sub in the corner - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FILICE72C10 · 05-04-2003, 08:09 PM

Well, for those of you that have wondered if a bazooka will fit in the passender side corner of our trucks. It will... although I have to ride one inch closer to the front.

KEH · 05-04-2003, 08:26 PM

FILICE72C10,

Thanks for the info. I assume you have a bench seat. I wonder if it would work with my 68 buckets, as the passenger side is in a fixed position. Any idea?

Thanks,
Ken

FILICE72C10 · 05-04-2003, 08:35 PM

Not sure this is my first truck and I have only had the bench. I would install the sub in the middle of the buckets. I think I have seen a picture of that before.

This is a better pic, i think i figured out my paint program.

I don't know much about sound systems, but is there any problems having that so close to the fuel tank lines, etc?

Jackal2k9 · 05-04-2003, 09:25 PM

move the gas tank under the bed and you can install a good sized box behind the seats

FILICE72C10 · 05-04-2003, 11:11 PM

moving the tank may come next year. As for the sub being close to the tank... it shouldnt be a problem, the tube is about 8 inches away and strapped to the corner. I will let you guys know how it sounds next week when I get a chance to finish the head unit install.

What size bazooka tube sub is that?

FILICE72C10 · 05-04-2003, 11:21 PM

it is a 6 inch RS bazooka. IT has dual voice coils and I am going to power it with a 400 watt MTX amp under the seat. It should rock.

KEH · 05-05-2003, 01:34 AM

Just curious where you bought your sub. I've seen them on ebay.

FILICE72C10 · 05-05-2003, 11:24 AM

thezeb.com - free shiping and no tax about 125 i think.

FILICE72C10 · 05-12-2003, 07:32 PM

I powered it up this weekend and it sounds great. I still need to do a little tweeking of the deck and amp setting but that little tube rocks.

*Randy70C-10* · 05-12-2003, 10:02 PM

Great idea, now I know how I'm going to do mine.

landon4421 · 05-13-2003, 11:46 AM

Looks good Gino. I guess I will have to come buy to see it. mabe this weekend. I have been really busy getting the radio back in the wife's truck.

I was wondering who painted your truck was it someone in town?
I was thinking about painting Jenna's truck. Anyway the truck looks great. Landon

**breeh** · 05-13-2003, 12:39 PM

Thanks for the update. I am going to have to go look at those. That looks like an ideal solution. How did you mount it?

Old Chevy · 05-13-2003, 12:44 PM

That is exactly what I have in my truck, but I had to replace the speaker itself because it blew out. I have a replacement dual voice coil speaker in there, and it sounds great. If you turn it up and put your hand over the port, you can tell it is moving a lot of air.
Your install looks great as does the rest of the truck

Cheers

Richard

FILICE72C10 · 05-13-2003, 10:14 PM

i mounted the speaker using the mount supplied with the tub. I used the removed the factory jack handle spring that is mounted with a screw into the door frame and used the same screw to mount the platic strap mount for the bass tube. All i did my dynamat the cab corner and then lay out some foam to keep the sub from bouncing around. I strapped it up and its not going anywhere.

Landon-
The paint shop that did the truck is Hougue Brothers in hollister across the street from Rovella's Gym.

Tell them Julio refered you. I wont be in hollister this next weekend but knock on the door and my dad will gladly show yout he truck.
