Default Sub Box

I was just wondering where all of you buy your sub boxes? I am looking to put one in the back left hole/compartment thing in the hatch of the car. Also while your here any ideas on what type of sub and amp you guys recommend would be nice. I'm looking for a 10"

Thanks

Subthump and keeaudio both sell the stealth boxes for the cubby hole. If your up for a do it yourself project just a few posts down is a walkthrough on how to make your own out of fiberglass.

IDMax, Resonant Engineering, FI Audio, Elemental Designs, TC Sounds all make good 10's with different levels of performance for the price.

Watts of power per dollar it is hard to beat Hifonics and Kicker.

I think its pressure fit. The one that I made was pressure fit and it kinda gets sucked in as i push it. I wouldnt expect the same kinda fitment from the premade ones, but the same idea.

I have a stealth box from Subthump and mines not a pressure fit. Don't get me wrong it fits very well and it's kinda tight, but it's not "stuck" in there on it's own. My stealth box has 2 little dimples on the bottom where some 'L' brackets can go and I just pre-drilled some holes in the chassis and drove some self tapping screws in. Holds like a charm!

I lined that area with dynomat and the bitch fits extremely snug in there! My subthump box actually takes some effort to take it out

thecobrahunter- Did you have to cut or fabricate the plastic on the passenger side to get that box to fit?
