Where is everyone mounting their subwoofer? (1 Viewer)

[Tuck Graham]

I'm in the process of getting new speakers throughout and would like to mount a subwoofer somewhere within the truck. I've looked at under the seat, but doesn't seem to be enough room for the thinnest one I can find. Do you guys have any thoughts on where works best out of the way and still sounding good?

A million thanks in advance!

Hey Tuck -

I've used LCP's Puma Mount to put an Infinity basslink on with quick releases.... it fits well into a mostly unused area over the wheel well. Planning to do the same on the new 80 but might use an unpowered JL sub this time...

The stock hole worked well for me.

There are two, depending on model.

The LX's had a sub mounted inside the center console. The LC had one mounted in the RR kickpanel in the cargo area. (6")

I had this beast leftover from my old car.

I put a call into JL Audio and they advised a .75 cu. ft. sealed box for the 10W1V2 driver. I pulled the driver and binding post cup then stuck it into this $36 sealed enclosure from Amazon.

Perfect fit and the sound is just as solid as the ported box. It JUUUUUUST fits between the fridge and my 2nd row. Maximized space! The only issue is the terminal cup is on the slanted side, against the seat. The bottom of the seat back drags over the wires terribly. I'd leave the cup in it comes with since it's flush and fills the 2-5/8" hole and install a 2nd binding post cup on one of the sides. That's what I'll be doing this weekend. I will be installing angle brackets which will tie into my l-track to hold the enclosure down.

I put one of these under the drivers seat to go along with the basic Pioneer speakers. It's not a bass machine but does a good job filling in the low frequency side that the small pioneer speakers are lacking in.

Not going to ask

I built a small box for a low profile 10" pioneer. Just big enough to meet the requirements of the subwoofer and fit in behind the rear right quarter panel, where the OEM one would have been. I made a thread with pics/measurements here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rear-hidden-subwoofer-box.1048410

And this worked well on the passenger side in the rear? Do you remember what sub you used for it?

Whoops! just read this one. Good to know and the amp was just mounted there as well?

 

[Tuck Graham]

Thanks a million you guys for all the info! Think for what I'm doing may go in the RR to save space and keep the low profile.

I just installed the whole hog mount. Good quality, perfect fit .

Whole hog mount. Kicker sub. Installer glassed a box around the mount.

The factory amp is up behind the glove box on all.

I built mine into my DIY drawers...

Built mine into a 20mm ammo can lined with 3/4" MDF. Lashes down easily, makes a convenient table, and is extremely easily removed. Infinity 611a is mounted just under the driver side rear window between my cage and side of the truck.

What's a subwoofer? If the stereo happens to work in my trucks its usually off anyway because they're loud or the tires are loud, or I just want to hear whats around when i'm wheeling.
