So I just got done with putting a 10" momo sub under my passenger seat... and is sounds dope. it took me 3 hours to build the box but it was well worth it.... i'll get some pics up soon,
Cant wait to put the other one under the driver seat. I should fab them and sell them ...lol

any sound or electrical questions please ask....

 

chris foster, formerly of AutoSound in hayward, now owner of RockStar Customs in Tracy, has done the "subs under the seats" for at least a dozen cars (xb's) already...and youre right...it sounds bangin

good luck to you!

 

I have been thinking about where to place subs in the car and I like the idea of under the front seats.. Did you / would you face the subs straight up or face them slanted back?

 

what does the subs under seat thing feel like. i'd like to put an 8 under each seat but i don't want the family jewels to get shaken up too badly

 

Having the sub under the seat wouldn't that muff the sound? Since the sub is facing directly towards the bottom of the seat.

 

I have 2 10 inch cerwin vega's under my front seats...no the jewels dont get juggled that much...actually it is kinda like getting a soothing back massage and the sound is not muffled at all...well worth it. Check with Autosound (Chris), hes the man and can build them quickly

 

anyone have any contact info on autosound? is that the best audio source in the bay?

 

That sounds like a cool idea. What were the dimensions of the box?

 

you can PM autosound (chris)...let him know youre coming out to one of the meets and someone should have their system by chris there. or he'll come out himself...

 

the subs sound great under the seat, as far the dimensions go they are slightly different from one side to the other........ as far as being muffled, the bass sounds really great and tight under the seats the downfall is only a couple of subs work good under neath there if you use some others the bass is real boomy

 

what are the kinds of subs that sound good/bad? I think this is a great idea and something that i would like to do. Can somebody post dimensions of the boxes or any pics they might have?

 

best sounding that i have used under the seat is
arc audio 10d4
image dynamic idq
alumapro
cerwin vega

i have also used the arc kar which are a little more boomy, so basically its the kind of bass you are looking for....... now im sure there are other woofers that would sound great but remember you are limited to the depth of the woofers.....

 

has anybody heard directed studio subs or have any comments about them. I want to do a setup with 2 10's under the front seats and maybe 2 12's in the rear. Has anybody heard of this kind of setup before?

 

anybody have any suggestions about this?

 

No i have never seen any thing like that but you can run two 8ohm 10s and two 8 ohm 12s or you cand run 2 of each in dual 4 ohm modes for more power handling (DAMN im thinking of stealing your idea lol) and run a 1200 watt jbl amp 4 300 watts a peice!!!!!!

 

haha, go for it man, Im hopefully gonna be getting my subs and amp soon and im glad somebody would like to do this other than me.

Anybody have any feedback on Directed studio subs?
