That's pretty cool, the price is a little steep to me but would like to see this in action in an X/Tacoma and see the feedback...

hmmm this might ve something I'm after but i might find a shallow sub and build my own lil box

200 for a sub and amp combo isn't that bad if it was just a sub and box i would agree

Pillsbry10 · Jun 10, 2012

Aren't the shallow subs pretty expensive still?

200 isn't bad when you factor in no other options, need the rear space. Anyone know how much room is under the seats?

xrgilly · Jun 10, 2012

not sure but u might be able to add some sort of spacers to raise the seat up a bit if needed
i know my amp fits under my seat now

I'll be honest... I'm just cheap lol

Get this if you are worried about space... but I think it is pretty expensive.

Any good box builder that does this stuff on the side can make one for 1/4 of that price.

Found a local guy near me that is sick with boxes. He does this stuff on the side for fun and does competitions etc... Way too good to be working for a shop. My box was $90 for my sundown and he used some software to get the perfect dimensions, frequency, port depth etc. You need to find someone like that and get over the space thing. lol. A fart will have more bass than that little $200 sub and enclosure.

Lol. I was just giving suggestions for a "space saver" sub. Mine is the complete opposite of a space saver. I also had it made by a professional sub box builder.

agreed with rich, that sub amp combo is booty a good way to waste 200 bones imo.
and that jL sub my buddy has it in his x but I personally wouldnt do it cause u loose ur outlet in the bed of your truck and it dosnt sound good to me. it honestly sounds like a old mans fart...... id do shalow mounts or a GOOD/GREAT ten inch sub since your worried bout space. set it center of the back seats.

custom build is the way to go i think

my 12 in m3 setup

I still have my sub panels if you are ever interested.

nick_gz1 · Jun 11, 2012

I need to figure out how I wana do my box too, but I'm digging the jl sub in the center console!

justin13703 · Jun 11, 2012

I highly doubt that one will fit under the seat, it looks pretty big and our floors under the seats aren't flat and there are harnesses and bars under there that get in the way. And I've heard those before, honestly even if you could get it to fit you wouldn't get your money's worth out of it.

xrunrob · Jun 11, 2012

kicker makes one too. and im thinking about getting two for my truck. they are a little bit more, $300 i think. i work at best buy and im not a fan of kicker but we hooked it up and its sounded awesome for what it was and it fit under the seats with plenty of room. you could still move the seat back and forth and the floor mat in the rear wasnt affected either. its a kicker hideaway sub. have a kid and having to bring the car seat and all the other fun stuff i really dont want to lose all the space in the back with a box.

how much are you asking for those panels babyboi?

Pillsbry10 · Jun 11, 2012

Link for the kicker one?

here is how it fits. thought some would like to see some pics

Pillsbry10 · Jun 11, 2012

Sweet, how's it sound. I'm not trying to wake the whole neighborhood up

xrunrob · Jun 11, 2012

when i tested it on the bench it sounded great. it was even rattling all the stuff on the bench. i dont have it installed in my truck yet but if your looking for that little extra bass without losing the space i feel this would deff do the trick. im waiting to see if i can get a better price on it. even with my discount its still a little pricey. but from what i heard when we tested it, im sold. one would do the trick but two of them i think would be perfect.

Welcome!
