Sub Box for a Crew Cab???


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, this is only my second post and I would like to have many more in the year to come, I'm excited that I finaly bought the truck that I wanted, and now I would like to get a nice sound system in it, the only problem I have is that I can not fins a sub box to fix under the rear seat, all stealth boxes that I have found are only for extended cabs and not fot crew cabs  :chevy: since I'm new to this forum I was wondering if there is someone that knows  where I can find a sub box to fit my application  :(

 

I have been to many stereo shops are they don't even know how to make a box to fix under the seat  :) all I want is someone to gide me, thanks in advance.

I was in the exact same predicament with my '03 crew cab.  So, I emailed JL Audio and they told me they will have one out in a few months and that was back in early April.  They figured they would have it ready during July or August.  So, I designed my own for an 8" Rockford Fosgate dual voice coil sub that will fit behind the rear seat.  I'm just waiting for the sub now...  I'll let ya know how it turns out.

 

Jose, I see you have a '98.  Therefore, I don't think JL Audio is making a model to fit crew cab.

ok

 

jl has a stealth box for the 00-02 truck but it is in the center console.  You will lose the rear vents.  The jl audio 8.1 micro sub will fit behind the seat perfectly but if you want under the seat check out SUBTHUMP

I ended up using a Kicker 8L7 (dual 4 ohm vc) powered by a Kicker KX600.1 (745 watts according to the birthsheet) in a 1.0 cu ft ported box, tuned to 39 hz.

The box takes up pretty much the whole length of the area behind the rear seat.

Hey guys, heres some pics of my sub box and amps. The work was done by Marks Auto Sound in San Gabriel Ca. The subs are 10W3s and the amps are JL 500 & 300.

    • I'm the original poster of this thread; I'm 85,000 miles now with no transmission issues after they did the fluid change without filter at 45,000.  I plan on a fluid change AND filter in another 5,000 miles and agree with you on staying to witness what happens if possible.  Ideally I would have done the filter at 45,000 too, but my original dealer was incompetent.  I've since moved on and get service done by another more reputable dealer, so I'm hopeful they follow the correct procedure at 90,000.  
    • Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles. 
    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
