I have a 2005 Tahoe and I am looking for something to go under my back seat for a little more bass. I DO NOT want a box behind my seat. It has to be under the second row. Im thinking maybe some JL 10W3 or JL 10W1 since they are a shallow mounting depth and still sound good. Any other good options????
Also what amp should i get for a speaker of that size????
And i have the bose sound system with the 6 disk CD player and steering wheel controls. What do i need to make this work.
thanks


this is the box im looking at, any other options?

I'd go with the dual 10 box and two kicker solo classics, they match perfectly since the kicker needs .66cf/sub and has a mounting depth of 5 3/4". My two 12s are loud as hell I might even look at doing this box myself just so I can use all the space in back.

If you look at this link. The mounting depth is only 4.5 inches, which limits your sub choices to very few.

I'd call the place and verify mounting depth, they state 6" so you'll be fine with the solo classics. Most of the shallow mount subs lack dynamic range especially at lower frequencies, you'll be much happier with something that takes advantage of all available space.

its 6.5 inches of total depth, thats including the wood and all. I will call them sometime to verify

This $< stealthbox $ :) GREAT find... Wonder if they'd sell it uncovered so you could vinyl wrap it, coat it, etc with something that would be a better color match.

Jut have to find a place to hide the amp... maybe in the console where the sub is?

This is a great idea! I've been eying the rear side panels for subs as I also don't want a rear box. I really like this idea as it centralizes the bass as well. I'm definitely going to look into this route.

There is quite a bit of room behind the driver rear cargo area for mounting some amps. I've been toying with the idea of relocating them but it's gonna be difficult if I have 4 amps. A single 750.1 or 1000.1 would fit back there and you could always hide an amp for some components under a seat or in the center console if you took out the stock sub.
