3rd Gen Stealthbox want to be (in progress)

[SH0ck-D]

So I finally decided that.... I couldn't afford the stealthbox, so i decided to put about 25 dollars and a couple of hours in my attempt to mimic the stealthbox.

I plan to put an inifinity Perfect 10 DVC in it.

its really snug around the wheel well... it took me about 2 hours to get it right.
I plan to put the rhid dimension into the box with a 7inch MDF around it. The sub requires a mounting depth of 6.5 inches.

hopefully ill finish this before the end of the week, when I find the time between finals.

what do you guys think so far.

How did you profile the wheel well to get such a nice fit? Trial and error with cardboard or something?

So far so good. I am going to have a heck of a time with my 05. I have the third row seats and I need to fit in two amps and a 10. I am going to try to remove the panels from both sides and create my own replacements with MDF, Fiberglass, and Vinyl. I'm still doing all of my research and will start the project at the end of May. The goal is to build everything in so I can retain the option to use the third row still if I need to and not lose any of my cargo room. I'll be posting more once I actually start, but until then I look forward to seeing yours done so I can get more ideas.

I have my replacement deck, Ipod adapter, and Vizualogic headrest monitors on the way and hope to get those installed by the end of the month.

Don't forget to plan a method of securing the box to the truck. The box will be heavy, and you don't want it moving around, and least of all, go flying through the cabin in an accident. You may want to consider making the bottom piece a liitle longer to pick up the bolt from the cargo tie down on the truck (it looks like yours has these). And also extend the side piece to pick up an existing hole where the panel connects to the truck where you can run a bolt if possible. This could be the biggest challenge.
Also, like the previous post mentioned, make sure you have planned of a good place for the amp. A good stealth sub like yours deserves a good setup for the amp too.
