JDN17 and bwm,
They had to move it forward about 1/3 of an inch so they had to re drill the existing hole to reposition, then they added a new spacer that was 1/3 of an inch wider. Very minor adjustments. There is no rattle because the box is mounted right into the wheel well itself. I will add some pictures within the next week. As for the cost I am not sure, since it was a prototype there was a swap of the use of my H2 for the box. I paid an installer $100 for the installation of the amp and the box. JL audio is one if not the top of the line speakers so I am sure it will not be cheap. ![]() Ang UPS |
I called my local tweeter today and they quoted me at 749.00 for the stealthbox...and they said it would take about 2 weeks to come in

It is not worth that kind of money you can make a removable box with 2 JL 12's for about $450
|
Is the box Ported (has a hole) or Sealed (no hole)? I'm not trying to be a smartass but you didn't answer the question earlier.
Thanks for your help. |
I got quotes from 2 local dealers. The box is $749. They recommend the JL 500 amp that is about $450-500. Also have labor, wires, audio converter to tie into Bose system, etc. They total quote was $1500-1600. I they also said the box would not be available for a few weeks.
I plan to get one right away. That speaker in it is a monster. |
Sorry Longhorn,
The box is sealed. |
Perfect, a sealed box is what I want. They aren't as efficient, but they produce much more tight accurate sound.
Now I need to find an interior tire mount. I think the dealership kept mine when they put on the rear carrier. Thanks |
LonghornRockcrawler,
You don't need the tire mount, it's just there to show that you can have it or not. Hope this helps. AngUPS |

I have a single 12W7 and it sounds awesome. Probably the equivalent of 2 of the older series 12" subs. |
You are right ZYX I am basing it on wholesale price for W6v2's which the box has one of but retail for a box with 2 w6 would be around $850

I have decided to do some upgrades since mine was broken into and the video system stolen. I am changing the complete system. I was sold the JL stealth box for $599 and it is being powered be a JL Audio 500/1 amp. With all the equipment being installed I will have it back next week.

I'm getting the same setup installed at my local Tweeter on 3/6...the JL Stealthbox and the JL 500/1 amp...total was like $1600-something for everything, but I think it'll sound great and I'll get to keep all the cargo area. That's all I'm looking for!

Anyone know who made these? Found them on the CarDomain <sp> site but cannot get in touch with the owner of the H2 they are in.

I look up the stealthbox on JL Audio's web site and it looks like they changed the speaker to a W6 instead of the W7. While the W6 is a good sub, it is not in the same league as the W7

I Have never read anywhere that is was to be a W7. I will post some picks early next week.They have all the wires in and the nav mounted as well as the amp rack built. I should get it back by Saturday or Monday.

JL Audios first press release said the stealthbox came with a W7 12" subwoofer, the enclosure size might have been too small for the W7 and they decided to change it. I think either way it's going to sound great. Let us know how it sounds. I will probably install this in my H2 as well.

I'd be very suprised if that "stealthbox" could handle a W7... Those things HIT!!!

I have an interior tire mount and cover "4 sale". I mount my tire on the roof ala Gobi. Contact me via private message. SRFCASTR |
Over the weekend I had my JL Stealthbox and a JL 500/1 amp installed...way more bass than I could've ever wanted. It does come with a 12W6 and even at low power the bass in incredible from the thing. Best of all, I have full use of all the cargo space, minus of course the left pocket in the back where the Stealthbox actually is.
