I feel like the price is pretty decent considering that Crutchfield wants $650 for just the sub (yeah I know you could find it for cheaper) you are paying $250 for a custom-fit box which is a nice option.

This is just my opinion guys but if you look at the options available from a place commonly known as sub of thump, they have enclosures (for 2 10's or 2 12's) for gen 6 camaro's that are designed to fit snug up against the back of the passenger seat and take up little enough space that you can still get to the spare tire area and your battery in the trunk and require no modification of the car directly. (although optionally you may want to fabricate some method of securing them)
These are sealed enclosures, and the way to "get it right" is pretty simple. 1) look at the cubic ft / sub rating for the enclosure, and find a sub you like with the manufacturer listed spec for optimum space in a sealed enclosure that matches that 2)find an amp that will power the subs 3) profit This does limit your choice in subs however if you want it to sound the best, so you can take the route im going and just get a shop to build you a custom box that occupies the same space and concept as the ones on sub of thump. Prices: Sub of thump - $280 for the nice rear firing box with vinyl stitched front Local Shop - $400-450 for custom fabricated rear firing box with vinyl stitched (or whatever fabric i want) front that is designed to perfectly match the subs I choose. When you look at the cost of the JL audio stealthbox. You are pretty much paying the same price that it would cost to custom fabricate the enclosure once you subtract the cost of the sub. I am not disagreeing that it is well built though and will sound great, I would just rather not cut out my trunk liner, and I would prefer 2 10's over 1 12. Edit : by passenger seat I mean rear seat lol Last edited by 7stringtheory; 02-13-2017 at 08:48 PM. |

Very good solution, that corner is the way to go. But come on, $765 for the 400W subwoofer and $900 for the 600W, is way overpriced!

Mindless bitching in 3...2...1...
900$ msrp for an unpowered enclosure & sub that can be done separately for 300$? No thanks. For that price point, it should include a 200x1 internal marine amp and a plug'n'play harness to the factory amp that is 18" away. Plus, is there a reason it couldn't be done on the passenger side? I don't want more weight on the driver side of the vehicle. |

This again, going back to what I already posted... makes the JL audio stealthbox basically the same price as having a local guy custom fabricate a nice enclosure designed specifically to form fit your car, with no modification of your trunk liner. If you do want to cut a hole in the inside of your trunk liner that can never go back to stock, and are happy with a single 12" (albeit great woofer if you get the 12w6v6) then this is a good option that I think is worth what you spend. |

I have to agree. I have run JL subs for many years. Great products. I have them in three vehicles now. The smaller stealthboxes are really good. The larger ones are too thinwalled though. I had to reinforce the one in my 370z.

JL had a ridiculous stealthbox for the 5th gen convertible. I am hoping for something equally ridiculous for the 6th.

It also helps if you use the correct model of sub you are searching for. The SB-GM-CAM6G/12TW3 uses a 12TW3 sub with a MSRP of $350 and not a 12W3V3. The SB-GM-CAM6G/12W6v3 uses a 12W6V3 sub with a MSRP of $650. I'm not sure where you found the price for a 12W6V6 as the 12W6V3 is the current model. Do you have a time machine?!? Quote:
