Subthump Large Drivers Side Stealth Enclosure Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is there room on this box to mount an amp? Maybe on the backside somewhere or on the end toward the rear seat? I can't tell from the pictures on the Subthump site.

Depending on the size of your amp, there should be. I purchased the similar box that came with the 5 channel amp (not currently on the site) and it had a recess in the box for the amp (polk 5000.5) I believe that the standard large driver boxes are the same shape as the one that I got, just without the recess. I don't believe that there would be enough space on the back of the box due to how it fits in the wheel area, but there should be enough on the front of the box near the rear seat. Or they have the passenger side amp rack that should definitely work.

Are you using the Subthump drivers side smaller sub box? I think is is only for a 10" sub??? I understand that one doesn't require you to remove or cut the carpeting in the trunk. I wonder if it has the same dimensions except not as deep into the wheelwell??

My amp measures: 11.4" x 8.1" x 2.1"

The face of the box is the same on both.

Thanks Steve. Do you think there is an area on the box to mount my amp which measures 11.4" x 8.1" x 2.1" other than on the face of the box. If the face is the only place, do you make a separate amp cover board for that? I hate having it mounted on teh face of the box and then the wires always exposed to crap I throw in my trunk.

The face is the only surface large enough to mount an amp. I have seen some very clean installs with the amp mounted there.

Mine has the 12" sub in it, and amazon lists the dimensions of my amp as being 13-5/16"L x 6-3/4"W x 1-13/16"H, but that may include the retail box for shipping. I do have the carpet out of mine too, since it wouldn't fit without removing or cutting it. I know that the kit that I have has the amp cover plate, but again, it was for a system that came with the cover and the recess for the amp. At the absolute worst case, if you can't get a cover board, you could probably use some flexible plastic wire conduit or something to protect the wires from the stuff in your trunk.

I just purchased the same box and I don't see any reason I can't put my amp inside of the box w/ the sub. It looks like there will be plenty of room inside.
