yeah any shallow mount sub of your choice of brand etc. I am running a 12 Kenwood under each of my front seats in DOA. box is plenty big for the air space required for the sub.

Possibly the 8 but kicker subs do not sound that great in sealed enclosures. Best sounding subs in sealed IMO are JL audio (and I say that and im not a JL fan) so you might try there shallow mount or the Pioneer Primer Shallows don't sound to bad sealed either..

If this is true, you'll most likely be disappointed in the underseat boxes. They sound good enough too many but are more of a compromise for people who want to have everything hidden.

Re: Subs that fit under the seat

i only went with the under seat sub/stealth since i was victim of theft.
Had the 10" kicker sitting in the garage for a while, when i get a chance im replacing the kicker with the Rockford Fosgate P2D210 since it only requires 0.5 - 0.85 cubic feet vs the kickers 0.8 - 3.0 cubic feet.

Re: Subs that fit under the seat

hmm... well i live on a military base... you would think of safety.. but you would be supprised.

well the amp i was going to hid in the seat itself... like I saw on that one DIY, and then two subs under each of the seats... that way, my ass gets a massage...

Re: Subs that fit under the seat

you could also run the amp back to the compartment next to the spare...mine fosgate 500w fits back there...it's diagonal, but it fits. and then the lid sits over all the incoming wiring just fine!

the putting it in the seat seams like a huge pain, and you can never adjust the dials without taking it out again...i don't think i'd like that...it's stealthy but there's easier ways...

Re: Subs that fit under the seat

well, the onl reason I thought about putting it in the seat is becauseI have ny aid bag in my compartment in the trunk. its also got my car breakdown stuff too.you can always wire the seat with a little extra cable to manuver it around i guess..
