On an xlt supercab has anybody tried too remove little rear fold down seats and put subs in the space left? If so how?

small mdf box, with fiberglass over the top of it would be my best guess.

I put 2 10" subs in my brothers 06 XLT extended cab. We left the seats in. I have pics, but not on this PC.. He has no use anymore of the back of his truck, because with the amp and box it takes up almost the entire rear. I wouldn't do it to my ranger, but thats just me.

MDF is type of high compressed board used for making sub boxes. It's better than particle board IMO...

mdf is what is usually used to make subwoofer boxes.
a really nice pair of 8 inch subwoofers would work really wellin that area.

When i bought my Tonaue (or whatever..?) Cover i got all the electronics outta my bro's '99 XLT. I did have to remove the fold down seats (Star-Head bits + Socket Wrench = Wrip them suckers out) However mine may be different than yours. I have the suicide doors so the seats were bolted to the floor instead of IN the Door like i'm assuming you have. My brothers '99 XLT didn't have the rear suicide doors so the fold-downs were in the doors themselves... and i don't know about those.. either way though.....

I also had to take the little mount of for the bottle-jack in the rear-end. Seats are not sitting on a shelf in the garage in a bag and the whole bottle jack mount + pieces are in the bed of the truck in my gear-mate ^_^

Anywho, yeah the seats come out very easily. After i took the seats out i had to build a shelf (made it out of 1/2" Particle Board and a buttload of glue + drywall screws. This made a flat spot to put the box with the two MTX 12"s in it Box is i think.... 28" or 30" with two Crunch..? amps on top. The amps on top power the front-rear speakers. Under this shelf i left room for the sub-woofer amp. And MTX Thunder something or other..?

My brother probably has old posts on here somewhere with all his stuff, he frequented here quite a bit. Either way, removing the seats, building the shelf and re-doing all the wiring (replaced a single box 10" i had in there that went to my brothers mustang for the trunk) and redoing the stereo in my brothers mustang only took like 2 days. Got everything on a friday. Did my truck on saturday. Wripped the mustang apart on sunday. Everything booms happy and fun now, other than i need to buy new rear-speakers cause the amp + stock paper POS speakers aren't happy

either way i know this is an old post now but it's a pretty simple thing to take out the seats. Wripping of the door panels and such to do any wiring is usually the tougher part of any of it ^_^
