. JL Audio is a great company regardless of their employees' political stands. we should be glad that a reputable company such as JL Audio has developed a product specifically for the tC. Not many companies have. i probably hate bush as much as you, probably even more, but you shouldn't compare it to a product you haven't seen or used before.

I have to agree...JL audio is a great company. JLTD is looking to take our input and relay that to the company to improve upon a product based on what WE, the consumer, want to see. Faulting a company because JLTD put a picture of our (albeit mentally challenged) president in his avatar is no reason to get your panties in a bunch. Maybe he put it there as a joke? Maybe it has text that you can't read that's utterly hilarious...or maybe he actually thinks that the guy is a decent president. While I'd personally disagree with that last statement, I'm not about to boycott a company that makes a great product and values the input of their consumers in it's development just because of a stupid avatar on a website.
If politics are such a big deal to you, go on a political forum and ____ and moan about our idiot president there. In the long run, it isn't going to matter anyway as all we can really do is wait 'til the ba$tard becomes a lame duck anyway.

If you wanted the performance of Bazooka at the price point of Bazzoka and don't mind the look or the trunk sacrifice of the Bazooka, then you're a Bazooka customer. And that's OK.

Obviously I don't want the performance of Bazooka cause it blowed. Hence why I have 3 JL w6v2s fiberglassed in my trunk.
I was just sayin that they r the only stealthly placed box offered for the tC on a national scale.
When is this expected to go into production and what are the questions you are asking for input on?

I'm watching- I'm been looking for a stealth box fora 10w6 forever. So far Harmonic is the only one offering anything but I'm not sure his customer fiberglass boxes could hold the larger JL subs....

As I posted earlier,. the Stealthbox is projected to ship on 10/31. My car went for photography a few weeks ago and the inrstructions still need to be made.
I have not posted anything because there are no new updates.
R2D2 simply because you used R2D2 as a name offends me because everyone knows that C3PO ownz.
PS the small text is actually the Preamble to the Constitution.

Only one more day to go; I'm keeping my eyes on this. I certainly have the headunit to go this way, and having an out-of-the-way sub box would be excellent. I'm personally not looking for something ultra-powerful, but something that would handle the 30 Hz to 50 Hz range with power to spare would be nice.

The enclosure is done and ready to go. The Stealthbox cannot ship until the installation instructions are done. My car is scheduled to go to R&D on 11/2 for photography of the installation process. I am fairly certain that the Stealthbox will be ship-able by week's end.
I have no pics to share at this time because I don't have one installed in my car.

I got the same info from Manville Smith, the VP of marketing at JL. He said they had a few issues that they were working on and that they had to write up the install instructions and he was hopeful it would be ready within 1-2 weeks of the original proposed ship date.
