JL Audio - Stealthbox

Why does JL Audio say that the rear stealth box will NOT fit vehicles without the rear powerlift option??? I don't get it....

The actuator rod/motor that tucks behind the interior quarter panel trim would not allow the enclosure to fit.

Since you have one, how is it to sit in the drivers rear with the subs in your left ear?

bass frequencies low enough for a sub are non-directional- you can't really distinguish where they are coming from.

So are you saying that it WILL fit the Tahoe that does NOT have the power lift option? I must have mis-read what their website said.

Oh I thought you meant models with the power lift gate option so I guessed it was because of the power hatch parts.
After looking at the install instructions I do not know what they mean by that. If it can fit the power gate model it should fit the non-power one too because their is nothing at all back there to stop it.
The only thing I can think of that will prevent install is maybe the non-power model does not have the three studs in the back that the triangulated plate needs to mount to. I doubt that though.

Someone go and look at the link below and see if they see a reason.

when i installed mine i had to use one of the existing holes for the bracket where the harness was secured.. if the harness isn't there i dunno but the hole should still be there not sure why that would be a case tho..

is the only spot your seeing only power lift gate in the name? as in yukons/tahoes with power lift gate?

cause in the writing it says

For GM's big SUV's, we now offer this powerful solution that fits all versions

so i think it just means even with the power lift gate it works..

Nope. Because it's a big empty space, nothing is custom made for it. The only type of Pre-fab boxes are the ones that go in to cubbies and pockets and misc. holes in the sides of different vehicles.

Well guys, I got the Stealthbox installed,
looks great, sounds great.

Here is an installed pic for reference:


overall, it is great - a little loud for my tastes but the remote gain knob for the amplifier makes it real easy to adjust.

They removed the factory Bose sub (they thought there may be some phase-cancellation from the stock sub) and were able to mount the amplifier inside the console where the subs used to live.

Thanks for all the feedback that pushed me over the edge to purchase this equipment.

Very nice. Love it.

Has anyone confirmed whether the Stealthbox will fit without the power lift gate? After looking through the install instructions I cant find a reason why it wouldn't but I want to be sure before pulling the trigger.
