Drahcir495 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Did a search, but couldn’t find an answer. I have a kicker powered subwoofer box. It’s a bit heavy, but I still would like it on the back panel behind the seat. Will putting this 1/4” plywood on the back be enough to support it? Any other things I should consider?

Smokeyyank Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 It should work, only other thing to consider is making sure what ever it's mounted to is secure so it doesn't rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 It will, I ran a very similar setup before. The trick is to really secure and insulate that panel. That back cab bulkhead can't handle sub vibrations very well. Expect to find a great number of rattles if mounted there along with lackluster performance. Thicker MDF board will do better.

Drahcir495 Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Thanks Smokyyank. Not to sound ignorant, but what is MDF board? How thick can I fit behind the panel? I definitely don’t want it to make unwanted noise. 57 minutes ago, ghetdjc320 said: It will, I ran a very similar setup before. The trick is to really secure and insulate that panel.

I definitely don’t want it to make unwanted noise. Medium density fiber board. It’s what they make most speaker cabinets with. Denser than particle board and very smooth. Can be found at pretty much any lumber yard. I would an 3/4”. When you say “fit behind the panel” are you talking about the original panel? I didn’t have one when I got my truck so I just used the mdf board as a replacement for the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drahcir495 Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Good to know. Yes, I’m wondering how thick of MDF can I fit behind the original carpet covered panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahcir495 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 I will have to check on that. I should see if it can be put any other way in. I will have to bring it with me tomorrow to bring it by the truck to see other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
