Will JL Stealthbox subwoofer fit?

[halpy28]

Looking to upgrade my 2022 2 door black diamond stereo system. Does anyone know if a JL Audio Stealthbox subwoofer will fit? As I don't think there is any room for a compact sub under the seats.

i dont believe JL's Stealth Box has been released for Bronco yet, however it is currently in R&D.

depending on how factory you are wanting to actually look. It seems many on the forums are using the Stinger Tailgate mounted sub, which is what i have as well. takes up very little space and gives very good performance.

One last question, is this just the enclosure, do I need to buy a sub as well?

Literally hundreds of posts on this topic. If you want clean and out of sight use the stock sub location. Do some quick searches and youll see many different options. Myself personally wouldnt buy the stinger setup. I had a custom box built just like that for a sub I already had. My guy builds boxes and sells them on ebay. Ill post a link at the bottom. A custom box and quality sub will get a much better sound. Im a bit of a stereo snob tho so I prefer higher end components. To each his own... Check this guys stuff. He can modify and change setups from what is posted. https://www.ebay.com/str/jeepboxguy...=3418065&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The stinger box comes with a sub but its a phoenix gold (cheap)

i did not, for my build i did the following upgrades:
Replaced Front 6.5" and 4" speakers with Focals.
Replaced Rear 4" speakers with the Mabett 6.5" Speaker Pod Upgrade with Kicker CS 6.5" Speakers.
Tailgate mounted Stinger Box.

I used the Kicker Key Amp 200.4 for the Mids and Highs with PlugnPlay Kit 12-1. This kit provides an RCA preout for the sub amp which i used the Kicker 400.1 to power the sub.

I also purchased the Mountains2Metal Key amp mounting plate to mount the amp under the dash. Hope this helps some!

My plan is to run this sub until it dies and then replace it with a JL Shallow Mount Sub. However i know of three local broncos using the Stinger Box and they beat the crap out of the Phoenix Gold and it keeps taking it like a champ!

Im a huge JL fan. I had a stealthbox in my jeep that I kept. Had my box built for the sub, 13tw5 shallow mount 13.5". Been running it on a jl xd600/1 for the last few years and its a beast. Im changing my amp up for this install tho and using a 5ch hd900/5 to save space.​

ive never owned anything JL that wasnt quality, i absolutely agree. Ive been an audiophile since my first car some 30 years ago... and have never not had something installed in my vehicle, and JL has by far been the most reliable of all majors brands. I was always the test dummy to a local Stereo Shop on all kinds of different manufacturers, and my top picks for Mids/Highs have always been focal, Subs and Amps always JL.
