Being as though i have an extented cab short bed, i lost a lot of cab room under the rear seat to the fuel tank. Hence, i cant fit conventional subs under there.

 

So, Does anyone have any experience with the Pioneer Flat Sub. I have seen them and psuedo heard them in a crew cab. but the 3.5" Mounting depth is an atractive option.

I got two "conventional" 10" subs under the rear seat in my ex cab without hassle...What's this about a fuel tank?

 

I've only heard one set of of the flat Pioneers, and they sounded horrible (to me)...Now, how a speaker sounds is highly dependent on the box, setup, source, and amp...So I could have just heard a bad one...But they sounded pretty weak.

Yeah please clerify that "gas tank" problem...something after market you have? my '02 w/ 2 Rockford Fosgate 10's in Q-logic boxes and amp in center. The 1 farad cap is mounted bottom right hand side of the picture underneath and behind the seat. There was plenty of room and it sounds great.

you can find a truck box, which you can fit 2 10s or 2 12's that will slide under your seat. its 1 piece and it takes all the room under the seat.

 

but if you are looking for thin subs, i say go for the new sonys. i would rather get th soe then th e pioneers

Anyone know where to find the boxes? I'd love to put fullsize subs instead of the slim pioneers.

All of my local audio shops have them for about $100-$150. I had two (full size) 10" Kicker Comp V/R's under the rear seat in my '02 ex cab, firing downward. They sounded great too.

The box that I am getting built is for 4 10" JL W3v3 all firing into the cab, not downward or upward. Plenty of room for the sub amp and component amp.

I am not sure how they sound..

 

But just to let you konw.. Kicker and Rockford also has shllow mount subs.. I am looking for a box that I can fit 2 12's under the seat in my Crew cab using the shallow mounts..... Most boxes only fit 8's or 10's. NOt sure if it is because of the depth of most subs or what.. I will have to call them and ask if a 12" hole can be cut because I have found subs shallow enough to mount in them.. Yes they also have enough air space with the Rockfords so that is not a issue......

Do you have or can you make a box for a 07 Classic Crew Cab that will hold one or two 12's under the rear seat (down fire) Yes they will be shallow mounts... I am looking at the rockfords......... All the boxes I have found are for 10's If I knew if there was enough room to cut the hole larger and mount the 12's I would just order it and cut away but I am not sure if it will work...

 

Sub thump has a box that looks just like the box at supercrewsounds.. not sure if there is a difference but it is 1/2 the price......

      AFM Experience

      By Atlas · Posted

      Carbon on valves would be the least of my worries on a light duty, 1500-series pickup with 357k provided the engine still ran halfway decently. Everything else is likely toast, on its way out, or has already been mauled to death by cheap mechanics and backyard fixes. Those kinds of trucks nickel and dime a guy to death.   I wouldn't think having the top end cleaned once or twice would be a big deal on a 5.3 but maybe it is?

      I wonder how much carbon is on all those high mileage valves?

      AFM Experience

      By Atlas · Posted

      When I had a Bumper subscription for a few days when I needed to run title histories on cars I was looking at, I decided to look up a few of my old/past vehicles.   My 2015 Silverado was still actively registered and it last sold in 2024 with 160k on the clock. No idea if that's on the original engine but someone's keeping it on the road or the original AFM stuff is still going.   It used 0w20. I remember feeding it Mobil 0w20 AFE for the first 30k of its life on <5k OCI's.     Edit: Just did a nationwide search on Autotrader for 2015-2025 Silverados with 5.3's and sorted by highest mileage first.   357k 352k 292k 291k 290k 277k 271k 268k 266k 259k 256k   High mileage on a modern 5.3 doesn't seem all that uncommon, but that's just searching mostly dealer ads on Autotrader. FB Marketplace has all kinds of high mileage 5.3's going back to 2007

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.
