New member Username: FiberPost Number: 7 Registered: Mar-06 | i have a 97 silverado ext and i had the seperate box's under the seat they will get loud but they won't get very deep with any sub more high bass i took my back seat out and installed a custom sealed box to take up the whole back and it is so loud I cant stand it plus since a silverado's cab is so small it makes it even louder than say something like a suv or car. |
