Stealthbox™ for H2

[AngUPS]

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.

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.

[AngUPS]

Sorry Longhorn,
The box is sealed.

[Longhorn]

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.

I'm not sure what driver they are using with the Stealthbox, but you could not get two 12" W7's at anywhere close to that price.

I have a single 12W7 and it sounds awesome. Probably the equivalent of 2 of the older series 12" subs.

[GOT DIRT?]

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!

[Easy Ed]

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'd REALLY like to see a pic with no spare tire.

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!!!

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.
