Believe it or not, the carpet does nothing negatve to the sound at all. The gaurd over the sub keeps the carpet off of it. Plus, I don't need people to know what I have unless I show it to them.

aggie300zx - where does the show take place - Just PM me and i'll let you check it out

 

Finally found my camera! As you can see it isn't much of a Stealth Box, but its a quick fix if you don't want to do anything custom.

 

One more time.

 

Well, I went ahead and got the stealthbox. It is a nice clean fit, and definitely nice. I wish I could listen to it though! The a$$munch I bougth the amp for this box on ebay is having "delivery issues" ...

He is about to get on my bad side really freaking quick here in a minute ...

 

Thanks ZNizzy. I like it. You still have most of the back for storage and its not IN YOUR FACE.

 

Hey guys how much are these stealthboxes going for and where did you all get them from locally/or the net?

 

I got mine at a local authorized JL shop here in San Diego for $729 before tax. Most of the places I called and asked for a quote ranged from that to $750. I am not sure you can get them on the web, because it is a special order item from JL itself. You will have to go through an authorized dealer.

 

I also got mine though an authorized dealer. I tried to get it from JL last year when they were building the prototype but they referred me to a dealer. $750 bucks

 

I ended up buying the Stealthbox, it's still on order.

 

$750!! That's a ton for what you're getting. I HIGHLY recommend trying to get the drivers seperately, and building a box that fits the same way. The same setup can easily be done for 350 bucks.

Maybe a pic from the drivers seat looking back into the hatch would change my mind, but it looks really simple.

 

How you figure $350? The subs alone that they are using (10w3v2?) from the cheapest place online I could fine were $160 each...so your already at $320. While the box is nothing that crazy, it would still cost you at least over $200 to have built at a good stereo shop. So yes, I could see this being done for cheaper than $750 but not at a price of $350. Now if you are going to build it yourself than thats a different story, but a lot of folks will end of paying more due to the simplicity of the transaction.

 

I agree. It can definitely be done for less than $750 bucks but by the time you buy the subs and spend the time building the box it is definitely going to cost over $750 bucks. I don't have as much time as I did when I was younger so the trade off was fine. I also don't have any experience working with fiberglass.

 

Does anyone have detailed pictures of the JL Steath box before and/or after installation? I'm considering making some changes to my custom install (I need a bit more cargo space. . .as if, huh ) but wanted to have more detailed look at the JL box installed. Thanks!

 

If you go to the JL website you can get a detailed PDF on how to do the installation with pictures.
