I'm looking for a box and sub to fit in the 'normal' space where people put them..
I want to be able to still put things on top of the sub, since we have barley any space at all...I'm willing to buy a used box and sub, or just the box. I only want 1, 10" and have it ready to have my shop install it. Please PM me for any used equip or reply to this post for recommendations.

Thanks jc

The JL Audio Stealthbox is the standard answer but $$. I've got the same 10W3v3 woofer in the uber-cheap E-bay box (two thumbs up from me) and the JL grill (sold separately) does allow me gently load stuff over it but not really as sturdy as some custom protective rails I've seen.

 

Yeah, that's WAY too expensive...I'm looking for a $200/$250 deal.....I don't need a sub that requires an amp...My head unit should run it fine....I just need about 2-3 times the bass I have now from my door speakers...Your weren't kidding about the price...Hopefully there is a another alternative.

Thanks for the info.

 

you will not be able to run a sub off your deck without a amp. and dont try it cause it will sound horrible. since you dont wanna spend alot, i would suggest looking into craigslist

 

haha a sub that doesn't require an amp lol how is a 18rms average deck gonna supply a couple of hundred watts to an sub..
I see a new thread coming soon.. "My deck fried for some reason I need a new one"

Dude i suggest u get a differ audio shop if they told u this...

 

18WRMS isn't even the true story. Most HUs on the market could barely touch 18W when playing music. 5WRMS to a sub. That MIGHT be enough to warm the voice coil a bit... and by a bit, I mean 1-2 degrees...

 

I was ignorant and after talking to a bunch of people...
I got one of the S2000 boxes from Ebay, a Clarion amp 300 watts RMS, and a 10" Infinity Reference sub....Hopefully that will give me a decent boom..

Thanks for the advice...I'm sure my shop would have laughed if I tried to not install an amp for my sub.

Quick questions:
1) Where do I get a grill for the sub so I can put a bag on top of it
(washing supplies)?
2) Where do you put the the jack and lug wrench and how do you lock them down so they don't rattle.

Thanks!

 

You don't have to worry about the jack and lug wrench if, like me, your amp rack takes up the space where that spare tire was...

 

yep, i have the amp there too. AAA card completes the conversion.

 

Hmmm, I have Progessive road assistance so I could go that route too, but I'd feel weird not having a spare tire and jack....Not sure where 'they' are going to install my amp....It's a Clarion and not too big...Maybe underneath one of the seats. Not sure where else it could go.
