I have an F350 that has captains chairs with center consoles front and rear. The stock head unit is quit acceptable feature wise, and even the door speakers are not awful, the lower frequencies are quite lacking however. I thought a nice clean way to solve the lack of bass might be to put a JL Audio Stealthbox in the center console (preferably the rear one)

I don't even know where I can get one (I'm in Kamloops BC Canada).
Another option is a "custom made" box with another sub in the center console, or a "truck box" behind the seats ( ick :-/ ).

Any opinions?
Know how I can get the Stealthbox at a reasonably price?
I do have a 10" Cadence Beast subwoofer here not in use.

Another problem I think is the stock deck "adjusts" (lowers) the voltage output to the sub as the volume increases.
Anymore issues?

FYI, I have access to:
- Alpine PDX-M12 amp with bass ****
- Audio Control Epicenter (1st generation)
- Carver KLW Audio Phantom (bass enhancer)
- Audio Control EQX
- Audio Control MVC


Thanks,

I have since heard the stock head unit doesn't lower the voltage, but adjust some internal EQ to lower bass output as you turn up the volume. Is that correct?

^ Well, does it?

Put in something with a heavy bass line and turn it up. Does it roll back the bass?

If so, your best bet is an interface that can accomodate for this. Quite a few do now but I find a nice easy to use one that's fairly inexpensive is the Re-Q5.
