JL Audio makes a sub box that replaces the center seat on the Ram Pickups it has a 12W3. So my question is has anyone put one of these in there truck and how does it sound. Cost is 550.00

Nobody have one or have a friend with one. Also what do you think about powering it with a Infinity Ref 611A has 456 watts rms at 4 ohms. Or does anybody think there is something better to power it with. Here is a link to the JL site with the Stealthbox

if you have the four door. put it under the back seat. sounds way better.

I have the rear seat sub in my Ram 1500 Quad Cab, i will get a picture for you later today MB TOM. I havent heard the center seat box, but I guarantee this one sounds better!

I have the rear seat sub box for my 97 Dodge ClubCab. I actually bought an MTX Thunderform box unloaded and then put 2 JL 10's in it. Sounds excellent and I like the looks better than the JL Stealthbox. My buddy had a JL center console Stealthbox in his Jeep Wrangler and it sounded very good.

the center box rattles to much and all you here is bass with it being right there. i have jl box under my back seat with one 10 and it sounds awesome.

I bought one of these from this guy on ebay, and I've been very happy with it. I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but I figured I'd throw it out there. I have a 12' Alpine type-R which actually required me to add a spacer because the box wasn't quite deep enough.

Frank, That is the same as the stealth box but is a lot less coin even after adding the cost of a JL sub. But I see the sale has ended now I might try to contact him and see if he has anymore of them. The only thing I don't like about the ones that go under the rear seat is you loose that space. Will have to think about this a little more.

I have installed many of these enclosures and have never had a customer unhappy w/ the performance. But remeber, it is only a single 12, a great one mind you, but only a 12 none the less

Well I decided I can't sacrifice the space so went with the JL stealth box and a JL 1800 amp. box should be in friday amp is already in. Maybe down the road add a box under the rear but right now I want the space Thanks for all the tips.

Since I bought the box empty, I can't compare before/after. I have always used JL subs, and in my mind there is no comparison.

had the mtx under my back seats, but built a custom box on my back seat that comes up from the floor kind of like a center console over the back seat. Covered it in black tweed. Hate not having 3 seats in the back, but definitely sounds great. I'll try and post a pic in the next couple of days

A buddy of mine has the JL audio box in his Chevy Avalanche, it replaced the folding door to the back. IT SOUNDS AWESOME!! And its still functional as a door.
