Default How do you install the subthump passenger stealthbox?

I already have the subthump drivers stealthbox and amp rack, do I need to remove the spare tire jack in order for it to fit?

any thoughts guys?

Also, for you passenger stealthbox owners, how did you cut out the panel???

Your help is appreciated!!!

Carlos.

i would assume you would lose the spare for the box but dont quote me. to cut that thickness of plastic me personally i would use an air saw. powered off an air compressor and looks like a tiny jig saw. they work great. an air cut off wheel would work great also. or dremel.

there are several ways to cut the panel....jigsaw, box cutter, nibbler,etc. i wouldn't use a dremel tool, it would likely just melt the plastic and make it a mess.

and yes, the spare tire & jack will need to be removed to make room for the passenger-side enclosure.

You will have to remove the spare tire and jack. The plastic is easy to cut and I used a fine tooth hacksaw. I traced out a template with a sharpie and cut the panel.

The Dremel will melt the plastic but it melts it pretty clean. Not really a Dremel's forte but it works surprisingly well and after you pull the melted plastic excess off (pulls off clean) you actually get a pretty nice edge from it... I personally hate cutting panels but I'm not nuts about bass... I'm going to do the single 10" and be happy.

You have to remove the jack and cut the panel to fit the box. You might also need to remove some of the carpet to have it sit right.
