Sub box seems too big and seat won't latch

I recently purchased a 12" Subwoofer box from Taco Tunes. The box looks great but I'm having some install problems. I'm installing into a 2020 TRD Off Road (Double Cab).

Everything seemed to go okay but I can't latch the seat and the sub seems to hit the rear of the seat when playing loud.

Anyone else have this problem or can recommend a better fitting box?

 

Try removing the mat that is behind the box from the factory it will give you a tad bit more clearence

 

Yeah, I don’t see how that sub
Has any room for excursion. How does that even work.

 

Really tight fit right there. Gonna need to find some room somewhere for that setup to work right.

 

Oh, and Big Welcome to TW while I’m at it.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. Got it to work. Needed to remove the plastic backing on the seat. Now it latches and doesn’t rattle (presumably from the sub hitting the back of the seat)

 

Be good if you could get all the room you can. Those move pretty far when you start gettin’ into it.

 

On the bright side, Taco Tunes didn’t rip you off like they usually do for most people.

 

Had a similar box in my 2008. It was from SuperCrewSound. I had to remove the bin, and the plastic from the back of the seat like you did. I have a 2020 Tacoma now, will not be doing that again. I missed having the ability to fold the seats down flat.

 

Can still do it if you add a thin piece of metal or something

 

You can get longer bolts for the rear seats.. and some spacers.. That's what I wound up doing. I added half inch spacers with the seat bolts.. You may have to bend the catch for the rear seat latch a little as well. Also if you move the bench seats up in the same manner with spacers the angle stays the same. It all depends on how much room you need. You may also have to remove the child seat restraints to get the box to sit farther back depending on the design.
