this cargo cover (the one bought from the dealer has these brackets to hold it).

my sub box is 14.625" tall...does anyone know how high the actual cargo cover goes to, looks to be somewhere between 14-16" just by measuring but i have no way of knowing for sure. Anyone with a cargo cover in an XB2 can tell me? my 10w7 prowedge is gonna be packed in the right side (or left, granted whichever is a better fit) under the cargo cover if possible.

thanks for checking!

EDIT, found the answer by searching a bit deeper... 14" EFFF

Just build a new enclosure.

well thats just the thing, i found a 10w7 in a prowedge (which is 14.625" tall..) guess i miss out on that deal =_= lol

Don't give up so quick. I just measured mine. It is indeed 14" - with the hatch raised and the little cords raising the cargo cover at about a 45 degree angle.

However, if you release the little cords and just let the cargo cover rest flat, the clearance is 15".

So, you basically gain another inch if you don't allow the cargo cover to pivot upward when opening the hatch.

lol ive decided...i found a new 10W7 for 350 shipped with no tax. gonna get a custom box made for the XB kinda like the stealthbox.... more spensive but i want the cargo cover to pivot.

Why do you want to go with the 10W7 so bad? $350 isn't bad for that driver, but there's better out there for cheaper.
Plus, I don't think that the 10W7 would sound optimal in a 'Stealthbox' style of enclosure.
You could look into Fi Car Audio. They're a great company and you could go with a subwoofer suited to your needs.
If you're not all that audio savvy, feel free to PM me.

lol im like... changing all my ____ around now. srsly this problem is racking my brain! i was actually just gonna put a cube or something in the back, not quite a fiberglass mold like the stealthbox.

rakisto

ok screw it. i have the money for the stealthbox... i like my cargo space and spare tire accessability, GUESS IM GONNA GIVE UP THE CARGO COVER lol.

xseveredveganx

Pffft. Who needs cargo space or a spare when you have ba ba ba ba baaaaaaaaass!!!

randomsuper

that surround is serious business.

rakisto

ahahhaha too overkill for me

need the cargo space for my longboards and snowboards :D haha

Yezzir!!! Too bad it's full of fail. 3 recones within a year, one of which was my fault though... Time for a custom route.
I still owe you pics... It's so d*mned cold outside. I hate going out there. You'll get some craptastic T-Mobile G1 pics.
Roof rack, FTW!!!

But I know what you mean. I have an enclosure build coming up for my buddy. Getting rid of the spare and building a full false floor. Housing a couple Diamond Audio D3 8's. Should sound alright.

rakisto

sounds legit roof rack sounds nice but with the money i have now, not quite an option for a poor college kid like myself. working at best buy can only get me so far for now hahah...

N> new job

rakisto

btw how much does the roof rack run... cuz my surfboard gets awefully lonely at home during the summer lol

xseveredveganx

It depends, really. I have a buddy that scooped up an entire rack and a gaggle of accessories via a craigslist-like local website.

If you're smart about it and find used stuff, you can get a whole rack for around $100-$150. The accessories are where they get you. I'm looking into a rack. Kinda depends. The new bike I want is around $500 24" BMX/Cruiser bike. I'm over 6 feet tall and my 20" bike just doesn't cut it. I look like a bear on a minibike.

rakisto

hahah ic ic. ill check around soon. for now AUDIO IS IMPORTANTE. i got these BNIB type-R components i wanna get rid of still before i can afford anything else
