The Jeep was totally gone thru, 124k original miles on body,
New Crate engine and Trans, Weber Carb, Interior replaced back to stock, Dana 44 Rear, Dana 35 Front, 2.5 " Suspension Lift 1" body 33-12.50 Tires on Mickey Thompson Wheels, New Dupont Paint
does anyone have these,
they are not cheap, I have heard wonderful things from like the MTX thunder forms which is basically the same thing but MTX's version,
I had planned on buying the intrapod which is the console, with an 8in sub and a place for an amp, and the quad pods, it holds a 6.5 and an 8in sub ea,
Personally I am buying them as enclosures and running JL audio in mine, im not knocking anyone who bought them with speakers and amps,
I got a cousin with a JL audio shop so I can get them for the price of basically wal mart speakers,
When i bought the jeep its got the 6x9's on the roll bar at the floorboard near the back seat, I havent decided what I am going to do yet,
More than likely Ill have 4 normal speakers hooked to my radio to begin with till i get it all planned out, things hidden or put as safely as possible.
But 2 questions,
1- what size speaker is in the dash?
2- has anyone had any experience with the plastic boxes, do you like wood better?
Ive noticed lots of people have been using fairly thick plywood as opposed to particle board and then putting herculiner on it or one of its competitors,
I kinda liked the plastic boxes cause they are out of the way and, if I wanted I could easily move the quadpod if i needed room and another thing the most people ever that I would take on a trip currently is my girl and myself so I would just pop the rear seat out,
but im more worried about sound quality and the places selling the poly form boxes as well as the wooden boxes are both going to say theirs is the best,
Looking for opinions,
One thing thats got me leaning toward the plastic is almost 90 some odd percent of the stealth boxes from any company are molded plastic
