slydog 7,873 Posted July 25, 2013 I have done a few that were ported thru the cab under the tray/inspection cover and a couple that have cut the back wall out and made the whole area a sub box.For you I would recommend a custom box under the tray area and port it thru to the cab behind the drivers seat.Just remember no cutting with a grinder or anything that throws sparks as the fuel tank is under that cavity aswell.Keep it well sealed and you will have zero issues and BASS.

Thom 6,654 Posted July 25, 2013 I used to have mine under the tray on the opposite side from the fuel tank, you need a decent sub and amp for that setup though but it worked very well 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZJ 'lane 24 Posted July 25, 2013 I've got a sub box that was made for utes... its tall and narrow so it can fit in the cab. (I'm not sure where it would fit, I don't have a ute haha) It's probally 20cm wide and 40cm highish it is ported too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Perky 8 Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks for the ideas guys... I don't have fuel tank anymore it rusted out years ago n i run straight gas now but I like the idea of putting the sub so it comes through into we're the tank use to be.... N thom your idea sounds good too how big of amp n sub did u run so that u could hear it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

revhead 1,392 Posted July 26, 2013 i made a sub box for my mates xg xr6 ute ,made it the exact shape as the under floor area ,i used marine ply ,mounted the sub facing directly up under the false floor cover, works a treat, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted July 26, 2013 I liked to use 2 8" subs and sealed the opening against the wall in Falcons with a cutout for the sound to come thru and commodores I built the box against the back of the wall and mounted the subs to the front from the cab side.Any larger and you would have to lay the sub back but still use the same principal...easy as to do but you needs balls and skill to do either option.

Damo96 93 Posted July 26, 2013 The rear wall is cut out and modified in my ute, to act as a shelf, or sub house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
