You don't have much space. I'd love to see your box design.

It's going to be a big armrest with built-in massage.....

create a type of armrest in between the seats. then mount the woofers so that they 'downfire' into the floor. depending on the space you have, you might be better off using one subwoofer in a ported enclousre

Nice touch.....

OP, you may have to stick with one sub for space reasons, although a box with 2 inverted 12s sticking up between the seats would be different....

I don't see a downfire happening. I don't think in an S-10 you can fit a pair of buckets in there with ~13" of space in between. That can be a tough run in a full size truck cab.

So you are left with a rear firing woofer, something more conventional behind the seats, or a sidefiring console with the woofers offset from eachother.
