I put a 10 " Kicker sub with a custom box under the rear  camper  bench
facing forward with  the standard plastic black grill -people would look and
notice it and say something about the sub. I then put in  a 10" JL under the
rear bench of the camper, but just used a off the shelf box that was long
enough for the dual voice coils and bolted that in. The interesting part is
I was thinking how to camouflage this I didn't want to put in another round
grill or gray fabric but wanted it to fire forward through the wood I ended
up using a louvered heater vent painted matching gray  looks like some sort
of a factory heater, not to Westy people but for the" don't want to buy
there own parts kind of people "  the stereo store people laughed .

A related question: has anyone put a subwoofer under the bench seat? Any
tips? I was thinking I could put a 10" and have the box custom built - but
it's costly.
Anyone know of a prebuilt that fits or a template to build my own?

Thanks,
