My Stealth Subwoofer Box-Work In Progress

[JCStevens85]

Still working on this, but here is what is done so far:

^JL Audio 13TW5 Shallow mount 13.5" Subwoofer

^Designed to fit snuggly in the space left after the removal of the 3rd row seating.

More to come...

Now all that's left is wiring up the vehicle, throwin' the new box in, and waiting for the mat to arrive to cover it up

I LOVE JL's!!! A friend had a 2nd gen with a custom box, 2 13.5" W7's, 2 Rockford Fosgate 1000W amps and HOLY LOUDNESS!!!

Great job on the fab work! Looking forward to updates.

Great work. Great design, Its so nice to not have to lose any space, yet still have a nice stereo system. Also after you hide it under a mat, no need to worry about thieves.

Thanks! I love these types of projects, I am hopefully going to get it all wired up tonight. I will definitely get some updated photos once its installed.

Its in and its hooked up. sounding pretty good, but I am going to port it... the bass is too tight for my liking. Then I wait for the cargo mat to cover up all my hard work! haha, sad...

I Feel the same way when i build a setup , i love building enclosures and doing custom stuff , makes you feel good to say , yeah i built that !

So after a bit more modifying, my system is sounding great. At first I didnt think that sealing the top chamber with the Plexiglas would alter how the speaker sounded too terribly much... I couldnt been more wrong, it pretty much sounded terrible. I took the glass off and did a little sound testing, and the system bumped HARD... so after a little research a I decided to port the top chamber; I cut out two slots which you will see below, put it all back together and it sounds great. I am finally happy with it and very glad I do not have to redesign the whole setup. I still have to do a little bit more work with the storage space in the back end, but other than that I am dialed in!

All put together with custom fit Loydd cargo mat.

Thanks! Plus, still can utilize all that cargo space, which is a big deal for an outside salesman such as myself

NICE looking work! I'm jealous of people with wordworking skills....My grandpa was really into woodworking (not sub boxes, but same idea lol).

Awesome finished product

I'm going to guess you sell Bosch tools

Hahah, you are very observant! Bosch, Channellock and a few others. A pretty sweet bonus when it comes to projects like this!

From the looks of it, it seems that you had the third row seats option. How hard was it to take them out?

Removing the third row is simple. Where the jack is, there are some bolts and if you take the seat bottom off(two white clips and the bottom front, push the right to the right and left to the left) and after you pull it off, you'll see the other bolts. I know this isn't very detailed, but that's pretty much how you do it.
