Default Different route for a stealth sub

After spending too long trying to find a decent sub for my stealth box I decided screw it and ordered a Polk dxi 104dvc. I know it's not the normal choice but the specs seem in line with my requirements. If sounds like crap I'll return it, but I'm not looking for top sq or extreme low end, I can throw my 12's back in if I get bored.

Size 10 -inch
Impedance 4 ohms
Cone Material Polymer Composite
Surround Material Butyl rubber
Ideal Sealed Box Volume (cubic feet) 0.66
Ideal Ported Box Volume (cubic feet) 1.25
Port diameter (inches) 4
Port length (inches) 12
Free-Air No
Dual Voice Coil Yes
Sensitivity 86 dB at 1 watt
Frequency Response 28 - 200 Hz
RMS Power Range (Watts) 50-270
Peak Power Handling (Watts) 540
Top Mount Depth (inches) 5 3/8
Bottom Mount Depth (inches) 5 7/8
Cutout Diameter or Length (inches) 9 1/8
Vas (liters) 33.3
Fs (Hz) 35
Qts 0.62
Xmax (millimeters) 18.5

On another note, I may be missing something but how are you you all keeping the box from falling out of the cubby during spirited driving?

The box sits inside the cubby space behind the plastic panel. The plastic panel holds it in.

Mine is held in very tightly by my amp rack and the hardware used to install the amp rack.

Cool, I knew it fit in there, was wondering if anyone had done anything special to secure it.

My route Infinity Basslink in the spare tire hole. I have since put some dynmat like material in there to help with sound suppression.

^^^How is that secured/fastened to the car? If it's just sitting there, seems like it would rattle around a lot.

That's a good idea with the Basslink. Looks lime its wedged in there pretty tight.

Well I got the Polk in today and am pretty impressed. Sounds better than I expected for the money, just need to tweak the settings some more. Plus I love having my t-top storage back!
