anyone have anidea how to build a box for subwoofers to go under the seat of my 69 chevy c/10? there is not much clearance under there

Well, I'd start with a sheet of plywood, a table saw and some Elmers glue . . .

Haha, just kidding, I've been thinking about the same thing under the seat of my '46 where the gas tank used to be. The only thing I can think is to make the box shallow and point the woofers right up your *$$. Other than that, I'd say the only option is to find a seat that's a little taller.

hay gmc if you wanted to you could cut out the frount metal under the seat and fit your boxes there for the 46

Check out the powered subs at Soundtrack or Circuit City. There are a few out there that will fit under the seat pointing up, and they really do sound impressive. I listened to an Infinity and I really fell in love with that one.

Another idea is, move the gas tank to a safer location than under your butt, and then any number of standard sub boxes would probably fit where the gas tank sits.

The nice thing about subwoofers is that bass will travel through anything, so it really doesn't matter where you put it. It's the treble you have to be careful with.

Where are you going to put your other speakers, out of curiosity?

I was thinking of putting a pair of tweeters up in the headliner, and midrange speakers in pine boxes kind of on the firewall under the dash. Then a powered sub under the seat.
