Stealthbox for 2013 Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

sure74 · 06-12-2012, 06:53 PM

Hey guys,

I have been in contact with JL Audio and they are now interested in getting one of our cars in to do some test fitting.

If anyone in the Miramar, FL area is interested please contact Jose B Rodriguez by email: technical@jlaudio.com

You can mention Ron from ft86club.com as a reference.

Thanks!

If you go through with it, push for an 8" enclosure!

I run an 8" in my Integra also, it would be my preference.

The thing is the sub is somewhat pointless in this car since you could just run good 8" subs in the doors.. but my preference would be 6.5-7" mid bass drivers in the door, 4"/1" in the dash and one 8" long excursion or 10" sub in the trunk..

That was my original plan with the doors. Do they seem sturdy enough to handle the bass? I was thinking something like this would be more than sufficient: http://www.jlaudio.com/car-audio-evo...id-bass-driver

Depends on how much bass and how you prep the door. CLD tiles, CCF/MLV setup should help out with bass response a lot in the doors. But still I wouldn't want anything too low in the doors if I went with a more SQ setup.

I'd probably run a Morel or HAT front stage but I really don't want to dump the money into this car's audio like I have in other cars.

Definitely Morel. I really like the idea of running 8s or 10s in the trunk and 6.5/3.5/1s up front.

The doors don't feel too sturdy (stock). I'd honestly worry about bass response and losing mid fill up front... especially with how horrible the rear speakers are.

I love Morels.. but the HATs for the money are hard to beat IMO.. that's why I'm currently running them instead of Morel.

I'd love to do it, if it wasn't 10 hours away

I got an amazing deal (almost 50% off retail) on my set, which is why i went with the Morels, but yeah, I agree.

Keep us posted! Push for the 8" if they ask, the 10" looks ridiculous shoved in the trunk and just isn't necessary.

I will be at JL this afternoon test fitting my car for the Stealthbox.

Push for the 8"!!
