Has anyone put a JL 10" W6 in a driver's side stealth box for a Camaro/Firebird?
I am sure it would fit I added a 3/4" mdf plate to my box and put in an 8" W7.
I thought about a W7 but it requires at least 1.25 cubes of space, I was referring to the W6 in a stealth box sound wise.Quote:

I have a 1,200 watt 10" Orion DVC sub in a MTX stealth box and it holds up just fine. I didn't think it would tollerate a sub with a 4 inch excursion but it doesn't even faze it!
how do you know how much airspace the sub needs? i'm looking at the Alpine Type X, but I don't know if it will work in the stealth enclosure or if the lack of airspace would blow it.
The sub will have a recemended airspace. Where ever you are buying it from, they should be able to tell you that.Quote:

The sub hits really hard! Its a 1,200 watt 10" DVC Orion sub powered by an Orion Beast, true 1,000 watt amp! Suprisingly, the MTX box is holding up very well considering that the meterial is very thin. I do not seeing it being an issue holding up in the long run for years to come.Quote:

Have you test fitted the type x? Just because the mounting depth of the type x is 8 5/8" and the stealth box is 9" deep doesn't mean it will fit. The magnet may be too big to be fully seated in the box, just let me know if you have test fitted the type x in a driver's side stealth box. I have 2 type r's in my other Firebird and I wanted to get a type x for my ws6 but didn't think it would fit.Quote:

I'll probably be buying a 10" this week and if it doesn't fit, I'll sell it and find something else. But I will let you know hopefully by next Monday.
Yeah, please keep me posted. I will either get a JL W6 or an Alpine Type X to put in a driver's side stealh box. Let me know how it sounds as well. I am wanting an SQL setup in my WS6, I already have an SPL setup in my other Firebird with two 12" Alpine Type R's.Quote:

I've ordered the Type X, but the guy won't ship until Thursday. I should have it hopefully Monday, and I will let everyone know how it goes.
That's cool, I was just thinking you might have forgotten to follow up or something like that.
No, it seems like nobody wants me to have this sub lol....i was shipped the wrong one before and now this guy hasn't shipped out yet; I've just had a string of bad luck with this thing lol
Any word on the type X???
it's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I'll let you know then.
Thanks, I really appreciate your help. I'm just making sure, your going to put a 10" Alpine Type X in a driver's side "Subthump" stealth box, right?Quote:

the Type X does work in the drivers side subthump stealth box. Here's a picture of mine in there and mounted. the only problem I see is that when you store your t-tops, the rubber part of the outer edge of the sub will hit against the passenger top. I don't think it will cause damage to either the sub or the top unless you have the sub cranked up. Just what I think, but I don't care to test my hypothesis lol
