Default subs

does anyone know where i can get 10" custom Sub-box with the targe-top fitting in without a problem? i have a pair of subs right now but the problem is the targe-top doesn't fit unless i start moving the box around and i found out that it could be very annoying doing that.

JL Audio makes the stealthbox with a 10" sub in it. They have a couple of different styles that should work for you application.

I am in houston and am having custom car stereo design a box to fit a 10' woofer and two amp but still allows the top to fit in the back. They are supose to mount the 10 at an angle facing the back of the car. I will have some pics by the weekend when I pick it up.

Cool! Details, please! Materials, pictures, plans, etc. Did you use the storage boxes in the rear?

Here's the thread I started last week. I have a link to some pics of a custom enclosure I had made. My top fits in the back over the sub without a problem.

If anyone is interested in one like mine let me know. I already have one extra one built but not carpeted yet. Mine clears the top perfectly and I do not get any vibration from the top when it is locked into position in the trunk (I was afraid that might happen).

Here is a sub box/ amp rack combo I built. The top fits. I actually am not going to run this box much longer. I've just ordered the C6 JL stealthbox. I'm going to pull out the crappy JL sub and use that Image Dynamics one instead.

Did I hear 'crappy' and JL sub used in the same sentence?

It's a W3, decent sub, but no W6 or W7.

W6v2 IMHO is the best sub JL makes by far, Image dynamics are great subs as well though.

Let me clarify, the 10w3v2 is a crappy sub in that it is overpriced for what you get. The w6v2 and w7 are among the best sounding subs out there. The w6v2 most likely will not fit in the stealthbox for the C6 due to the size of the magnet. That ID v.3 is more musical and hits much harder than the 10w3v2, and its only $98! I like ED ov2 subs as well.

I'd love to take on a project like that......what materials are involved? I wonder if I can do that in the rear of my vert and use the storage bins as a place to put the subs. Build a box to fit over the storage bins, and have amp sit in between.
