Re: How to fit subs
About the only good option is to relocate the fuel tank underneath the bed, then use the space behind the seat.

Re: How to fit subs
You should be able to fits pair of 10s or 12s behind the seat. It depends on how much bass you want really. 1 decent 10 will be plenty of bass for most people.

Re: How to fit subs
Why, in my day, just listening to that built 283 was music enough.
What has happened to this younger generation?? |

Re: How to fit subs
The new generation is in to video games, and how much "thump" you can get, and how many miles away it can be heard. Us "old school" guys and gals were the only ones that needed to hear our music.

Re: How to fit subs
Not so true, I like to "hear" my music AND play it loud sometimes. I go for all out sound systems when I do one. On my last build I had 2 sets of mids, two sets of tweeters, a pair of mid-bass, and a pair of subs. All running off of a 10 way crossover and 5 seperate amps. You couldn't just hear only bass a couple blocks away, you could sing along with your favorite song!
That being said I'm not sure how much bass you need but a dual voice coil 8" sub in a properly tuned and ported box with an amp matching the speakers rated power will normally be plenty. Heck, I did four 6" subs running off a 150 watt competition amp once and everybody swore I must have had a couple 10's! |

Re: How to fit subs
With tank removed you open a bunch of space up to mount Subs!
Here is mine. Home made box with 2 10" shallow Mephis gold's. I used the gas tank hold downs to keep it in place.
