Nice! How does it sound? Is it worth the upgrade over stock?

It kills the stock sub and most 8's out there.
It's worth it if you want to keep the stock look, but at a premium.
I had 2 jl 10's in a down firing box, these were louder but didn't go as deep
Using an alpine 1000 watt amp, the sub does take the power all day long
No regrets at all

Idk how much your looking to spend or how far you want to go with subs opposed to looks, but I have 2 JL W7's in a box that is line-Xed and you would never be able to see them looking in your back window. They honest to his look like a best top shelf or some factory separator anyone would have in their trunk. But with more custom stuff, there is more money. If your still interested, I'll flip out some prices and take some pictures of mine of it will help you out.

I saw the same picture you did and created a box myself. I also wanted a box for under the back seat that would be locked down and out of sight with the doors and top off. Do understand that you lose the flooding feature of your back seat with this box. Here is what I came up with.

The last three photos of the box in the car are the mock up that I did, hence the plaid fleece. I just needed to get an idea of the measurements incase I made a template.

I have it all installed now but need to open it back up and eliminate some sq ft inside because I think it's just a bit too much space for the 2 8s I have in it.

I will tell you this, it would be difficult to fit a 10 under the back seat. I would say at max you could fit a 5.25 inch depth sub... maybe a little more. and 10 would be pushing it to the size limit but it could probably be done.

Man that's an awesome setup you got going, I really want to do the same. If you don't mind too much, could you post up the measurements on that so the rest of us unlimited guys could run the same setup?

Man..... 4 L7s? To each his own.

One good solid 12 would do it for me.

That hybrid MDF fiberglass box for the truck cab is very slick though.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it and from looking at every sub thread a lot more unlimited owners will too!
