Is there a place where I can get the dimentions of a stealth box?
Or something like it? Is there a "how to make a stealthbox" DIY? I have a friend that thinks he can make one for me.

http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...installed.html This is the closest in dimensions and airspace to the stealth enclosure, but it definately requires a lot of cuts. I'm going to do something similar to this box, w/ a slight addition in airspace if you follow the Sounds Illusions forum link in the past above.

I just ordered my Kicker L5 8" after much debate and thought about what would work better than using the Pioneer shallow that most others have used. I chose the L5 8" due to the general belief that the square sub gives as much cone surface as a 10" round sub, and w/ it being dual voice coil, it'll run my monoblock amp at 2ohms, so I'll definately be getting the most power from it.

Does anybody here know of a creative place to mount some bass in a place OTHER than where the stealth box would reside? I want to put some bass in my X but not willing to sacrifice the space. I keep some things in there and that way my trunk stays empty and clean.

If you don't have rear air suspension and don't care about the spare tire you could make a custom enclosure down in the hole. (seen it done aon a few X5s that come through the shop)

Someone here planned to mount a couple of subs' up in the concave section in the headliner above the backseat. Daunting for those in the backseat, but out of the way!

that was me until i realized that the concave section wasnt so much over the cargo area and really WAS moreso over the rear passenger's heads. There's no space underneath any of the seats either
