What are people using for subs that don't take up room ? ? ? ?

[Dusty]

I used the straps and mounting hardware that came with the sub. The back of the seat is a hard surface, probably plastic, that is covered with carpet. I attached the straps to this using the screws that came with the sub. The sub rest on the ledge behind the back seat, so there's not much weight on the straps. If I ever want to take the sub out, all I have to do is unhood the two Velcro straps and unplug the wire connector.

I wonder if covering the entire back side of the hideaway sub enclosure with a single sheet of heavy duty velcro would be strong enough to hold it to the carpet on the seat-back? Isn't that how the seat-back liners from Mabett and others attach? Those are quite a bit lighter though, and not bouncing around everywhere when you're bumping some Eazy-E

Any vibration noises? I was thinking about doing a similar setup with the JCR table.

At first, yes. But I took the sub off and put 2 pieces of conveyor belt rubber along the backside of the sub. I taped that down to the back of the sub with fabric electrical tape.
I also couldn't use the solid table top that comes with the JCR tailgate table. I just took it off and it's an open molle. That created a horrible rattle. The current set-up is solid, rattle and vibration free regardless of terrain or music volume. System sounds great. I did, for the sake of full disclosure, upgrade all speakers and added the kicker key amp for the other 6 speakers.

Did you use the full length screws that were with the strap washers or shorter ones? The long boi's make me nervous screwing into the back seat lol

The screws that were with mine where probably an inch, maybe an inch and a half long. I was comfortable using them.

I used a Kicker hideaway as well. Mounted it to the back of the rear seat.

I am looking to do the same. Did you mount brackets directly into seat back?

Nevermind I saw your responses to similar questions in this thread, thanks

One more question - where did you ground the subwoofer to?

 

[EMBronco]

I'm trying to remember, but I'm not 100% sure. I think when I took off the the passenger side panel in the cargo area there was a ground strap already bolted in that area and I took the bolt out and added the sub ground there and then put the bolt back in.

I got one of these for sale. $100 plus shipping. Not to shabby for a shallow sub.

Has anyone tried installing one of the Kicker Hideaways under the backseat (driver side)? It seems like there is plenty of room under there. The 60% seat I’m referring to. Or will it just not sound good under there? Thank you.

Folds down with the back seat as well

You’ll get some better ideas googling bronco tailgate sub. Lot of new products available people on here don’t know about.

Winner in my opinion
