console sub box 2005 eb 2wd

Ok guys, I'm putting a JL 10 in my console box. My question is about the Restraint Control Box. I plan on leaving it there but will it be able to handle the vibration. I plan on g-matting (dynomat) the box and the top of control box. Just worried my thump will set off my air bags.
Thanks

I've seen a company make this for our trucks...cant remember the brand but it was a good brand name...where is the restraint control box located? Are you talking about in the dash? you will be fine...I have been in trucks with 10-10's and nothing gets sets off...all factory...no changing location of parts...

That's true. It will be right on top of it. It is located directly under center console. Have to put it on there too maximize the space. Needed to leave some of the existing bracket to hold cup holder piece. To make fabrication much simpler(small rectangle box) as compare too an elongated intricate mold like the jl version.

U shouldn't have any problems

Box will be in the neighborhood of .57cuft. A little small, but with plenty of power should add some tight upfront bass. My biggest concern is rattling the crap in my console, now. We will see.

Console will be fine...my 18" shakes my entire truck...moving up to 2-18s

Just an update. Box deliver the deep front tones that are missing from the front 6x8s. The console itself doesn't seem to rattle at all. The vibrations really felt in your lumbar portion of the seats. I enjoy the sound being full and around me, instead of just pounding in the back. I am a little inclined to be a bass head so a pair of 12s back there is not out of the question.

The console shouldn't rattle...I have sn 18 in my truck on 2k rms and it doesn't rattle...even with 2-12s it doesn't have to bang... get an amp with a remote knob to control how the bass and power

Hey enskyte. I know it's been a while but could you send a picture or post of everything post install. I have a spare 10 and amp laying around. Thanks.

I didn't take any. But you can't tell it's in there at all. It's been a while, hard to remember details but I can try and help the best i can.

Ok thanks. If you don't mind, I'll pick your brain in the next few weeks. I'm putting in a new head unit and I think I'm going to have to do all kinds of extra electrical related since it's a DVD/NAV/Droid.

I had the ten under the seat of my Jeep Liberty, I have a spare amp. My Expy does not have the stock sub in the right rear, so I'm wondering if I should locate it there or in the console. I like the console idea since the kids will be in the back and I'll be up front. I bought some USB cig lighter receptacles for my two vacant spots, so I'll be tearing into the console next week to hook those up. Hopefully I'll be able to determine where to put it. Maybe I can reconstitute some of the leftover MDF from the liberty.
