They were asking for $209, but the shop down the street had them for $179. So I asked them to price match and they did.
So $179. Kind of overboard for most applications, but I have a stereo in the works and just wanted to do it right once instead of buying just a replacement for cheaper and then buying one of these later on.

@DREWxB08
If you're asking about the stealth sub enclosure I think they are around $700 with a JL sub in there.

WAY to much for a box and a sub. I have mine sunk into the floor and getting ready to put something over top to still haul stuff in the trunk. Build you own and model it after that and you can save a ____ load of money

I was talking about the battery, but the system price seems around the normal price...

I'm running a JL Audio W7 in custom box, amps for subs and speakers, componets front and back. JL wireing , def need a battery to complete it.

lol yeah I know... I mentioned in the post talking about that jl solution that I was planning on building a fiberglass box. The Jl box is kind of what I'm shooting for.

I just like talking audio!
Can't say I've heard or run a Fi Q12, but I did a simple build in my friend's Corolla involving a SSD12 with Copper Coils. I'm told the SSD with Copper Coils can sound better than the Q. Its taking a SAZ-1000D like a champ, getting warm only on long full-tilt runs. I would say stay away from Kinetik (waaay overpriced for what it is). You can fit a Group 31 battery under the front passenger seat with absolutely no modification. As for my car, go check out my build log (or even my sig) if you're interested

Edit: The Group 31 DieHard Platinum Marine is only about $239, and the exact same battery as the very well-reviewed Odyssey PC2150 or Stinger 2150, just a different color case.

No such thing as overboard for electrical! Well I guess not everyone needs over 200lbs of battery in their xB.
