That's the plan, unfortunately I didn't document everything very well...

Where is the stealthbox?
Under the console?

Yes, it is under the console. I found a complete MTX Thunderform on ebay and sold the sub out of it. The Dayton sub is good for higher power (I'm pushing 500 watts to it). The stealthbox is pretty small and I was doubtful of how well the sub would perform, but it's exactly what I wanted. It's not going to win any competitions but added just enough bump, and the soundstage is awesome with it up front and combined with the Hybrid Audio components.




I will try to get some better pictures when I deaden the console.

And the amp rack is under the middle seat. I just cut a piece of plywood to fit the space and ran all of the wires to it. With the seat folded down it doesn't move. I wrapped it in carpet and installed threaded inserts.

The MTX Thunderform (Unloaded-no sub) is model CTYSD07FB10U.

Here's a used one on ebay:

Finally did some work and got those pictures of the sub, as promised...

Under the sub, before:


I noticed that the sub's surround was awfully close to the carpet/pad and there was evidence of rubbing on the surround, so I removed the pad and cut back the carpet a little on the driver's side and replaced the pad with two layers of second skin damplifier pro.

I also finally sound deadened the inside of the console to eliminate the vibrations a little more. I have to say this made a tremendous difference in the clarity of the sub as well as the overall loudness. I had my doubts...

Inside of the console shell, after:




Sound deadener used is Second Skin's Damplifier Pro. I am super impressed with this product and I am a new believer in sound deadening!

The sub is a Dayton Audio Reference ** 10" subwoofer from parts-express in an MTX Thunderform enclosure. I also added some Damplifier Pro to the inside of the box because it seemed a little thin to me (I'm used to huge MDF boxes for subs...

On another note I just bought an LTZ grill from Burbin here on the forum and should be getting that installed pretty soon!! I also bought a set of chrome door handles from him, but I'm on the fence about those and whether they will make it on...

I will say that I wanted the LTZ grille when I bought my suburban but I wanted lower monthly payments more, so I'm super pumped to have that coming!!
