Post Who makes sub box for drivers side cubby?

Hi, I'm looking to install a sub in the drivers side cubby of my '99 TA Firehawk (in that small alcove where the factory cd changer usually sits). Does any company make a sub box specifically for this area on the '93-'02 F-body? Is so, please provide the name, and maybe even a link to their site. Thanks!

MTX makes what is called the Thunderform. JL makes 2. The regular Stealthbox comes with a subwoofer. The Vantage Stealthbox is the enclosure alone.

Where is the best place to get one? Can anyone tell me how they sound, as in if this box with a single 10 throws a good amount of bass? Also, what subwofer would you reccomend for it?

Thanks for the link to JL; this is exactly what I was looking for. I don't want to make any permanent changes to such a rare car as my Firehawk, and like the fact that I can still store the T-tops in the trunk. I will find out who sells JL stuff locally.

Due to JL's policy regarding online sales of their products it is practically impossible to find them for sale at typical online discount prices. Your best bet would probably be to buy one used on eBay.

I'm using a JL Vantage Stealthbox in my ride. I couldn't be happier with it. Especially since I switched from a JL 10W3 to an Alpine Type-S subwoofer. While the JL is an excellent sub, the Alpine seems to be a much better match for the enclosure's .6 cubic feet of volume.

Thanks LS1 RULZ, I will go visit a few of my local car audio stores, and see what kind of deal they can get me on a similiar setup to yours, thanks.
