SKAR audio 12 inch enclosure and some other stuff...

[MikeyHo808]

Recently upgraded my low end audio with the addition of a SKAR Audio single 12 underseat enclosure. Pretty good deal at 139.00 shipped on Amazon Prime.
Wound up having to ditch my underseat storage bin (replaced it with a storage bag which actually fit everything I had in that bin) but am really happy overall with the box. I do not regret giving up that space.
Very nice fit and finish. Solid build, clean carpet top, really nice. Sits flat and is designed with a elevated front to clear the floor mat as well.
Loaded it with an older JL Audio 12w1v2-4 sub and powered by a just as old JL Audio E1200 200 watt mono block amp I took out from my wife's car before we donated it years ago.
Also kept my Pioneer powered sub and am feeding it the preamp signal from the E1200. Watched a bunch of you tube videos to get mounting ideas and fabbed a plexiglass/wood panel to bolt to the back wall. Left extended tabs on plexi and used my heat gun to bend them into place, just like the videos, lol! Really happy how that board came out.
Unfortunately I suck at taking progress photos so all I got are after photos of the install. While I had the seats out, I also did the backrest mod.

I had previously upgraded my dash speakers to some JBL Club 322's and the doors to Infinity Primus 6x9's and 6.5's. I also upgraded from a PAC APSub to an AP4, and will install a JBL 4086DSP 8 channel amp when I get time.

Overall, super pleased with the end result. Lots of adjustable low end on tap now and much better audio quality with the speaker upgrades. Anyone considering the SKAR enclosure, I dont think you'll be disappointed for the price. You just have to be willing to give up the space for it.

Do you have a quad cab? My truck will be a quad cab.

Nope, I have a crew cab.

Looks good!

Man, I wish that was available last year when I was finding something that fit that location. I ended up cutting a dual under seat Silverado enclosure in half.

Thanks! Cheapest option out there, and I think they’re the only manufacturer making single enclosures.
Fit and finish is awesome, and I at least retained some storage space under the driver side seat by going with a single 12. Plenty bass to be had.

Mine is a kicker comp vx 12” with a kicker zx400 amp. The box spends most of its time out of the truck though, since it seems like I’m always folding the seat up and putting some big stuff on the floor.

How much does it overlap the hidden storage compartment? Did you have to trim your floor mat?

Is the nice thing about its design, too. It is cut out to fit over the floor mats and doesn’t even reach the floor bin. The front of it sits flush with the edge of the seat.

I’ve had the JL sub and amp for well over 15 years. Donated my wife’s 05 Altima about 6 years ago, so it’s been in my garage storage since.
Really just out the cost of the box and wiring on this one. Total budget upgrade and seriously amazed the gear still works!
