has it been done yet????

I'm thinking of putting a subwoofer in my truck, but i like the cargo room in the back and hardly ever have more than one passenger. Okay, for starters, i listen to a lot of country and bluegrass music with a little bit of rock and hit hop mixed in. I don't need that booming bass that you hear from those little hondas and big SUVs. I am only looking for some low end sound in my system. What i was thinking of doing was a shallow mount 8" or even 6.5" subwoofer, but built in place of my fold out rear seat in a '94 Ranger xcab. I utilize the area behind the front seats for storage of hunting/fishing gear depending on the season and storing my in-bed tent, so I want it to literally fit flush, in place of the seat. Has anyone attempted this? If so how did you mount it or how would you mount it? any help would be awesome, and thanks in advance!

its like 5* outside, ill snap a pic of it tmrw for you. its the fullsize. it took a little bit of metal fanessing, but it fits snug as a bug in a rug. it only stick out like 3 inches past the old jump seat edge. super easy set up to. i built my own box, wraped it and slamed her in place

MTX audio makes a shallow subwoofer, 4" depth, FPR shallow series

You will need a separate amp for any subwoofer and a crossover.
You can get single channel amps with crossover(x-over) built-in, so made for running a subwoofer

A 6.5" or even an 8" cone is a woofer not really a subwoofer, the sub part can only be generated by a larger diameter cone, that's just the physics of creating the longer waves(lower frequencies).
The sub waves are the ones you "feel" they are below the range of your hearing.
You can create these longer waves with smaller cones if you have the room for a wave guide, the Bazooka subwoofers are examples of that, but you do need the room.
If you just want to make the music sound "richer" an 8" woofer can do that, same setup as the subwoofer, amp and crossover.

Memphis S-Class 10" are only 3" deep, require very little volume, and sound very crisp.

If your still trying to figure out a box option I have two custom boxes that fit under the jump seats and hold a 6.5" sub in each box. I still have the subs too. Sold the truck so now I have no use for them. These are very nice boxes that suprised lots of people with the mini subs. I am having a hard time attaching photos but send me your email and i'll send some to you. They were in my 94 so it will be a perfect fit.
