Subthump or Kee Audio stealthbox for Trans Am? I've read some threads about fitment issues with Subthump on the Firebirds. Anyone order one recently to chime in?
I will be running a JL Audio 10w3v3. Just looking to see what experience people have had recently with either box and my sub combo. Thanks!

for pontiacs, I would recommend kee audio. I posted up awhile ago the issues I had with my subthump box. I was trying to return it, but he was adamant that the issue was with my car and that it must have been an accident (even though it never has) and did not let me return it. He finally let me send it back to him to trim the front piece. The fitment is ok, but definitely could be better.
I spoke with Kee audio in the meantime and found out that their box is designed from a pontiac while subthump used a camaro for the initial mold. The camaro cutout is alittle bit deeper than that of firebirds, hence the reason why I had fitment issues.

Generally it just is pressure fit in there. Once you get it in it's a tight fit...wow that doesn't sound right...anyway, when you put the hatch plastic back over it they never move. I have slid the T/A around sideways a few times with that enclosure in there and it doesn't move.
As for my enclosure vs. Subthump. Both are great quality and do the job fine. Subthump is a different design and will accommodate a deeper sub then mine. Of course I also can modify mine to allow a larger sub as well which I have done a few times.
Both are quality and will make great bass in a compact space.

Yep. I do not have anything for an L7 currently....sorry! If there is anything else I can help you with just let me know!
As for a W3V3 JL subs my enclosure would be fine and work very well with that sub. It is similar to the CDT HD1000CF I use alot and have used the W3 a few times. Sounded great!

Help a NEWB Kee! Im an Fbody Newb.. and a proud one at that, love my new (to me) TA. Anywayrs, the system the guy has in it when sold to me is stock monsoon and some nice kicker 12's, after alot of tuning I have it sounding descent enough, here is my issue as many others have discussed in the forum, tweeter placement, more importantly, leg block!! From all I can tell (like I said, newb) you are the trusted man with Fbody audio, and I love the look of your products, do you or anyone you know of have tweeter suggestions? A-pillar somewhere/6LE Pods? love the look of the pods but if $175 is not necessary... well... any help would be great guys! and correct me if Im wrong, tweeters are wired to the head unit, NOT the monsoon amp, so ive heard.... so I could replace with aftermarket no problem?
