Yo! Threadjackers? LOL, a thought. Is his amp not bridgeable? What if he ran the fronts to the rears and powered both at 2ohms off 2 channels. Then bridged the other 2 channels for the sub? An cheap amp will not live long with this. It could get him by?

 

20+ years ago I ran 2 8's in "truck boxes" behind the seat and 2 6x9's in boxes in front of the seat. It was pretty damn loud and cheap.

 

Running it at 2 ohms in normal mode would strees that amp out, bridged it would die real quick at 2 ohm. The wattage is not the problem but the quality is a big one.

Yeah in the 80's 6x9's in boxes were the thing, and they don't sound to bad. The problem for his setup is that he wants to put them behind the seat. Where the highs won't come through and they don't make enough lows to help much.

 

How did you hook up your MTX's directly off the head unit with no amp? I have a 02 tacoma, with stock head unit and want to hook up my cubby 8" subwoofer directly to the stock head unit, thanks

 

I have an MTX 10 Inch sub in a ported box and a lightning audio 250w amp. I got it for $40 and im suprised how good it sounds! I put it behind the passenger seat and put the amp under the driver seat. I still have alot of room

 

You could try something like this ..but it's a big PITA project and took way too much time. The outcome is more than I hoped for and it sounds REALLY good Besides..thinkin' ya might be in a truck cab anyway. Think I'm just posting cause of what I accomplished in my '88Runner Crappy amp under driver seat for the 6x9's, mounted amp in passenger side cubby in back. 200amp 10" subs..but im only pushin em with 70amps a piece. still plan to upgrade, but the hard parts done..the box fab suk'd real quik

K..so I'm a dumbass and couldn't figure out how to post the pix in this post. Will try to get them in my album if ya wanna check em out. Sorry my bad
