JL Audio Stealthbox

I am looking at something clean and sounds good, but not bulky. Looks good but I see no reviews. Anyone have any experience with this type of product? Or any other suggestions?

your getting majorly ripped off if your even thinking about getting that stealthbox. For $600 you can buy an amp, box and sub for around the same price and sound even better. What are you looking for? sound quality, loud bass, or to fill in the lost low notes of songs?

I just installed this in with my factory radio http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...e-R300-10.html

Sounds great. And I used this http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...AC-SOEM-T.html to hook it up. All I had to do was run the power wire and splice the pac unit into the rear speakers. It has a remote turn on wire built into it so I didn't have to worry about that.

Honestly, just something that packs a little more umph... and sounds clean. Without spending too much. and now that I look at it... that is ridiculous.

So no extra amp? And it sounds alright?

I recommend this package deal to you, I know you probably have never heard the brands but trust me you won't be disappointed, but they are good....their not mainstream they are not sold in best buy or anything. IMO i don't like to buy stuff that they sell at best buy like rockford fosgate and stuff. All your need is a box for the 2 10s built to the specs of the subs and a amp kit. I myself am running a sundown audio amp and never had a problem with it once. Should be a clean nice sounding setup.

Yeah the amp is built in on mine. They also make one with a 12" sub if you wanted to go that route. And it really does sound great.

If your looking for some bass, look into the bass packages at sonicelectronix.com. yes some of their bass packages are cheap but if your looking for decent bass and on the cheap side , the stuff the offer is more than enough.

I bought this a while back and still have it now and it works and sounds perfectly fine.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...-TNP212D2.html

amp is a bit too small in power for the the two subs, but it sounds pretty good. Look up some videos on youtube to get an idea of what they will sound like.

or something like this would be more than enough:

I'm all about custom stealth box. forget the box type, that gets old and it robs your trunk space.

600 for sub and box:

$150-175 for sub
$100 for material
$300 for labor

not that much of profit if you ask me. custom box takes time to make if you do it locally.

JL Audio makes the best stealth boxes out there and some of the best subwoofers period. Their stealth boxes are more than the competition because they fit better, are made of better materials(fiberglass instead of MDF), and they offer the best subwoofers for the money.

Are you satisfied with the sub?

Hifonics has good amps and pioneer woofers kick@$$ for the $. i have 2 12 inch kicker L7's installed in my 06 nissan Armada and a 1200 watt JBL amp and the whole truck is loose from the bass...like all the plastic pieces n stuff rattle like CRAZZYY.

Very. I had it in my RX8 hooked up to an aftermarket radio and it sounds just as good hooked up to the factory radio. The box fits perfectly in the trunk to where I didn't have to tie it down, the 12" sub would be taller and would require a tie down of some sort. Here's a pic of it, I still need to clean up all the wiring.




And this is from when I had it in the RX8

That looks terrific! If I dint have my spare amps and equipment I would have went this route as well. What gauge wiring are you using for power? Thanks

8 guage monster cable kit. I like this one cause it uses a blade style fuse holder that's already connected into the power cable. This would be the 3rd time I've used this kit. Ran the power wire thru the wiring harness gromment down the drivers side into the trunk, then grounded everything behind the passenger seat.
