Just got a '98 Tahoe and the first thing I want to do is put my stereo equipment back in. I miss my system. So I don't want a big box in the cargo area. I was thinking of using the rear 1/4 panel cavities. I've searched a lot and all I see are big boxes, under the rear seat and consol boxes. I have 2 JL's 10W6's and I want to get them in somewhat hidden. I know I will have to pretty much rebuild that 1/4 panel cover and it willl stick out more than the stock one, but better then a big box. I'll be doing sealed boxes anyways. Anyone seen this done?

anything can be done once u set ur mind to it i did a set of 8s in the rear panels snd looked sounded great just depends on how good u want it good luck post pics
Well, I'm not 100% sure I will do doing them there. I'm not big on just throwing a box together and toss it in the back. I need the rear a/c, but all the jack stuff I don't mind cutting out. I'm assuming that those who have looked at this thread haven't seen anyone do it before? I would like to see how other have done it. We'll see how much patience I have. I really want my stereo back. A box might be a temporary neccessary.

sorry no other pics basicially measured the space thats back there, made that box and cut out the sheet metal behind the trim panel.after i got the box in there i attached the box to truck with some angle brackets then carefully cut the hole in the trim panel for the 10" sub. i got about .75 cu ft of air space
That something like I'd like to do, but I don't want to mess with the rear a/c stuff though. I think with keeping the 10w6's I'm going to have to build a box that will sit in the cargo space. Not ideal for me, but I'd rather keep the 10w6's then go to a sub that will fit under the rear seat. I loved the 10w6's in my last vehicle.

The 10w6's probably aren't going to sound as good as they did in the other vehicle. Of course I don't know the vehicle. I'm assuming it was something rear firing with appropriate airspace.
