Question can you any of you audiophiles help out...sub box for t/a, fb, ws6?

i tried searching but there was a ton to sift thru so i thought id start my own thread. been out of the audio scene for a while but was looking into getting a sub box for the ws6. wanted something clean looking and ive found these three. they have pros and cons...any suggestions? maybe you know a better brand?


good: comes w/ 2 rf subs (dont know if they are worth a flip) & looks clean.
bad: takes up all the t-top area. cant see the subs...not sure what going on.
price: $324.99

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...11379479878780



good: can customize. cheap (no subs tho). looks decent...not a good as the first box
bad: no subs, no t-top storage
price: $240

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...11379479878780



good: looks good...still not a good as the first box. can hold t-tops
bad: no subs. dont know what shipping will be.
price: $270 plus shipping???

that last box looks like it only hold one t top, and it doesnt look like there is a way to clamp it down... pretty much every install is going to eliminate your t top area..

My plans are for two shallow 12's fiberglassed in the back seat walls, I do functional installs, I hate it when someone comes in with their dd and want their entire trunk done up with glass... most of them come back in a year and ask me to make it functional because they have no storage

this is my box from subthump with (2) 10s. I can still put both t-tops in the slot at the front. You have to remove the factory holders, but both fit in there with no problems.

I've got a stealth box that mounts a single 10" sub where the 12 disc changer goes.

It's sitting in the garage taking up space, PM if interested

I am a fan of the Subthump box. I have used the Q-Form box that you have pictured above and it is NOT very good. It looks nice...I will give it that. The enclosure was not very good though. The Subthump is far superior.
If you want some good subs to go in that enclosure I have several VERY good options for that.

adam...im near the dfw area. what were you wanting for the setup and what comes with it? i got a friend in houston that was looking to get one. joe actually told me about this brand...i'll let him know. im lookin to get 12's myself.


hey kee...how much do you want for the box? is it new or used? got subs with it? doesnt look like it holds the t-tops tho. im thinking that i need one that holds the tops cause i tried putting them in the back seat and that is not gonna work. i wont risk leaving the tops at home either....with my luck.

Joe sent me a PM, thanks for mentioning it to him. The pic with the Kickers i posted is the 12inch box, obviously cut for square subs. Cant say enough the fitment of the box and the way it looked was second to none with out going with a full custom built box.

I wouldn't worry about the box too much. Get something you like to look at and won't empty your wallet.... then empty your wallet on a good sub, lol. Not really, but do make sure you get a good quality sub. I have a stealth box with just one 10'' 500 watt sub from JL Audio and holy **** that thing kicks. Best bass I have ever heard. Not just ridiculous amount of bass, but clear and precise as well.

And the only thing I bought from subthump was an amp rack, and it fit like a square peg in a round hole. I hate it and will burn it when I make my own.
