I've had 10 inch subs under my front seats for almost three years now.

It's getting tight, I have my sub box mounted on top of the air kit and my amps under the seats. Thinking the under seat boxes would be cool. I did a Google search on the company but came up dry.

the retail is like 11 per box I think. my buddy got em on ebay for like 80 each.

I got em from him for the price of a brake job on his girls accord. so like 60 bucks or so to me. the subs i've had around for about 5 years now. never blown , always sounded good. they've been in 4 out of my 5 cars.


they stopped making a lot of stuff but the former/current company president says he will make custom ordered boxes.

here's his email his name is wayne eleprez06@yahoo.com

possible dimensions

for the new 2006 xBs, there is more space under the passenger side and here are some dimensions that would suit a 10 in. sub

If you don't want to loose the under seat room, Schsche makes a sub and enclosure that mounts in the rear cargo area. It replaces the left side storage bin. You can reinstall the cargo cover over it and have a totally stealth install. I have one in my Box and it sounds great! It houses a single 10inch woofer that handles 250 Watts RMS.

I actually built mine to step up over the floor brace under the front of the seat.

I have a 12" Premier, facing down. Just like a Home theater sub...

I made an error in my post. The Schosche sub replaces the right storage bin not the left.

Hmm, that's a good one. Since the sub can handle up to 250 watts RMS @ 4 ohms (didn't see any ratings for peak power), I suppose you could run whatcha like. Mono, 5-channel with a dedicated sub output, etc...


I think it's worth considering.
