Default JL stealth box update?

Its obviously all over their website that the next stealthbox under development for them is for our car. Seems like it should be out soon. I am going to call them tomorrow and get details as to what sub is included and what the setup and price will be. In the meantime......

Has anyone already done this or does anyone think they have a reasonable idea as to what the setup for our car "might be"

Thanks guys and gals

When you get a price do not fall to the floor they always over price their stuff and your going to pay for it. Me I would rather go with another company than spend it on a name like JL. Just my .02

Its virtually the same as the box for the 350Z. (2) 10W3V2s in an enclosure behind the rear strut bar - rear firing.

The Zenclosure is a better box with more flexibility. I was dissapointed that they didnt do something cool using the 13TW5 in an in-floor type enclosure like mine.

The 13TW5 is perfect for this car. I have mine turned way down and it adds a nice bottom end without drowning out my fronts. In a down firing enclosure it adds lots of tactile feel through the car so it doesent have to be loud to get the full effect. I perfected the transfer function by having it vent at the very back of the car firing straight up against the rear hatch window.

The result is true audiophile quality bass that cannot be localized in the car. Its sounds like it eminates from everywhere.

When I play DVD audio, its an amazing experience!!

Ouch. Maybe we need to get 2fast4thelaw to hook us up with his design.

Consider the price of most JL stuff (not sure about stealthbox) is an MSRP and local dealers will most likely be able to give you a much better deal.

I will give anyone the design and measurements to anyone who asks me. I just have to draw it up. Its not easy to build but if you have a table saw and some good woodworking tools and some patience its very do-able. You would have to use the 13Tw5 or something very similar that will play in a .8 cu ft enclosure.

I heard the box will cost $949.99 from JL Audio. I love JL Audio, but not that much. I have one 10W3 that looks good and it only cost $150. It's not the best out there but it sure does hit like hell!

Saw this on JL's Facebook page,
Leaving Facebook... | Facebook

Just slap the Zenclosure box in there for a little over $100 + a JL 12W6v2 for $375 online, and for half the $ you will get kicked in the azz with bass or as another great option, WickedCas's new sparetire design with the 13" JL slimline sub.

That would be really cool if you made some kind of drawing and posted it. I bet we could probably get it stickied or something.

Hey SlikNik, does the zenclosure box cause you to have to remove the middle strut bar, or does the box just butt up against it?
