I wired mine to the passenger side compartment. I just stuck a towel in-between the spare tire and the amp so that it doesnt rattle. Works great and nothing is visible
The amp is still visible, but its clean and hidden when the hatch is closed.

I am running a JL 10" in a stealthbox to a JL 1000 watt amp...its been in there for about a year and a half now and i havent had any overheating problems whatsoever with it being behind that panel.

Sounds good I think that amp I have hasa cooling fan built in also.
Where is the place to go for the best deal on a stealthbox and JL sub?

The stealthbox can be had for about $75 shipped off Ebay, but some of them are junk. www.subthump.com has all great quality stuff. You're looking for something made out of MDF, not particle board.
As for the sub, JL's W1 line only comes in a single 4 ohm model if I'm remembering right. Your amp will output the most power with a 2 ohm load. So.... if you must stick with JL, then you'll have to step up to the W3 line. They use dual 4 ohm coils. But then it starts to get a little pricey for you. $140-150ish shipped I think. I recommend a dual 4 ohm Alpine Type-R. They can be had for about $105 shipped brand new. DAMN fine subwoofer for the price.
Think I found the sub I want thru crutchfield, its a Infinity Kappa 10.1 for $150
I have had 2-Infinity 12" subs that are 14 years old now and still perform great!
I think subthump is the way to go on the box.
Now how does that amp rack mount to the car?
Also does the Sub box get secured to the side somehow?
I am still not sure if I want to limit my space in the trunk with the amp rack but instead zip tie the amp to my spare tire with some sort of isolation pad between?
Don't mean to be an a$$.... but the Kappa's not half the sub the Type-R is....and more expensive to boot.
If you do decide to go with the Kappa, make sure you get the dual 4 ohm version. Or as Crutchfield puts it " 10" Switchable 2 or 8-ohm Component Sub" .... lol
