I want to add a sub to my system and the stealthbox I bought doesn't fit (my fault for not checking) where can I stick a sub that will not take ANY cargo space? I pack my cargo area FULL Every weekend (DJ) Don't want to spend a TON on a custom build.

thanks!

Crutchfield.com might have some different style boxes and locations specific to your vehicle.

That's where the MTX goes; fits a 10" sub there . I have one in my 02 Denali with a JL and it sounds awesome. They make them for the 04-up also. You can get them loaded with speaker and amp or unloaded.

I use all the rear cargo space even the window wells...
It goes BEHIND the panel under the rear window. It has a template for the cutout in the plastic where the sub goes, as well as a grill. No loss of cargo space at all. Do a search for MTX Thunderform and check it out.

Get a shallow sub and have a fiberglass box built for rear window- you never use it anyways. I have a jl 12" behind 3rd row but I can disconnect it if I ever need room.

Also have a box built between 2&3rd rows looks great

Can this be wired to work with a standard Bose premium console?

Sure; just make sure to buy a compatible sub. Most Bose subs are 2 ohms so measure yours with a multimeter and check, then run the wire to the new sub instead of your old one. Also note the Thunderform has depth allowances in their literature so pay attention. Most shallow mount subs fit.

Thanks, do you know if the stock Bose Premium amp will power it, or will it require an external amp? Don't mind my ignorance, I know next to nothing about car audio. All I know is that the stock sub is underwhelming.

The stock amp should do fine, just be sure to match the ohms, it's probably 2 ohms. If you put in a 4 ohm in place of a 2 ohm it will be half as loud because it would be half as efficient.
