Anyone interested in Group Buy for Spare Tire Sub-Box?

Really curious as to why this is taking so long and there is such secrecy as to what the final price range is going to be. To be fair patience

And finaly done, We set up the Donor car with JL AUDIO XD600/1 Amplifier. This amplifier is smaller then the HD sries amps, We were comfortably able to install it under the pass seat. We also wanted to try out the 13tw5 Slim sub, Biy are we glad we did..... AMAZING BASS responce, even though we only added the sub and amo to the factory stereo we were pretty amazed with the amount of bass and how low this sub was able to play, yet it was very fast and hard hitting...

Here is spme pictures, we chose to show the subwoofer, and will be sending out a carpet sample to get peferated and have it be available for those looking to finish the trunk with a detailed and finished look.

For those who want to conseal the whiole sub you can by using the black styrofoam piece that comes in the trunk and lay on top of the box and lay your carpet over it. I personaly like seeing the sub, but you certainly can cover it.

One other option is to place the carpet on top of the e\mpty enclosure, Mark the whole, cut center and screw the sub in with the carpet in between the suband box, which will give it a nice finished look as well. if you were to take the box out carpet will be attached top the box and sub.

We carpeted the bottom of the enclosure for a snug fit in to the spare. What you will need to do is unblot the spare tire nut, Position the magic box in place, carefully lift the sub box back out and tighten up the nut without moving the spare. Then simply just drop the box back in.

Pictures shown with a 13tw5, we still have the 10" slim sub option available...

Review for everyone. I love it. Finally got some real bass in the car. I am one of these bassheads which is why I chose the 13". Due to money situations I was unable to get the Kenwood headunit that I want at the moment which is why its hooked up to my stock unit. Still sounds amazing so its kinda crazy to think that its only gonna sound better than this. Of course i wanna get all my interior speakers done as well but in due time haha.

Just waiting on my perforated carpet and once I get the the money the Z will be back at Wicked C.A.S to get the headunit put in.

Thanx again Nazar and your team for doing a great job.

Anyway you can install the sub and have it sit flush so you can cover it with the mats?

This was my original plan for my trunk just so it was totally stealth but after some talk wit Wicked C.A.S I opted to show off the sub. I figured i do have a 13" in my trunk why not show it off haha. Trunk is still useable and of course the sub has a grill incase of anything. Plus with the perforated carpet it will sit more flush as oppose to how it looks with the grill sticking up...

The sub box is great quality but it really should be flush imo.

Of course anyone can get that flush look but there would have to be no grill on the sub. Not really wise in my opinion because of the position of the sub but people can do wat they want. Even with the grill my sub will sit more flush once i get the carpet put in. U guys will see more pics once that gets put in...

i wish there was a hard cover or something up top wout the grill to make it sit flush. The whole point of this box was for it to be completely stealth.

Sub is pretty much flush, only reason it sticks out is beacase of the grille.

If it was ordered with a 10" sub (depending on the sub) and no grill you could lay your carpet right over the sub. Again no grille. I have seen other members build the box and lay the carpet right over the woofer.

#2 option is to have the styrofoam black piece over the box and lay the carpet over it as well. this will raise the floor about 3/4" or so.

All this without spending an extra dime.

If you were to lay them on the ground this is how it would look upside down.

+1 Stealth is/was the reason I was following this thread.

As designed-as-of-today, and as others previously asked, what is the tentative pricing with/without the sub?

Thanks.
