4runner sub installs

Well I'm tired of having this big box behind my seats, I want to get rid of the pair and get 1 10" sub and tuck it away. I found this install, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/296763/7 and it's SUPER clean, but then I loose the back speakers which I don't want to do. What have others done for their sub installs?

it's a 2nd gen 4runner. I like your idea Runethechamp. I was planning on making something to fit in where the cargo pockets are, but I don't think there is enough volume for a sealed box there.

I have a 10" in each cargo box and they require .75 cubic feet of air and they work great. I wil look around and see if I can find a picture or two but yes its a great place to install and you lose no storage space. I have 1990 4 runner just for the compairison so 2nd gen info for ya.

This may not be as "clean" of an install as you were thinking, but hey, it works!!!!






Yes, that's a 10" sub. Bone jarring, filling shattering is NOT what I was going for here. Actually, I was going for COMPLETELY free parts. Almost made it too, but the amp I was given didn't work. The sound stays in the truck and doesn't irritate everybody in a 5 car radius.

Holy crap, but that is one clean install. That guy has skill, that's for sure. Now I have an idea for what to do with mine.

The JL sub is nice. Pioneer makes one that takes a much smaller box than a conventional one, but needs a fair amount of power to drive it. It might be an alternative to huge boxes.

I love his "quick" kick panel mounts for his speakers. His quick work looks better than my time consuming work.
