Yeah, I would like to see some pics if you don't mind postin some. I just can't see how it would fit even with a 10. I mean you've got the little shelf or platform thing back there that the jack and all mounts to which is only about 5"-6" wide, how would that fit behind the seat and be secure and lay right?

Well, I guess it can be done. What are the dimensions?

The stealthbox is awesome from JL. They have one now that fits under the center console so you lose no storage space, but you have to take out the a/c ducts to the rear. They make them for the EC and CC, not sure about the regular cab

I have the stealth box for the center console in my Tahoe. It's not going to win any SPL contests, but it does sound smooth inside the cab and gives a fair amount of bass.

Looks like those dimensions are really close to my box that I built. 27.5" W x 13.5" H.
TD 6" and BD 8.5". I think it's something like 1.04 cubic ft. My wife has the same speaker as I do with a square box about 1 cubic ft., both are sealed and for some reason hers is louder and produces lower fq. than mine. WTF? I thought they should sound the same if the air space is the same, I guess not. And her box came with the speaker and is poorly made.

hmmm thats weird... probably deflections are created by having the front face slanted causing some of the sound waves to fold over themselves and cancel out? i dunno thats just a random guess... did you carpet your box? im thinking about bondoing mine and painting it... but im not sure if i should try or not....
