How much are those IDQ subs? Someone else on the list said that you can
buy the unloaded thunderform at circuit city for like $129 so I should have
a little extra money to spend on good subs.

Thanks,

Just talking retail prices, there is a huge difference in the two. The jl
box
comes in about 600+ dollars and the MTX thunderform can be had for about
350ish... (I can get it for 255)

The jl audio as you said is a single 8" W4 subwoofer. it is placed in a
hand
laid fiberglass box and it wasn't the only box JL made to test out in the
dakota. I think they hired people to listen to it and the sub was placed in
SEVERAL locations before the one produced was picked. But then you have to
think. "Where else could they have put the sub"

The MTX thunderform comes loaded with 2-10" subs. (t-6000s on the new
ones?)
 It provides excellent bass. it replaces the whole rear tray and increases
the rear fold down seat's heigh up at the lip making it more comfortable
for
your passengers to sit. (KEYWORD there: MORE) considering price and
amount
of subs. I'd definantly steer away from the jl-stealthbox and buy the MTX
thunderform. The JL would Sound a little better, but the MTX would be
louder. it just depends if you're a true audiophile or just looking for
some
satisfying low end bass.

PS. from my personal experience. ditch the 2-10" mtx subs and buy 2-10"
IDQ
subs. they hit EXTREMELY low for 10" subs and are very acoustical. I'd
put
my 2-10" IDQ subs up to a panel of judges anyday and I bet I would kill
that
JL-stealthbox

<< I was wondering if anyone else on the mailing list had the JL Audio
stealth
 box in the dak. I do and i like it. just wondering if anyone else had it.
it
 only has an 8 in woofer but sounds great. I know that a lot of people have
 the thunderform. where does it go? and how many subs does it hold and what
 size
