Ordered my JL stealthbox!!!!!04 Screw

Backordered (of course) - Shop says 2 weeks, so we'll see.....Has a single 10w3v2 in a PORTED box that goes under rear seat. Should hit pretty hard. Now I just need to find a great deal on a JL 500/5 amp so if anyone knows how to get reasonably priced JL products LET ME KNOW!!!

BTW the stereo shop here is a little overpriced. They wanted $899 for a new 500/5.

Fosgate 500x1 works well also. JL makes a good product but its overpriced.

MSRP is rumored to be in the $550 range...

Think I paid around $350 for my last one.

EDIT: Beat me to it! So did you actually pay MSRP?!

Just to get it ordered YES. Plus there are no other JL dealers close by.
I'm kinda screwed in that aspect. But I REFUSE to buy an amp from them.

It's like $5k over sticker on an '05 mustang. Supply and demand rules. Unless you wait for a year I think it will be hard to find one under MSRP. But if you know where I can find one cheaper I'll cancel my order in a heartbeat.

I don't think you'd have to wait an entire year to find a cheap stealthbox. Markup on audio equipment like speakers & stuff is H-U-G-E. I'll have to ask around and see what I can find out.

Anybody have any pictures of the stealthbox for the 04...? And will this fit the Scab as well? I was under the impression that the Stealth boxes come with a self powered option (internal amp), but I guess I'm wrong....

What about the prefabbed boxes from Kicker, with internal powered amps... does anyone know if those are slated for production.....?

I just called my local stereo shop and they said the stealth box for the F150 Supercrew is available and they are in stock. They said MSRP is $599 but they will make me a deal and sell it for $549. Big deal.... I hate buying stereo stuff. I use to get buddy deals at another shop for super cheap. Its funny how much they mark this stuff up. Some stuff almost 500%. My buddy hooked me up with some home speakers they were selling for $2800 for only $500. He told me that was cost plus 10%. It just goes to show you that if you know someone you can get killer prices. Ill have to call my buddy and see if they can get me JL. I dont think they are a dealers anymore.

Would anyone be interested in a mass buy for the F150 SuperCrew?
