I am not sure how new this box is so nobody may have it yet , I just noticed it in my store literature the other day.

I don't really use the lower half of my center console anyways so this would be ideal. I could keep my underseat storage in the back as well.

I imagine this thing would kick *** with the 13w3 in it.

Definately going to have to try it out!!

I havent heard any really good things about it.

I had the under center cushion setup in my 2nd gen. It had a 12w3 and it sounded great for the $275 I paied for it. Retail I believe was over $500 and there's no way I'd spend that on it. Found it locally on craigslist.

Now for my 3rd gen I feel the best way to go is the Hot Box sub enclosure. There's a guy on ebay that sell it. Its color matched and can hold a any 10 or smaller 12's. I will be loading it with a JL 10w6 when I get the cash. The ebay box was about $130 and then all you need is a speaker.

Way better setup then the JL, besides I heard that box sounds like crap for the $$$ spent.

Search "hotbox" or any other sub related topic here and you will have hours of reading.

That box is not worth it in my opion. If it was the great everyone would have one.

The mega cab box is awesome but only fits the mega cab.

I know the stealthbox is expensive but look at the build quality and think about the R&D on it. It is definately worth the price!!

I will be buying this as soon as possible and will do a write up on it when I get it.

I had a JL stealth box in my last vehicle and the quality was well above and beyond most premade boxes..it sounded awesome. I didn't know this console one was out, now you have me thinking... I didn't want to give up the storage space under the rear seat, but I hardly ever use the below the center seat area. Hmm. Let us know if you try it out, Precision!

Well Guys, I got the stealthbox in.

I was going to take how to pics but did not have time.

I will just say this, it is amazing!!!! I have had many sub setups over the years and this is definatley one of the best sounding.

I am running it with a JL 500/1 and using a 300/4 on the highs. I put JL 4" coax's in the factory dash locations and left the factory 6x9 in the doors for now (8" later).
I crossed over the 4" from 250HZ. up , the 6X9 from 63HZ to 250HZ , and the sub from 80 HZ down using the crossovers in my new Eclipse CD7200MKII.

Wow is all I have to say! I am rarely happy with a system, I am constantly changing and tweeking things but I have to say so far so good!!
