Sub Box Ideas

[Tahoe_96]

So I have these 2 10" subs hanging around and I am wanting to put the in the Tahoe. My first Idea was to put them behind the rear interior panels but that looks like a great deal of work. So now I am thinking about just building a sealed box but I dnt want them easily seen through the windows...need some ideas

Will they fit under the back seat?

How much fabing you want to do? Easy way just build a low profile box and put in the back with matching carpet. To look good do it the way you don't want to or if you have barn doors build a box in them, or cut a hole in the back of the hoe and put it there (all sealed up of course). Remember it will only look as good as the effort you put into it.

I didn't want mine readily visible either so I went pretty dark on the tint on the rear windows and I plan to buy a cargo shade to cover it. I put 15% over factory tint on the rear, which is 5% now, and you have to walk up to the truck and cup your hands to see in. The cargo shade will just hide it more. You can buy them for around $100. I believe it's about 16" from the floor to the top of the rear panel so you'd want your box lower than that to fit the shade. Well, that's the measurements on my NNBS, not sure about yours.

Most likely but I dnt want to loose the ability to fold them down

I was thinking a low profile box and maby facing the subs down but wasnt sure how that would sound in the hoe...i have never even taken the panels off the barn door guess ill have to look into that and see if they will fit

I have a cargo shade in mine but it leaves a gap in between it and the rear seats so the box would just be out in the middle and dont really wont it sliding around

they are rockford P1 so I think the mounting depth is around 5.25"

What about removing the center console in the front between the bucket seats. That is what I plan to do. Build a box with the 10's downfiring and a padded arm rest on top.

I dnt know that my fabrication skills are that good I would have to see some pics of one first.

Are you working on a tight budget? if not have it done for you, probably be a couple hundred bucks but would be about as stealth as you can get.

If your not in a hurry I will be building mine in a month or so, even if I don't have my subs just to have an arm rest that is functional...and I will take pics of that process
