Whats up guys, im new to the forum. I just installed 2 12 compvt's with a probox under the seat and it sounds reall good, but being a bass junkie im looking for more bass. Has anyone tried fitting any subs behind the rear seat? is it possible?

Are your subs down firing? I have two 10s that are. They're under rear seat as well. It is a sealed enclosure from SubThump. I must say I don't see how I could handle any more bass. I have to keep the power down so I don't rattle everything loose inside the cab.

Yes it is down firing. Like i said man im a bass fanatic i probably shouldnt need any more but i was just wanting to know if it was possible because my amp can handle a whole lot more and i wouldnt mind one or two more behind the rear seat.

I know you can get a box to fit in the back of a crew cab in an 01 to 06. Not sure about the space in 07 and up. Take some measurements and see if this one fits from crutchfield.

That won't fit behind a CC GMT-900 rear seat. Basically you have 4"+/- at the floor and tapers up to about 1" at the top. That gets flattened when you pull the seats up to a flat 2"+/- behind. You can likely squeeze some amps back there, but only something that is cool running. A sub amp is likely to cook back there as there is no ventilation. You could add ventilation to combat that.

You are right about that. The space is real tight. I have two Alpine amps back behind my rear seats in my Ext. Cab. and they are very tight. There would be no way to put subs back there. I believe the CC and the EC have the same space behind the rear seats.

I would highly encourage anyone looking for a box for an extended cab or crew cab to really do your homework on your box. The performance between a down firing box (woofer cone points to the floor, magnets are on the top) and an up firing box are drastically different. I am not saying one is better than the other, just that they are different. You may think a down fire box sounds horrible compared to an up fire or vice versa. The subs/amp you choose will also have a huge impact on the performance. Find a set-up close to what you are getting and give it a listen before you buy. I personally think a down firing sub enclosure sounds better, but someone else may think the opposite. Just do your homework and it will make your purchase that much more enjoyable for you.

Love the truck, but hate the fact I'm limited to the options for the sub I wanna run. No room behind the seat, and for a downfiring speaker, the max depth for mounting is like 5.5" for ProBox, and SubThump is like 6.5" for mounting depth.

 

Wanna run Pioneer Premier TS-W2502D4 10" Champion PRO Series Subwoofer which has a mounting depth of 6-5/8", plus the outter rim of the magnet doesn't fit in either.

 

Plaaning on removing the back of a subthump box, raising it 1" and making it bigger, and then raising the back seats with washers.

 

Anyone done this before??????

I've seen it done before, but the rear seat was raised with new custom made brackets and it was raised 1 1/2". It was A LOT of work. It was in a crew cab. If those subs are truly needing a 6 5/8" mounting depth, I would just make a ring to fit the perimeter of the sub that is 1/8" to a 1/4" thick. The sub thump gives you 6 1/2" already. There should still be enough room under the box for the woofers to move. There is normally like 1/2" they give you for clearance to begin with.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
