Stealth Sub Box for 2GS?
As the title states, I am looking for a Stealth box for a GS.
I haven't seen any vendors selling one for our cars.
Not sure but it look like I may have to go to a shop and get it done.
Any suggestions?

Uhm. Most sub boxes will fit in the back pretty stealth.. Unless your going 15s with some huge ports.
Here is mine. Not done yet
Update!
Mine pictured went up, directly up into the 12 inch hole that i made. It was screwed directly into the deck with a rubber subwoofer ring to minimize and eliminate any rattles to the deck. I was ready to attach my carpeted wood wall to complete the stealth look, until i started to play around with the setup.
Long story short i came to the conclusion, that the bass is ALOT louder when the subwoofer is facing the trunk, and it even got louder the closer it was to the trunk. Crutchfield even did a DB test on this. I am now redoing everything. With the windows down the bass is almost completely gone. When air enters the cabin through the windows, it goes directly to the back window where the sub is trying to move air... This was my experience. Not worth it IMO

Evidently you guys dont know what a stealth enclosure is.
OP, what exactly are you looking for, lots of bass or just clean sound? The best enclosure for stealth that I recommend of good sound and pretty good bass (depending on quality of equipment) is just using your stock location and building a box that attaches to the bottom and is the length of the rear deck. Of course prep the deck properly. This will give you a stealth look and allow you to still keep your trunk. Depending how much cutting you want to do to the deck, you could also go as far as porting the box into the cabin as well. This set up is great for quite a few reasons, but one of my favorite reasons is because you'll get no trunk rattle since all the sound it going into the cabin.

I was looking for something like this too. Maybe a box that attaches to one end in the trunk (quarter panel) and possibly opposite side of the amp/navi. Havent seen anything yet.

I don't think anyone's ever produced them commercially, but I've seen a handful of custom ones. There's a seller on ebay who makes custom enclosures to fit the raised/cubby portion of the GS trunk. Maybe you could contact him and ask him if he's able to make one for either of the sides?

Not sure if that's the exact one but the ebay seller makes one just like it. I sent him a message yesterday about making one for the side of the trunk but have yet to hear back from him.

I would assume any local audio shop can do this. You just gotta give them the specs. They can measure the physical dimensions out themselves. I have been looking into doing this for my W6 as well. Got MDF boards in my garage that have been sitting in there for like 5 years now lol. Just gonna pay someone to do it for me.
