I was ICE shopping today and found a 12W6 for $310 new, from a merchant. I would need a custom box, and was wondering if any of you have installed any of the sub woofers listed in my topic. How was the fit, and how did it sound? I listen to a lot of Electronic music with 4-4 beats, so a sealed box would be my aim, methinks.
I was thinking about getting a Rockford Fosgate 5002 amp to power the sub(s). Please help me; I am by no means a knowledgeable icer.

Merci infiniment,

Virgil

JL audio actually makes a sub that is in a custom box for the mini cooper. http://www.jlaudio.com/stealthbox/minicooperD.html. All of the information is right there and has pictures. it is designed to take up minimal space.

Thank you for your reply.
Yeah, the stealth box fits a W3, not the W6 or 7. I really wish someone would be able truthfully to say otherwise, because that is a nice fit.
By the way, the subs that I would want are either the W6V2 or W7V2, not the version one.

Thanks again.

is the stealth box compatable with the stock head unit?

i did not see anything on that page that mentioned the actual audio hookups. only securing the stealthbox into the boot...

WIth anything that packs a bassline really LOL

Loui,

Is that in your car?!

Cause I didnt see it on Saturday

Laxpimp6903 · May 13th, 2005, 12:03 AM

yes the stealthbox is compatable with the stock HU there are just not sub pre amp outputs on the HU so a special plug is needed to split the pre amp outs that are in the back of the HU.

I see!

Do you still have that car, or you got rid of it?

Also where did you get that done, and how much it cost you, cause it looks sweet

Loui · May 13th, 2005, 07:45 PM

Yeah thats all now int he S. Max audio in cannock did, nut as cost, think they`ve stopped trading now, plus i had to rebuild half the box when i took it apart as they had bodged bits

It isnt that hard to build something like that

do you know where I can buy the JL audio stealth box? Preferably a website where I can order and have it delivered in the US? I've been trying to look but all I've found is the one in the UK. thanks.

snid · Jun 7th, 2005, 04:25 PM

I believe JL Audio doesn't allow online / catalog sales in the US. So, you're going to have to find a local authorized dealer to get a stealthbox.

buffy123 · Jun 8th, 2005, 03:02 PM

Thanks, i guess I'm just going to have to look around.

check out my install below...

had it done almost a month ago, joined a DB Drag after...my sub did 140db with a weak battery

my install:

one JL 13W7
JL XR653CSi 3-way components in the front
JL VR650CXi for rear fill
one JL 1000/1 slash series amp for the sub
one JL 300/2 slash series amp for the 3-ways
JL Audio wiring & fuses
Clarion DXZ946MP headunit

crystal clear yet...thumps like hell

i suggest you lose the backseats to make way for a properly spec-ed enclosure
