Default sub box

i'm looking for one of those mtx sub boxes that goes in the left rear panel, where a factory cd changer would go.

You have several options.
MTX is not the only brand that makes stealth boxes. JL Audio makes a great sounding and looking box for the side.
They make t-top boxes that also hold the t-tops for you.

JL does makea killer setup for the f-bodies. i looked into it but i figured hey back seats afre too small for ne one to sit in so ill just stick the t tops back there lol. also im a huge alpine fan. by far alpine and JL audio have the clearest quality speakers on th e market. any alpine speakes you purchase will sound great. 60 bucks for those type s sounds like a killer deal. just remember ur gonna pay for quality and the expensive *** name lol. when i get the car back ill post some pics of my setup just for an idea.

go to google and do a search for stealth boxes for your car, they come with a 10 inch jl W3, all you would need then is a small amp to run it. They sound pretty good, but not overwhelming. if you want a box that will hold 2 12's look under ws6store.com.

I had a MTX Stealthbox and it was not bad at all. I have since replaced it with a Subthump Stealthbox with a Alpine Type S Sub. With that paired up with the passenger side steathbox, I can rattle your fillings out with my Disturbed CD.
