Title: Golf mk5 stealth subbox from ebay
Post by: JMP on October 10, 2013, 11:02:33 am
Im planning to purchase a stealth type subbox for my golf. Its this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151120098217

Has anyone used this visual-ice company before and how is their box quality? Anything to look out for?

Quality and fitment was excellent.

^^ that looks great, I'm considering one myself as when I bought the car it had a big 12" sub, amp and enclosed in the boot. It sounds great but I hate the way it looks.

Are you running an amp too? If so where did you put it? I was considering on one if the rear seat backs but I'm open to ideas.

Ps, sorry to hijack the thread :P

Thanks! Yes Im running the sub with Alpine PDX1.1000 which is under the drivers seat. I wanted the trunk to remain as stock as possible, so I hid the amps under seats. I chose the Alpine because of the small size, at the time I was buying it, it was practically the only 1kw D-class amp that would fit under the seat. My front stage 4-channel amp is under the passanger seat (LHD car) :)
