Default The finished Scion xA stealth spare tire subwoofer

Some pictures of my stealth SQ10 enclosure in an '06 Scion xA. I need to clean the sawdust on the sub, but I'm pretty happy with it. Steel mesh grill from Parts Express allows me throw crap in the back when I need to. The install allows me to keep the spare intact in the stock location.

The eDesigns xA 'Devo Hat' enclosure (I think I'm the only person that bought one, LOL).



My rear hatch floor with enclosure attached, not carpeted.

I hear ya'

I had a 12" Image Dynamics ID12v.3D4 in a 1.3ft^3 box for a long time. Got tired of having to disconnect it and lug it into the house when I need to put stuff in the back.

The SQ10 definitely doesn't compare to the ID, but functionally it's perfect for my needs.

AND, I can still throw the ID in the back when I'm craving those lower octaves.

Thanks

I actually think I'm going to start another rear hatch enclosure and go for a 12" stealth install from scratch using my Image Dynamics ID12v.3D4 sub.

While the SQ10 install looks good, the odd shape has forced me to move my amps from the hatch area to under the seats. The problem there is heat vents that feed out directly under the seat, and it is also a pain to adjust amp settings.

Not sure if I'm going to try and make a sealed 12" stealth enclosure, or just go free air/infinite baffle.

I'll post more when I get the project started.
