Im trying to find pictures other than what JL offers on their website. And I did a search and nothing came up anyone?

Also, if you have one -- how do you like it? Doesnt seem to me the way the sub is angled that it would sound the greatest. Not looking for anything spectacular, just a little something to give my the Mach460 a little bump.

i just bought a rockford one. its A LOT lighter then the old custom setup i had in there (by about 70 lbs :eek: )

im just waiting for my new alpine sub to arrive to install it

It's probably not worth the money, and if I remember correctly they throw one of JL's cheapest subs in it. I have a 10" Infinity reference in a sealed box with 200 watts to it, and I feel that a bit more bass would destroy the sound balance of the 460.

i heard one at my local stereo store...it was in a vert and sounded great. I am thinking of taking out my 12" JL W6 and going with the 10" stealth box. On the website it shows the coupe box uses a W1 and the vert box uses a W6 subwoofer which is better. The W1 10" is still a nice sub just not made for pounding with lots of power.

the fitment is great! the bolt that holds it inplace is kinda a pain, much easier with another person helping. also ignore the rear trim piece of the trunk, it was busted up when i got the car

theres a rubber plug over there, if you pop it out you can see down through the frame rail. it comes with a long bolt you basically stick up from the bottom of the frame rail and theres some threads in the bottom of the box.

If you compare the JL Stealthbox to the Rockford one it really does look like the same company made the box. The only difference appears to be the woofers that are used and the Stealthbox has carpet rather then paint.

I think I am going to order one of these Rockford enclosures since they are so much cheaper. At that price I can always throw out the rockford sub and put in a quality JL sub.

i really like the JL box. Any idea how much they run? I don't know how partial I am to going from a 12" to a 10" though...

10's sound WAY better that 12's to me....12's are just for my Punch...10's are for sound quality.

1 High quality 10 is way better than some BS 12....it will sound way cleaner

it sounds pretty good to me! only thing is to get full fell of the bass i have to put one of the back seats down. im thinking its because it faces the side of the car and not front/back

even with the seats up tho you can still hear/feel the extra bass, justn ot as much

im happy with it
