Hi im new to the forum and have a good question about building sub boxes in my truck. I have a 99 ford ranger xlt supercab with the jumper seats in the back i was wondering if the space behind the jumpseats if i mod it out, hack slash and cut it to fit could i possibly fit a sub box back there while leaving the jumper seats in but permanently out if you know what i mean? im probably going to start soon as the weather starts breaking but im just looking for some feedback

 

Do you mean leave the jump seats installed? In the up position, down and closed position, or down and open position? Once that is clear, how exactly do you plan on putting the box back there?

well obviously i would remove the jumper seat during installation but what im kind of envisioning is a sub box inside the wall of the truck flush with the wall and then reinstalling the jump seat in order to have it open and able to be sat on still as sometimes i do use the jumper seat if i have to

ill photoshop an image later to kind of give an impression but basically the process would fill the entire cavity with a box and right behind the jumper seat would be a box maybe an inch of room behind it if you get my drift.

 

i bought an angled sub box that fits 2 10's in the back, i use the jump seats in the down position to hold the box in place, lol

 

sounds like what i did in the 93 ranger i had, i had 2 10's in a bandpass box sitting on the jump seats in the back haha

 

well, mine is on the floor and wedged between the 2 jumpseats, i just lean the front seats back a little and it seems to hold it pretty well, thought about making a custom box to bolt to the floor, for that real thump!

 

the only thing about bolting stuff to the floor is nobody can sit back there anymore that's the only bad part, but i gave up having a nice stero years ago after seeing broken glass 3 times

 

well i got the ranger because i was tired of having people sit behind me, so even with the jump seats i say my truck fits 2.5 people, ive been wanting to take out the jumpseats since day 1, but what would hold my box in place, also tint helps hide your interior

 

also im knocking on wood now, but i havent had any problems with my one peice, No slider, of glass
