Poll on how you installed your stealthbox
Got my Stealthbox today and was looking at installing it. I cut out the carpet and padding. I put the stealthbox and it fits snug. Do I really need to drill the holes in the bottom of the well? It seems that with the cover brackets it would hold just fine and snug.
Also would it be a good idea to put a layer of dynamat on the well wall before putting the stealthbox in?
So did you drill the holes to install the stealthbox?
Thanks!

I ended up drilling the holes and doing it exactly per the JL instructions. It wasn't too bad.
I also put a small amount of dynamat around the well. Not sure if it made and difference since I didn't know what it sounded like before....

Re: Poll on how you installed your stealthbox (92TripleBlack)
Are you talking the holes through the bottom of the well? They said to use a layer of caulk in between the larger washer. I did this. Do you have any other recommendations to seal it up? What would you put on the screws? Caulk as well?
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

You may want to put something to seal the holes on the screws so they don't leak. Has happened many times before.

You got it covered. Sometimes when you drill a hole in the bottom and put a screw in it it can still leak. The chalk should be sufficient to seal it. I used silicon sealant or buetle (windshield edge black sticky stuff) to seal holes.

Thanks for the help. Appreciate it. I will probably put one more layer of the clear sealant over the top after I tighten the bolts one last time.

Re: Poll on how you installed your stealthbox (dba4life)
I've got a coupla q's about this box too...
1. Where do you pickup a signal for the sub?
2. Do you need an amp to drive the sub?
3. What a good price for the JL sub & amp (is needed)
4. Any suggestions on amp selection (i.e. power output, mounting location)
I'm REALLY new to the whole "car audio" scene & could really use some advice.
