anyway to have decent bass and still use the slots for the t tops?

thanks

 

you could get a stealthbox

I went with the stealth box and put my amp where my spare is and hit all the wires. looks clean and sounds pretty good.

 

someone makes one that fills up the trunk but has a little slot to store the t-tops. I wanna say it was subthump.com . I'm pretty sure this will allow two 12's . But I just bought an MTX Thunderform box off ebay can't wait to make that monsoon sound like a real stereo!

 

I have the subthump box and the amp rack they sell. And the both work great!. I have two amps ( one dedicated to the fronts and rear and one dedciated to the amp) all mnounted onthe amp rack. The cost is alot better than anything else and the constructions great. www.subthump.com

 

do u have t tops?

 

Again there alot of good info in the FAQ

JL stealthbox, system sounds killer, still have the T-Top storage.

 

Subthump makes a T-top box that is awesome. I have it. Just go to subthump.com and check them out.

 

Why do you need a new trim piece when using the JL box???

 

the JL box isnt worth it. the subthump box is just as good and is much less expensive. they know their f-bodies. i have owned 2 stealthboxes and once i get new subs i'm gonna buy a t-top box. dont waste your money on a JL. get an image dynamics or elemental designs sub. 2 really good companies and are much better small box subs then the JL.

I have two eD 13Ov.2s in my t-top box and the bass output and clarity is incredible. I'd recommend that same setup to anyone.

 

I took a different approach. I bought JL Audio 6.5 subs (yes, subs) to go where the factory sail panel subs were. I'm also purchasing a front component set. I'm then going to run all 4 from a four channel amp with the JL's receiving only the low end. It should provide decent bass without taking up extra space.

 

what did you do about the rattles and the enclosure. i know its been done before but i dont think its the best way to go about it. 6.5" arent as efficient and dont hit as low. but to each his own right?

EDIT: do you have any pics of that install?

 

Subthump stealth box and amp rack.

I couldn't believe the output of that little 10.

Here are some pics:

You can rate it if you want.

 

Where can that jl audio box + sub be purchased at a reasonable price?

 

Only place you'll get a reasonable price is on ebay. I looked and authorized dealers were wanting way too much money for it. Get the subthump box, amprack, and pick out a nice sub, couple amps, and components. Just do some listening before picking out comps. I was really suprised at the difference in sound of the various components.

 

Sounds like im better off just getting the MTX thunderform box, and getting the JL sub seperately... What is this subthump box?

Is that the same box that fits in the cubby hole on the driver side?

 

The subthump box is better than the thunderform. Here is the sight.

I got the subthump box and amp rack. There is better small box subs than the JL's though. Depending on where you are buying I'd reccomend the Diamond Audio sub that I got.

 

So many ideas!!!!

Price wise, it seems to make sense to just do the front door speakers with some full range components.

Forget about sail panel speakers altogether, and just get a 10" sub for the rear cubby hole.

I got some 4" kappa's (42i or 4.2i) in the hatch area for fill.

The 10" sub + enclosure will probably run ~$200-300. Beat two birds with one stone with this one I think..
