That looks really good! Where did you get the box from? I have 2 12" subs and a 500 watt amp to power them sitting in my garage, I really just need a box for them.

I bought it at a local shop. It was actually cheaper than building one. They sold boxes for 10 and 12 inchers, but I sat in a couple different rigs with the 12s, and they both sounded like a$$, so I stuck with the 10s.

Yeah, there's not enough airspace in a truck DF box for most 12" subs to sound good. I recently removed my amp and subs from my truck temporarily. I bought an Orion 8004 amp for my door speakers, so now I have to rearrange my sub amp and capacitor to make room for the other amp. I'm putting everything in during Thanksgiving weekend. I'll post some pics of the setup when it's complete.

That box looks nice, but does anyone have something they can show when using it behind the rear seat of a crew cab?

Don't have a picture, but went with a Probox and a single 10.

I have a ProBox in my crew cab also, fits behind the rear seat. It holds one of those new Sony 5 sided dual voice coil 10 inch subs (don't know the model number). Much better than the factory Bose sub.

What kind of price range am I looking at for something like that (box only) do ya think? Its kinda hard to get any shop to own to any pricing. Thanks for your help

around $130 for mine (box only), from local audio shop

For those of you with a Probox and a single ten in your crew cab. Can you give some details on how that setup sounds?

That's the first crew cab box option that I've seen that is ported and I'm seriously considering it for my truck. Most of the other set ups I've seen for the newer crew cabs have been custom (home-made), sealed boxes and my last truck had a sealed box. I'm just thinking of adding it to my stock HU and am a little cautious because I'd like some real world feedback on it first.

I think my sub sounds very good, not great. It fills in the missing bass, and you can feel it. The rear view mirrors blur. You won't win any SPL contests or rattle your neighbors house with just a single 10. But, very unobtrusive install, and it sounds better than the other "hidden" sub enclosures I've seen (center console, etc.)

I use a JL Audio 250/1 amp, and a Sony dual voice coil 10 inch sub in the Probox. The rest of the sound is the factory Bose system, with a PAC harness to connect the sub amp. Since the box only held one sub, I went with the dual voice coil for lower ohm load and louder sound.

There is a plastic cover that pops off the rear cabin wall (covers a child seat anchor?). Removing this gave enough clearance for the rear seat to latch back properly. Also, the hinged carpeted thing behind the seat needs to go. Don't need it anyway.

Hope this helps.
