Dib's Stealth Box designs
I have been searching for a while now, but couldn't really find anything in terms of a design and dims for a stealthbox, so I decided to create one. This site has helped me tons over the past couple of months, so here is my contribution...  I had a bit of time on my hands yesterday, so I measured the rear compartment and came up with these 2 designs. Both designs were made with the average guy (or gal - yes, i just used hick jargon - i grew up in calgary...) like me in mind. They should both be fairly simple to build and there are no fancy cuts involved. The first is a box that has a deep base at the bottom to fill that cave inside the compartment. It also adds about .03 cu.ft internally for more air - I would suggest this if you are using a 10" shallow mount sub. The second one is a simple little box that would need a little more securing (brackets, etc). It is quite small and I would only suggest an 8" - I have heard the infinity 8"reference sub in a box this size and it pounded well... btw - the angled piece at the back shows 11" - this is approximate - it will probably be slightly smaller... These designs are for reference only - adapt them however you want - there is still plenty of room left in that compartment - again, I designed these with the simplest contruction in mind. And remember - always double check the measurements!! Measure twice before cutting and all the best to those who want to try these out...  Ok - I don't have the tools to do these myself right now, so I'm hoping some of you will be willing to try these out and let me know. I plan to try and sort out making my own soon enough and I will post pics and results... Last edited by dib; 09-24-2008 at 01:41 AM. Reason: adding jpg

Thank you
DIB,
Thank you. I also plan on making a stealthbox and really appreciate the dimensions you provided. When finished, mine will be slightly different and protruding into the trunk space a bit becuase I plan on putting a JL 10w6 in it. This gives me a place to start. -TC

dib, thanks for this contribution. Lots of folks have asked for dimensions for making a sub box for the X5 and this should get them going in the right direction.
TC - Welcome to the forums.

nice - i just checked in and realised there was some feedback. TC I'm glad this has helped you - make sure you post some pics and feedback when you're done!
please feel free to pm me with any questions - I'm just in the process of having the 'with base' version made for mine - i'll post pics and some follow ups soon enough... btw - i'm adding a detailed drawing of my final box with cutout dims for the 8" sub (the hole at the top is for a 2" speaker wire terminal)...
