Rear Pocket Sub Box

Steve-NC

My concern with this enclosure is that it states a 5" max depth and a 4" magnet diameter, obviously implying some obstruction at the far end. But how far? I might be able to get a decent shallow sub, but how shallow does it have to be? A 4" magnet? I think the stock speaker in my old Sentra was bigger... So, I waited a day to hear some info about the dimensions of the box. I called back and he said that they didn't have one in stock and they were building one so they could measure it... (No drawings, sketches, napkin scribblings?) He tells me to hang on as he makes his way into the shop; saws and hammers drowning him out as he whistles to get someone's attention. Eventually, he gets back to a lower decibel area and says, "It's around 5" deep and 4" or 4 1/2" across at the bottom." *sigh* Ok, how far down before it goes to 4"? "Oh, 3" or 4". You can buy the box and then find subs that fit." I don't think so...

Meanwhile, my local shop quoted me a Stealthbox for $771 (and, yes, they are an authorized JL dealer), which makes it much more palatable. It would have been at least $400-500 with the 8" setup, depending on what subs I could have shoe-horned in. Not worth the "savings".
