Where do you put subwoofers

[Philvarah]

Thought I could put subwoofer under back seat ... But appears no clearance... Maybe attach to bed wall behind back seat... Or under passenger seat... Glove box...Or center console... Or WTF..
Not much room anywhere!

I put a powered Kenwood under the driver seat. Feels good man! ?

Behind the rear seat. Plenty of room for one of those slim subs. Made a custom mount for installing it at the factory sub mount point.

I have for some time contemplated buying one of those slim sub-woofer systems. Are they worth it and do they produce a decent bass? I'm not looking for something that will shatter the windows or anything like that.

I would say that my cheap MTX is just what I was looking for. Something to add some pop and lows that the 6.5s in the door can't produce. It won't shake the house or the car next to you. But for adding the missing low element in the audio it's perfect.

Hell yes. I did this install exactly (minus the line out converter) and it sounds great.

Forget the sub, look at the kit next to it.

Yes... After extensive research...not much room for an install...hope the 2024 allows for more behing the rear seat cargo space..... A sub box and a 10 or 12 in sub plus an amp and wiring kit takes up too much space ... So going with Cerwin Vega 12 in Slim Sub w/ amp combo that's only 13 in X 11 in and mounting on driver's side behind rear passenger seat.... direct power to battery...Will mount to allow air circulation to not overheat... And be mindful to not blow out sub by exceeding 70% max power.

With my hearing, store shelf is the best place I've found.

Where tweeter? Put a bird on his head and you have a full system.

I have the Kenwood KSC-SW11 and it fits easily behind the rear seat.

The remote is in my armrest console.

It sounds very good.

I went with the Kicker Hideaway 11HS8. It fit behind the backseat with wiring ran behind the carpet. I tapped into the B-pillar wires for signal. Amp control and power wiring were ran along the driver's side floor. The remote gain knob is mounted with with sticky back tape under the steering wheel adjust lever where it is out of sight. Be sure to do the FORScan mod to flatten EQ. It does fill out the sound and is pretty nice for inside the cab. Just don't expect a super loud system like you would get from two true subs mounted in a box. My brother says it sounds better than his B&O subwoofer in his F-150.
