yes....JL Audio has been quite successful at this

 

http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/index.php?cPath=21 Good slim subs..A lot of Honda/subie guys use them for stealth installs

 

The stealth box setup that JL has for the 2002 and up box will that work for the R56? Does an amp come with or is that seperate? I use to be in the car stereo world but kinda rusty these days.

It may not fit exactly because the shape of the boot in that area has changed.

however, for about the same price you can have a custom false deck built that doesn't get rid of any storage space.

 

Is that the setup that Outmotoring did in his? If you look at the first page of this post. I assume in that mod I would need to remove the jack thus having the room to create the box?

 

yup! Like that or like this:



you do lose the toolbox though. It wasn't a big deal to me as I have an S and don't need the toolbox. I could see it being a problem if you don't have runflats and need to have the jack handy.

 

I'm gonna take my seats out today to see whats up. Wish me luck!

 

I thought about that, too. But, that felt/cardboard side panel seems like it would add its own, and probably nasty, harmonics to it?

 

You have my gratitude, support and best wishes for success!

 

 

Good luck, and here is a thread that helped me remove the rear seat backs.

 

Robin, NICE job wit hthe Dyno!!

Did you put a sub in the boot?

I wish somebody would snap some shots of the FRONT seats taken out!!

 

ooOOoo Nekkid MINI!

I don't think I took mine down that far. I do kinda wish I had dynamatted like you did though.

ps What is that pull ring on the passenger side for? The boot? How would you access it normally?

 

Yes, that is for opening the boot when power fails. Normally, it is under the rear seats. In the photo it is just moved out of the way.

 

ahh ok. I didn't remember seeing the pull ring up over there.

 

Good links, but thsoe are all for the R50/R53 models. They won't fit the R56.

Well, that flat box one MIGHT, I suppose...

Theres a new box coming for the R56... I'll have some spy pics soon

 

how soon!?

 

Final prototype coming today, might post some teaser pics

 

So tease us already! :-)

 

Holding breath waiting impatiently! I look forward to the pics....please!

 

Carpeting and testing it today... will talk to the buyer and see if they want it posted

 

Just post em, we won't tell!!

I NEED A BOX installed!! Still nobody put one under the passenger seat yet???

 

We got a little more than .8 cubic feet from the box we're still testing (sounds great so far). And you only lose your tools Or you can put them somewhere else. I'm gonna stop giving hints. Next I'll post pics I swear.

 

Well, I checked locally on the price of the JLAudio stealth and it goes for just under $600. I currently have 2 JLAudio 10W3v2's just sitting in my garage. I've studied the above pics and I don't see why I can't build a fiberglass enclosure for each side panel. It will take up a small portion of the trunk space however.

I'm thinking of angling it slightly toward the opposite side of the front of the vehicle. I also think I can squeeze out at least .75 cuft, maybe more. I'm then thinking of a false floor for the amps.

Can anyone tell me offhand about how much room is under the front passenger seat? I'm not totally familiar yet with this vehicle. Thanks!
