2-10" subs in ram rt

[hemi_hawk]

between the seats and the rear storage "boxes" do you think I could fit a 10" sub behind the driver and passengers seat ?

easily

In a reg cab in the storage bin may take up the entire bin to get the air space you need. And as I'm sure you know, the bin isn't quite straight and you have maybe 8 inches of depth at the bottom. Take out the bin for easier box design and much more room.

You can fit most 10" subs with a 5 to 6 inches mounting depth if going sealed, but you do have to take the tray out.

I would like to keep the storage trays as i use them for getting groceries and all that normal stuff

Could i do one under the seat ?

What about something like this ?

Guess it depends on the sound you are trying to achieve. Personally I wouldn't buy any boss or pyle gear let alone anything in that size enclosure expecting decent output.

I would get 1 good 10 and make some fancy box to take up one half of the bin if keeping said bin is a must. You could take the bin out, put a box directly behind the console, then build your own bins on either side.

I measured from my seat to the storage bin/box I have give or take ( depending on the seat moving forward and who is sitting in them) 6-8" behind my seat and easily that at the passenger seat ( mostly cause no one rides with me so after looking some more what about something like this

Kicker 40TCWRT102 10

I like those options much better. It sounds like you're going to put it between the seat and the bin. I never considered that. Keep in mind that you will need some kind of room between the sub and the seat for that thing to move some air.

Would that kicker be decent ? I just want a little more thump then what the 4 factory 6x9's are giving me.

Idk **** about audio though so if i bought 2 of them what would i need to make it work ? Amps, wires ect ??

I dont know about a single 8...especially a shallow mount with a FS of 48.2hz, it wont have a lot of output on the lower notes if any. A 10" will have a bit more fun factor for you

With the kicker 10s, you would need one amp that can push 800-1000 watts rms at 4 ohm or 1 ohm.

I'd say have a custom box built or build one yourself that has both storage and the speakers in them. Place the sub portions of the box on the outside leaving the portion behind the center console open to access for storage and whatnot.

This is what I am looking at doing and I think will fit from some of my quick sketches on the computer. I am also planning to use either a Arc Audio 10" or a Phoenix Gold 10 sub that I think only require .6 cubic feet air space for a sealed box.
I was going to place the amp or amp under the seats, one under driver one under passenger as the jack and stuff will be gone since I carry AAA as a spare tire.

This is just an idea but it kinda looks like your looking for a plug and play kinda set up ?

this is a good idea, how ever since I know nothing about wiring and all that, ya plug and play would be cool, I hear a lot of installer places **** you on installation

They can, But there is also alot of knowledge here on the site and on you tube that will teach you. you can also always find someone with the basic skills somewhere that is more reasonably priced.

Just go talk to some shops and see what they say. I've talked to a few in my area and building the box as I want it and replacing the whole system top to bottom I was quoted $2500-3k which isn't bad with all the components I picked.
doing a high level input sub addition with a custom box shouldn't cost much more than some of the components you posted.

I think it would be pretty tough to fit any decent sub box behind the seats without removing the plastic bin...
Fyi, if you remove the bin you actually gain more storage, because it isn't shaped well to use that space efficiently. So you could remove the bin to fit a decent sized sub and still have the same or more storage than you had before. Win, win!

Thanks for the heads up, maybe i will remove it and measure.

Just a heads up guys, i like the alpine system i just want a little thump i dont need a full system just some subs so it has some hit is all
