I have a 1992 Toyota Truck, 4WD with the standard bench seat. Currently I am running a Bazooka Bass Tube powered by a Rockford fosgate amp, that is also behind the seat. I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to get a Fosgate Punch12 behind the seat without having to slide the seat forward more than one notch. I had a hack car stereo shop in Redding, CA attempt to build a box for a 10" that would fit behind the seat, but it turn out terrible and caused the seat to have to be several notches forward. I already have plenty of power for the sub and the sub. Does anyone got any ideas how to do this and do it fairly inexpensively.

PS, I Don't want to do any cutting on the back of cab except to remove the jack brackets if necessary.

Answer = NO

There is no inexpensive way to get quality sub-bass in your truck.  Im assuming you dont have an extracab?  You may have a little trouble squeezing a Fos 12 back there.  Take the 12 back for a refund or sell it later.  Find a reputable, skilled installer and DO IT RIGHT.  There are a handful of ways to make your plan work - no cutting necessary.  A couple are:

  • Fiberglass one, two or three 10's probably JLAudio
  • Do four 8's.  Dont laugh - you'd be surprised what you could do with those cheesy radio shack subs they sell.  Try two or four separate chambers.
  • Also, there is a sub manufacturer (cant recall the name - some of you experts know what Im talking about) that has the magnet in the face of the speaker to save space vice the conventional subwoofer construction.  They work awesome in Porsche installs which dont have any room to work with.  Dont know how much power bass you could squeeze out though and they are pricey.

Thanks for the info F4. Not anything that I didn't know already. I've heard all those options in my truck and believe it or not, the Bazooka tubes sound the best. I've got one right now, its decent, but you really need two to create proper frequency coverage and overlap. The 12" that i have is a couple of years old, it was the best one they made back in 98 or 99 I think. I use to run it in my corolla, it sounded great in there. Now I am just sorta saving it for my next car.

Thanks again.

Brad
