I'm trying to get a 12" Stealthbox that will fit on my driver's side trunk. But, the only one that I have found was from here http://www.subthump.com/acamarostealth.htm But it's constructed out of fiberglass and it's quite expensive.

Now, does anybody know of any other 12" Stealthbox available for the driver's side, and also is there an advantage in sound in the fiberglass setup?

Thanks

 

ill save u time and money.

do not get a 12' stealth box.
there is no way that thing has enough air space for a
good sub.

 

Why is it a waste of time and money? I have a 1.25 cubic foot stealthbox for a 12 in my room now, and ive got my setup all tuned out to maximize it. im also looking for a 1 cu ft one. they also make some subs that are designed for small airspace, some JL's and Type R's also..........not a waste IMO.

well if ur looking for some thing with tight bass that will be good.
but if ur looking for bone crushing bass i am saying u might need a bigger box.

 

Nah, I'm not looking for bone crushing bass. Just looking for some decent lows, but to a point I can feel the bass, too.

 

FWIW, im setting up 2 systems.............1 with a brahma 12 with 1000Wrms going to it in a 1.25 cu ft fiberglass stealthboxand another with a brahma 12 with 1200Wrms in a 1 cubic foot stealthbox.......I'm expecting both tight and bonecrushing bass, its the nature of the combo. should be installing the 1.25 box soon, ill let you know how it turns out. All im saying is that you can do it. ive heard a JL 12W6 in one and it sounded great....

What effect would too small a volume have on the sub's performance?

 

Lack of low frequency extension is going to be the biggest difference. Increased power handling will be a plus.....

 

See if you can find a used box that BJ made (a member who posted here).

I have one of his 12" driver's side stealthboxes, with an IDQ12 sub, and it pounded (amp died, working on getting it fixed).

There is enough airspace if you pick the right sub and amp, that it will fill in the music nicely, and hit hard enough to rattle the spoiler.

 

There is enough air space if you take advantage of it all. I bought a fiberglass sub box that is a little on the small side for my taste. I'm actually going to try and sell it. It is for a 12" sub I had my IDV2 12 in it and it pounds hard enough to make the hair on your head move. If you like higher bass that pounds this thing would be great. You can contact me at zigcaddy@aol.com, I will sell it for a loss at $150.

I am currently making my own fiberglass enclosure that is going to be about .9 cu ft which is exactly what an IDV2 requires. I have spent several hours on this thing so far and it is going quite well. All I have to do is add more layers of fiberglass inside.

Do you have pics? And also, how do I know I can trust you?

 

Bighurt... If you're talking to me I don't know how you can trust me, but if you're interested in the box I have for sale you can pay via paypal and I think they will insure it so you don't get screwed. I just bought this thing myself, here is the web site the guy that sold it me showed me. The exterior of the box looks like that, though his pics are kinda bad. The top pick is not of this box it is a different box and the caption is not true.

Below is a pic of the box installed in my car. Note the front part of the trim needs to be trimmed for the panel to actually sit correctly in the car.



Just send me an e-mail if you are interested. I'm guessing this box is about .6-.7 cu ft.

FWIW, the pics that Y2KPewter linked look almost exactly like the box I have. So I imagine it would work just as well as mine does (very well).

 

Why not get the 10" stealth with a JL W6v2? That thing would sound DAMN great!. I got a W3 in mine and it beats harder than alot of 12's...just need the right amp!

 

The biggest advantage to a fiberglass box is you can make a sealed up enclosure that will fit into that cubby area in the back and try to use up the maximum space avaliable. The downside in some regards is if you do it yourself it's not all that easy and if you buy it, well it's expensive for it's not all that easy to do.

Currently I don't know of any other 12" driver side boxes avaliable but I'll keep you in mind if I find any.
