Underdash sub box

If you like JL subs, they do make a shallow sub as well.

JL thin sub is too expensive, Pioneer thin sub would be great for this application. The CDT sounds very good, but could be a little better. I'm either lacking power or air space, just shy of the requirement.

I'm hoping the JL stealth box will come out soon.

Ok I ordered the dash box today and the fosgate sub P2 and taking the cover off to gain space. I will see how this turns out and will post. My buddy has his own box he built but has a JL speaker. We see what sounds best and put this thread to some completeness. Total cost for sub and speaker set.. (184) I was really trying to stay below 200 and meet the needs of the box with space being priority.

Fill it with some polyester fillings, will trick the sub to see a bigger box.

JL now makes a Stealthbox, but it sells for $175 more than the box and JL 8 3w3 from 4smart.com. The guy you talk with at 4smart seems an obvious salesman, but also seems to know what he's talking about. I have had Crutchfield tell me the same about the "filler" making the box "effectively bigger".

Are we worrying too much?

BTW - whose sub enclosure box is it that you are talking about? The only 2 I ever hear about here are smartmadness and 4smart.

Just FYI - there's also a sub box from scp-parts.com. Good supplier (and supporting vendor).

Are all these boxes (except for the JL fiberglass one) basically the same? They all look identical. The prices are about the same, is there a quality of construction/materials difference?

we can supply one that installs in the passenger footwell.
see this earlier post 85 watt subwoofer available for 450 and 451
quite powerful and surprisingly popular ( considering the price) in Germany

I've got the 8" underdash sub from 4smartcar.com and it sounds FANTASTIC. Can't see a bit more space in the sub box would make any appreciable difference. This sub kicks is it is.
