Default Stealthbox for C6 Convertible

Yes, that's right....it's finally here!

Since the current Vette stealthbox doesn't fit in the convertible, JL decided to produce one that would. It consists of two enclosures, sitting right behind the seats along side the waterfall. It will house 2 JL 8w3v3s. These speakers are being released next month. I had the prototype installed today and let me tell you.............they absolutely rock! Very clean, very tight, and very powerful. On my way home I was going about 80 on I-95. Can't hear your stereo with the top down? You can now!

A brief recap on my system:
1. Head unit: Bose Nav
2. Signal: PAC AOEM-GM24
3. Remote turn on: Mini Add-A-Circuit.
4. Amps:
Front - JL 300/2
Subs - JL 250/1
5. Speakers:
Front - JL XR 650 CSi's
Subs - 2 JL 8w3v3's
6. Amp rack: two amps, two crossovers and power / ground distribution blocks.

For details, refer to my threads in the Audio Section - C6 FAQ. Full writeup and installation details are there.





Should be out in about a month or two.

Congrats Craig!

I know it's been a slow, long, winding road, results look great!

It sure has been a slow, slow, slow, slow road!

The project has been a lot of fun, though, and I'm glad I was able to participate. I told the guy down there that the next time he needs a car for a model, he can just keep it for a few weeks. He had suggested that initially, but I was reluctant. The back and forth is partly what slowed it down so much.

The 8" subs are proably a good choice for a vert. Nice looking amp rack too.
