Default 1997 f250 sub box

hey can anyone tell me where i could fit a sub box in my 1997 ext cab f250. Id like to have a box so the the rear seating would still be accessible to passengers. Any advice on where to put it, dimensions, or even where i could find a custom built box would be appreciated. Thanks!

Having a hard time finding one myself. I thought about under the seat but it would be very tight.

yeah i thought about that too but i'd like to fit a decent sized sub in there. Preferably i'd like to get 2 10 inch square Kicker's but theres no way i could fit them. The only thing I have found thats good on space is the Kicker Hide-away. Its an 8 inch sub that is connected to a 150w amp but id like to have some more power than that. I also thought about putting a box with one sub in the middle of the floor on the back seat so it would still be accessible by two people or even 3 but the person in the middle would just have to strattle the box.

There are some shallow subs that might fit. I forget which ones though

I did two 12" RF Punch 1's and 300W amp under the rear seat in mine, but the "lift kit" I got for the rear seat (for everything to fit) jacked up the seat too much that only little kids and/or midgits could ride in back.

If you're wanting to keep your full seat in back and it still be functional, go shallow mount OR maybe if you are willing to sacrifice a little seat space, fab a two sub center console box that sits on the middle of the rear seat with one speaker facing forward and the other facing up. Something kind of like below...
