A Friend of mine has an 88 Chevy K10 Pickup that he's doing over. He want's to add some bass but the trunk is a regular cab and the seats are pretty much flush with the back of the cab minus a small space about 6". Now, normally I would wan't to cut the back of the cab and run an enclosure through and into the bed a little bit and seal it off so it fires into the back of the seat, but he doesn't wanna do that - Something about not wanting to cut huge gaping holes in his truck (*****). Anyway, I'm thinking of fiberglassing an 8" into the footwell and kick area for lack of a better idea. ANyone?

Ive seen that idea done, I think it will always look like somthings lying on the floor and out of place, what about the centre of the truck? is there room between the two front seats? maybe a centre console mixed with a box if there is room......

that's why I hate trucks...LOL. Can you fit a small sub under the passenger's seat by any chance?

Bench seat with no room underneath

I know a JL freak that put 8's in the doors with an enclosure.

build kickers into your doors.

at a ncie angle. bubble out the doors

they dor it with 6.5's so why not 8's ?

Thought about it. Wasn't sure how big the enclosure would have to be. It'd be a hell of a bubble. I still maybe willing to do it. Don't suppose you got pics of the Freak's doors?

A box will fit back there, believe it or not. I wish I could find the design for Virtual Technologies Transmission line type design, but un fortunately, they went out of business. It would fit back there though, I promise. It took up the whole part behind the seat from cabin call to cabin wall, but I guess they had to get all the airspace they could. And that was for a single 10. The output was phenominal too. My cousin had one in his 87 S10, same thing I'm assuming.

you could put the Kicker SSMB6 midbass speakers in and run a nice amp to them. I have some for sale if anyone is interested but they are 6 inch midbass subs basically that are 250 watts peak and 150 RMS

Which way was the sub firing? Just curious cuz I can't figure out how they would even fit a sub back there, let alone the enclosure.

Naw, this guy was my so called competition he had a custom orange s-10 with three 18"jl's on 2250 ppi and 4channel ppi for all his mids, but from what I had seen he did was similar to this: So all you seen was the woofer in a flushed fiberglass enclosure.

Hmmm, You've got me thinking. I'm gonna look inside those doors this weekend. THanks.

No prob, most models have a ton of space. Hope you do it. love too see pics.

Fire into the back of the driver's seat, slot port on the passenger seat end.

POP, I'm making a cardboard template sat to see how that'll work too.
