subs in xjs

[Nomercy]

Here's some pics of my current set-up (although I have something devious up my sleeve )

ALPINE CDA-9855 Receiver/ KCA-420i - iPod Interface
ALPINE MRP-M350/ MRP-F240 V-Power Amps (Stealth Install)
Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 .. 6.5" components
Infinity Kappa 62.5i .. 6.5" rear-fill speakers
Infinity Kappa Perfect 10DVQ .. 10" subwoofer
50 sq. ft B-Quiet Ultimate Deadener/ XTC speaker baffles
10" Stealthbox® sub enclosure

looks real clean...want your seats too, ummmm leather...

the tweeter...how was the install done on them? any pics of the install

JL 12"
Alpine type S 6x9's
rockford 400 4 channel

nothin too much but in the cab of my comanche its plenty, just wish my sub could breathe a little more cause its kinda crammed back there behind my seat...

 

[mk153smaw]

Lots of room for amps under back seat. One Kenwood 320 4 channel and an Alpine V series for the sub.

Update: I tried for months to find a JL Stealthbox recommended by Urban Yan and had 2 deals fall through because they decided not to sell... So I planned to DIY something but ended up having something built for cheap instead. I don't have the patience required to fab something nice.

Now I think I'm finally done (although I may go with a new deck with HD radio or satellite). The whole setup is:
Cheap Sony Head Unit
4 Pioneer 2-way 6.5"s (yes, they fit in the rear also)
Phoenix Gold XS2300 (~300 watts)
Dayton Audio 10" Subwoofer

I already made another thread about the sub, so I won't go into the whole story here.

that enclosure is cool, shame its not a little more protected though, and its such a small volume. but gotta work with what ya can

 

[TwistedFocus]

It's a little better protected now. Still not completely covered, but I kind of like the open grilles like this.

That looks really nice.

 

[urban yan]

Nice install Twisted. I bought the same grille, but I never installed it. I didn't have it my heart to drill holes in the stealthbox.

Nomercy. the tweeter just hooks up to the crossover from my component set. There was room enough inside the doors to hide them. Component systems usually come with top mount and flush mount hardware for the tweeters.

i dont mean to brag or anything. but you need to clean up the sound its very rough and staticy not clean at all. i ahve a audiobahh 12 powerd by kicker amps and pioneer speakers allroundon kicker amp . and its louder and cleaner. try to dynomat and upgrade wiring

 

[FlexdXJ]

its rough and staticy because the mic on the camera can't pick up some of the frequencies. The dude is trying at least he has a decent setup and a 12 in audiobahn isn't gonna hit as hard as a CVX in a 4 cube box with a 1000.1 driving it.

so you cut the holes in the door panels? just want to make sure this isnt something that came from the factory with the infinity system

 

[kf_chris]

I bought some Infinity speakers for the fronts (thebest onesthat Best Buy has) and one of those Infinity Bass cube things. It's plenty good enough for a jeep.

 

[urban yan]

yup. We drilled holes for those tweeters.
The factory infinity tweeters were mounted in pods higher up... above the door panels... on the opposite side of the exterior mirrors. I tried to find a pic to explain things better, but I couldn't find one.

[kf_chris]

you could also probably mount those tweeters onthe little plastic cover that goes over the side mirrors. that was a location I thought of while considering seperates

 

[urban yan]

^ yeah that's where the factory tweeter pods were mounted... You see allot of guys top-mount their aftermarket tweeters in that area. You might be able to find a set of those factory pods on ebay; you could than use them to retro your aftermarket tweeters into.

 

[troy]

I have the infinity system. The factory tweeter pods are really small and would not accept any of the aftermarket tweeters I looked at.

I eneded up keeping the Inifinity tweeters and used different 6 1/2's

 

[seanyb505]

Im sure this has been discussed so excuse my ignorance. With the demand of Stealboxes to ratio of available stealboxes, why dont more people go with this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JEEP...80QQitemZ250298575580QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo ?

Im sure if you put some fabric over it it might look better.

I had this porblem after I tried installing the tweeters that came with my Infinity Reference series components so I just pried off the metal grill that comes on them and then they fit perfectly behind the factory Infinity pods.

I stand corrected. I honestly thought there was a chance to retrofit new tweeters into those pods.

Those XJ pods only hold an 8" sub. The stealthbox was made for 10" subs. It's a shame JL stopped making them.
