It is a snug fit. I didn't bolt it down and with all the mods I have it stays put.

I think they only make 10" stealth boxes and I had to ream mine out a bit to fit a mtx sub.

I have built 2 for 12" subs but most of mine are 10" enclosures. The thing you have to consider is does the sub in question operate in about .6-.7ft^3 of airspace volume.
They are an extremely tight fit (at least mine are and so are most of the others) so they do not move around under normal to moderate driving conditions. If you go road racing or something I'd consider a small L-bracket just to make sure it doesn't move.

How much would a box with one 12 cost to fit in that small compartment ?

It's the same price ($109.00 + shipping) for a 12" sub or a 10" sub...since I just cut the hole larger to accommodate the larger sub. As stated before though please make sure your subwoofer operates within that airspace volume. I also prefer to know what the subwoofer model is so I know the proper cutout diameter for your application. Not all subs have the same cutout diameter.

If you put one on each side they will cancel each other out is what i was told.

I have a pass side box for a ten if anyone wants it
They would have to have the exact same box displacement and run the exact same sub and run them both on one channel. If the 2 boxes are different sizes then they will make different noises and can't cancel each other out...

actually, they wont cancel each other out, even if they are the same size. they are far enough apart to allow the sound to reverberate out.

heres mine, it wont move, i made it so big that it contours to everything behind the panel. mine is a 12" BTW.

I made one out of 3/4" MDF for a Kicker CVX 12 and it worked great. I did go the extra mile with all kinds of crazy angles to get the most airspace possible. I'm sure it would have been better yet if I'd used fiberglass.

Now I'm running a fiberglass stealthbox with a single 8W7 and I love it.

its all good, you followed a logical idea.

actually, let me rephrase what i said before, if you really wanted to, you might be able to make them cancel, by wiring the subs out of phase, but then youd have to measure the wavelengths (at a certain frequency that you want to cancel) and then space the subs half of that distance apart.

basically, you wouldnt be able to do it by accident.

Haha you'd have to be very lucky... or unlucky...?
