This was my original plan for my trunk just so it was totally stealth but after some talk wit Wicked C.A.S I opted to show off the sub. I figured i do have a 13" in my trunk why not show it off haha. Trunk is still useable and of course the sub has a grill incase of anything. Plus with the perforated carpet it will sit more flush as oppose to how it looks with the grill sticking up...

The sub box is great quality but it really should be flush imo.

Of course anyone can get that flush look but there would have to be no grill on the sub. Not really wise in my opinion because of the position of the sub but people can do wat they want. Even with the grill my sub will sit more flush once i get the carpet put in. U guys will see more pics once that gets put in...

i wish there was a hard cover or something up top wout the grill to make it sit flush. The whole point of this box was for it to be completely stealth.

Sub is pretty much flush, only reason it sticks out is beacase of the grille.

If it was ordered with a 10" sub (depending on the sub) and no grill you could lay your carpet right over the sub. Again no grille. I have seen other members build the box and lay the carpet right over the woofer.

#2 option is to have the styrofoam black piece over the box and lay the carpet over it as well. this will raise the floor about 3/4" or so.

All this without spending an extra dime.

If you were to lay them on the ground this is how it would look upside down.

+1 Stealth is/was the reason I was following this thread.

The box is stealth, as stealth as you want it to be realy.



If you prefer a TOTAL stealth look, simply lay your carpet over it with no grille.

If you want to use the grille and still be stealth simply use the black styrofoam lay it on top of the box and lay the carpet across the trunk.

If you prefer to see the subwoofer and have a grille, well pictures are shown with the sub and a grille expodes.

PRICING WILL BE AVAILABLE AS SOON AS I AM A FORUM SPONSOR WHICH IS IN THE WORKS. I JUST WANT TO FALLOW THE RULES.

THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE.

Wow that turned out great! I would definitely want to show off my sub if I had that setup, but I can understand those wanting the stealth look (I'm a "flashy" guy). I just don't like being limited to a shallow sub, but understand that with this design, that's your only option--unless I invert it, which would take up even more room than a standard enclosure (like the Zenclosure ones).

Any plans on making a fancy fiberglass rear firing one for standard size subs?

As designed-as-of-today, and as others previously asked, what is the tentative pricing with/without the sub?

Thanks.

I know I'm just one dude, so I probably don't matter much however, it's maddening that we can't get an answer/estimate on the price for this thing.

Why am I so anxious to get the price? Well I've got a shelf full of car stereo components that I'd like to get put in my car, I need to know if this is a viable option or will it be priced out of my desired spending limit.

$hit man $hit........

Like I said I orginally wanted stealth but seeing the sub exposed is really nice IMO. I can actually order a seperate carpet to switch it from being exposed and non expsed now that i think about it. U would be surprised how low the JL shallow sub hits. I was really surprised....

As soon as Wicked C.A.S gets their vendorship squared away this whole topic needs to be moved to its own thread....
