stealth boxes only offer an internal depth of 8", there should be enough room on the face to make the hole bigger in diameter but it is the speaker depth that causes the problem. You will have to find a speaker with a face to the rear of the magnet with a measurement under 8" that can live in .6 cubic ft of air.

The sub has a mounting depth of about 7 inches, so it should fit in that sence, but im not sure how the .6 cuft airpsace will work for it :S Im not terribly concerened on how the airpsace is going to effect the acoustics of it, i really just need a place for a single 12 to go thats out of the way for the t-tops, without resorting to a subthump box.

That is a pretty small amount of space be a good choice possibly. What is the mounting depth? Is the .48 a sealed or ported box?

What speaker are you actually wanting to run or do you already have one? If your just wanting to add some bass to the system and not sound like an concert on wheels 10's actually put out a pretty good amount of sound, nothing like the 3 car away vibrations from a 15" but they sound good in the car. I used to have at least a pair of 15's in everything have since moved down to a single 12" in my truck and only notice a difference on really low notes just doesn't have the hit.

I already have a sub, its an Ultimate t2 (yes i know, weak sub) but i have the sub and matching amp, so id rather not invent in another sub and amp. Im not looking for amazing sound or incredibly hard hitting bass, i just want it to have more bass then it would without the sub :S

I cant find any dimensions or air space recommendations for that speaker but I am betting it is pretty large on the magnet 43.5oz. Give the company a call and see if it can work in the given amount of space and what the mounting depth is. I am betting it will need at least 1 cu ft but you might get lucky.

If I dont have the required amount of air space, how is that going to effect the sub? If it just wont put out full sound potential then im not to worried, but if its going to damage it...

It will sound really tight because it can't move correctly, can damage the speaker core as well causing it to rattle.

No, don't use the Kicker. SQ on them is crap.

Fi Q12. EASILY. Considerably higher quality than the Kicker, and also has so much more Xmax that it will actually displace more air than the Kicker, even though the Kicker is square.
