Hey everyone ! I'm trying to figure out if I can install an all in one subwoofer/amp combo by Kicker under one of the first 2 rows of seats. I don't know if there's going to be enough room or not for me to install it. I would check myself but unfortunately I'm a paraplegic confined to a manual wheelchair and it's hard for me to get a good view of it. I'm just trying to figure out where it will fit under.

Here's the link for it : http://www.crutchfield.com/p_20611HS8/Kicker-11HS8.html?tp=114
14-1/4"W - 3-1/4"H - 9-3/8"D

Do you think it might fit under one of the seats ?

Thanks so much in advance for your help,
-Colin

Looks fine to me. I'll go measure mine later. Are you interested in under the front row or in the cubby storage bins under the second row seat-bottoms?
 
Remember that your heat when set on floor will come out under the front seats - and this will probably block the vent...and heat up the amp more than its heating itself up.
I would imagine that the 2nd row cubbies would rattle like crazy and distort the bass as well. There is plenty of room between the carpet and the tray above the spare - although again the plastic may rattle and distort the bass. I would consider below the 3rd row, except that they compress down to nearly nothing when folded flat and I think 3 1/4" + ventilation is a no-go.
