I put a 10" under the bench seat. I used some web speaker box designer thing to figure out roughly how big the box is. I can provide (external) measurements if you want. The box is simply 1/2" particle board (I would have used 3/4, but i already had the 1/2) and is actually just glued together with caulk. I still need to get a grill for it. overall view: http://jupiter.okb-1.org/camera/public/vanagon_panels_done/.catalogimages/p8140016.jpg.html closer: http://jupiter.okb-1.org/camera/public/vanagon_panels_done/.catalogimages/p8140033.jpg.html inside passenger side of bench seat (never bothered to mount the amp): http://jupiter.okb-1.org/camera/public/vanagon_panels_done/.catalogimages/p8140036.jpg.html inside driver side of bench seat (I can't say mounting the cd changer right next to the subwoofer was one of my better ideas): http://jupiter.okb-1.org/camera/public/vanagon_panels_done/.catalogimages/p8140035.jpg.html On Tue, Mar 21, 2006 at 01:59:36PM -0800, ray wrote: > A related question: has anyone put a subwoofer under the bench seat?
