Default anybody running a downfire box on 99-up G.M. Ex-Cab?

Where did you put your amp? No room under the front seats as they are power and there are air vents under there. I really like the ProBox (I had one in my 95) I guess i'm just looking for options.

Any ideas?

Default (2) 12' W6's

i have 2 jl audio 12' W-6's in JL Vantage enclosures powered by a 500/1 JL amp. It hits nice and tight. My 2 amps, processor, and cap. are behind the seat on an amp rack. I wish I knew where my pictures were. I will look and try to scan a few in.

Either on the back wall behind the seat, or at my shop we use two individual boxes, with plenty of room in the middle to mount the amps.

I've got a ProBox with 2 10's and my amp is mounted behind the rear seat. My amp is smaller in size and will fit right behind the black "openings" and mounts directly on the back wall. Fits very nicely and never overheats or anything. I might have some pics somewhere, pm me sometime and I will find them if you want to see them

Behind the seat on the back wall is about the best place to put em. It's useless room back there anyway and it makes them WAAAAY harder to steal .

I am using the vantage boxes right now but may switch them out since I dont even keep the back seat in anymore.

Default Yea, Pictures would be nice...

How does the seat back come off and how much room is back there? Can you still flip the seat borrom up with the amp behind there?

Thx.

I have a 2002 2500HD and have 2 amps mounted behind my back seat. To take the seat out there are 2 bolts by each extended cab door that fasten the seat to the floor and there is another bolt underneath the middle of the seat that a support from the seat mounts to the floor. After that just lift up and it will come out.

It is a great place to mount them. I have had my old truck broke into and I am a little paranoid now. You cannot see the amps at all. In fact I have freinds clueless because they know I have something powering my sub and speakers!

Quick tip!!!!

If you do mount your amps to the back of the seat, cut out the lil black vent things on either side and space your amps out to the far sides of the truck. If you place them in the middle you will scratch the **** out of your amps when you flip the seat up due to the lil bolt thingy in the back.
