hey all -
here's the deal - I wanna put a system into my brand new (well, used 2002 explorer...just got it 3 weeks ago) Basically, I want to add a sub/subs, update the head unit (so my ipod can work w/ it), and then later on, replace the front speakers...the main problem is, however, that i own a Disc Jockey business and use my car when I have shows. This means that I lower the rear seats and pack the explorer with equipment (the car is packed completely). I went to a few places and found only two solutions:

1) Tweeter offers a JL audio "stealth" package, which basically puts 1 10in sub in the back on the driver's side panel where the net/cupholder is...the price for just the sub and the stealth installation is 560 and doesn't even include the amp.

2) I can just get 1/2 subs boxed and put them behind the rear seats...then, I am told, whenever I need to use teh car for DJing, I can just remove the subs and take them out...(the amp would sit in one of those storage compartments in the back). The price for the amp and subs would be under the price for just the stealth unit...

Can someone please help me and give me some advice. I plan to use the explorer for a lil off roading so I don't know how that will effect the box (i am told i could velcro it down but i don't knw whow that will hold) PLEASE HELP w/ suggestions!!!!

For your purposes the stealth box sounds ideal for you. Taking out a loaded enclosure day in and day out is a pain in the arse! Unless you crave massive bass that is the route I'd take.
 






I have the JL Audio Stealthbox in my exploder and it sounds amazing. I bought mine on Ebay for $200 with a new woofer included from a private seller.
 






let me know when you are done so i can see what you have done
 






you could do a false floor. raise the floor 4-5" and have it hollow. then you could mount the amps inside of there.
 






Here is a pic I have of a 02 Explorer.. You can use the floor underneath the back seats (unless you have a 3rd row).

You can probably get a single 10 in the front compartment (should be enough airspace). This of course the guy went above cause he wanted more subs..
