Not really sure if that is possible, I haven't seen it yet. Then again, I never claim to have seen/know it all.

You have very limited space/depth for mounting subs under those floors though, just doesn't seem likely to me.

I think he wants to know if you can do it AND keep the fold flat panels.

I don't think so, but I've been wrong before.

I am going to be the jerk who comes out and says it, I disagree with you maniac. I have the fold flats, and can not see mounting a sub under them when closed. the pass. side may have enough room, but the volume of the box would be so small, never meet the requirements of a decent sub IMO.

could you fit a sub under there? yes
could you od this and still have a quality constructed box with adequate volume? I doubt it.

but again, I never claim to have seen/know it all.

Don't know if this is what you're after, but one option is to replace the front seat center section with a sub enclosure. This is what I did, and I'm running a 12" JL W6 sub, and it sounds great.

A guy on ebay makes these with factory matching materials. It's called a HotBox.

I believe JL also makes one of these center sections. You can still have someone sit there, but not really comfortable. If you don't need this space as a seat, I think it's the best option, and still allows you to keep the fold flat storage.

Yep, thats what ill be going with when I get to the sound system....
I can afford to lose the storage space under my back seat, and I cant lose the "custom" fold flat floor thats back there either

Plus, I have NEVER had a 3rd person up front, heck I dont even think a child would be comfortable there...

Yeah, I have pics, but imagestation.com is down today for repairs...I can post tomorrow.

I found this writeup for a 2nd truck, that will give the general idea...although the material match isn't particularly good on this one.

My old lady rides shotgun, and ive always got stuff in the console(I dont want to get all over the place), the floor shifter for 4wd, cupholders down with stuff in them, and a CB all wedged in there, theres no room for anyones feet. The only person that could ride there might be a double amputee

I saw a little picture on Ebay and from the picture it looks like you'd lose the storage compartment but keep it as a backrest or armrest. Isn't the sub mounting inside the storage area? Or is it mounting under the seat (not the backrest)?
