Center console subwoofer box

All,

I am toying around with the idea of trying to put a subwoofer box inside the center console of a 2015 f150. I know I don't have much room to work with so I was going to look for something that would require not much space such as a Hybrid Imagine 8 or similar.

any ideas if this would work or would it be a terrible idea?

I too have the JL stealth box for my truck and I agree the center seat sub is the ****

I have a '15 F-150 and am currently running two JL 12TW3-D4's under the rear seat and it sounds extremely good. In the process of having a box built for three and relocating my amps to the rear. Don't mind the amp, it was a holdover til I can get different amps, which I have already done

any chance you want to sell that box when your new one is made? thats pretty much what im looking for right there. If not did you make, or buy that box?

is your rear seat lifted to accommodate that?

I've done the rear seat subwoofer and it works great. That is what I currently run in my system. In my next build I do not want to use up the floorspace of the rear and I never use my center console so I was wanting to know if it would be feasible to put a subwoofer box in the center console storage box. Would that sound good as it would get the bass exactly in the center of the truck or would their not be enough airspace or would it rattle everything in sight.

This I can not answer. I would assume it would rattle everything in the center console. I wouldn't try it but that's me. I'm not a installer so hopefully a couple will chime in here.

I have done two 10TW3-D4 and two 12TW3-D4 in those many times. I really want to try three drivers in there. Airspace would be a little low but I think the results would be great.
I have not looked at the F150 console for this but...I had a customer with a F250 using the 8W7 stealthbox. He got a newer style F250 and the console was different. I made a downfire enclosure that fit inside the console. I deadened the internal panels. While not as much bass as two 10s or 12s, there is no rattle, decent performance, stock look.

Actually, I'll have the right amount of airspace when it's complete. The box will extend a little on both sides of the rear seat but not in the front so I'm okay. I'll post pics when it is finished
