the time to rip into it.

Still on the fence on the JL box. Been so busy and installing one would be a snap. Just the price is ouchy

 

[ccapehartusarmyINF.(ret)]

first problem is the manufacturers of anyof those tahoe spacific enclosures have priced themselves out of the market there always rediculously expensive
im sorry 700 bucks for a fabricated "custom" tahoe enclosure
and it blocks out your windows ehh i dont like that
i gotta guy in mesa at an audio shop building a box for me for 4 12 inch subs for 300 bucks

Hey, thanks for your service my man! Anyways, I don't want to lose any cargo space. I have all the material to fiberglass an enclosure in the driver's rear panel but space is pretty tight. After working on everyone elses stuff, I don't really have the time or energy to work on my own crap lol. I don't like anything in the window either but it would be out of the way. There's been some used ones on Ebay for $300-$400 range
