new stereo - will it all fit

need-for-speed · April 2, 2012

I want to upgrade the stereo in my 2008 Silverado ext cab.

Will a sub enclosure and amp(s) fit under one of the fold up stadium seats ?

im sorry need but that is a rather awfull question as sub boxes come in a thousand sizes ,,

you have to go to a stereo install shop and ask ,not here

Ya they do make some boxes that will fit but you will be limited to a shallow mount style woofer...or be Ike me and just put on on the seat LOL

Check ebay....I bought mine there for a fraction of other places....could only fit a 10". Follows the floor line nicely.

really? he can get answers here too.

there are plenty of different designs for boxes. depends on what you want. either x2 8's, x2 10's, or if u lift the seat a bit x2 12's would fit as well. you're not limited to shallow mounts either. i personally will be building my own box, but like mentioned before, check out subthump for some decent pre-made boxes..

my subthump fit two full sized (i mean non-shallow mount) 12s without having to lift the seat or modify anything.

Hey there,

I have 2 12" Kicker Pro Comp VTs (shallow mount) under each seat in the orihinalboxrd from kicker in my crew cab with the 2 amps mounted on the tunnel.

They're sealed boxes and sound nice and tight.

Hope this helps.

Mike, I'm sure most of us knew you were asking about the availability of the newer custom-fit-OEM-unused-space enclosures and not trying to deliberately annoy govtech4. There's some great free info on what's available, as well as tech install info, on crutchfield.com. I can't ever afford to buy a lot of my stuff from them but even just spending a little with them will get you some great custom adapters for your model free or heavily discounted as well as their in-house tech manuals for your model with great tips to keep you from breaking stuff or missing a hidden fastener when doing your install. I'm sure there are many other good places as well but Crutchfield has been at it for a long long time. They're professional and always up to date on makes / models' info but they're definitely not a discount outlet.
