    I think Steve at subthump might be making those soon as well. If he's not making those, then you can also talk with DJ Sexay over at LS1.com Personally, I'm still thinking the Milhouse is the way to go. Speaking as the only person yet around here that has used one, I love it and I'm going back to something like it.

    I have t-tops and that was a concern when I started building mine. You can check mine out in the sig...

      I know supposedly the Millhouse sounds great...I just don't like the way it looks. If you came up with a better looking upgrade to the same product I'd be there!

        My major concern is theft. I have Ttops, and a love for some serious sound, but I'm not in the best area as far as break-in's are concerned. I'm just scared to death that some Joe Schmoe is gonna come around, see what's up thru my back windshield, and do a smash and grab. The stealthbox is great as far as being on the down low, but obviously is limited to the 1 sub. Anyone tried a free air sub attached to the front wall of the storage well?

          Free air subs suck, basically if you want good sound out of them ditch the storage area and rest the glass on your back seat instead.

            You could probably benefit from Milhouse box at www.subthump.com This would allow you to add another sub that fires into the rear well, and when you need to store the tops it flips out like the cargo flap is. Megabass is also working on a passenger side 10inch stealthbox. I'm not sure if it's ready yet though.

              I just ordered a Millhouse box from Steve and I can't wait! :D

              If you don't like the looks of the Millhouse box, remember that the face of the enclosure is no longer made with carpet, it's done in vinal to match the interior. I wasn't very interested in the carpet either but I know the vinal is going to look MUCH better. I'll post pictures when it's done... I'm sure steve will keep me posted on his progress as he's already busy enough. Hopefully it will be in my car in 4-6 weeks but i'm patient... a little ancy but i'm still patient.... :eek:

              oh who am I kidding... I wanna hear my stuff!! [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]

                I understand you might not like it, but perhaps Steve would take a suggestion on what would make it look better to you. You don't like what it looks like, but what should it look like?

                  Just remember that the box part need to be a certain size and shape to be able to fit down in the well. People stop asking if you can put 15s in there. It is NOT possible--they are simply too big. And, as far as I know, no one has seen MY design except me and the first few guys that have received them. I'm hoping to get some pics up soon though. :D

                    Wow... who said Solo Barics rip at the corners? I've been pounding the hell out of a Solo L7 12" in a ported box and I haven't had any problems at all, however, if it does, I'm backed by a 3 year warranty because not only am I a Kicker dealer, I'm also an installer... If anyone is interested, I have 2 Kicker ZR1000 left from last year. If you know anything about the Z series amps then you know how great they are. Sadly, Kicker has retired them.

                            since I dont have TTops I cant really say much, but all I do know is that my setup is really loud, everyone around me says that to me :D
                            i'd say mid - high 140's

                              Man that is loud. Just think if you had a couple W7s and two 500.1s.

                              I'm working on getting pics of the milhouse.

                                i was thinking two w7's and 2 1000.1's, since the w7's are power hungry
