Discrete sub location?
I know this has to have been discussed to the end, but I can't find it in the excursion forums.
I'm looking for a good location for a small powered sub woofer. I've seen the stealth box but they're too expensive and I couldn't find one if I did decide to spend that much.
I've seen ppl installing in the rear swing doors and that's my favorite location, but I'd prefer much less work. Running wires is one thing, but since I've sold all my tools I don't really have the resources.
I have the stock speakers and a good head unit. ( kenwood dnx9990hd )

Pretty much stuck with the steathbox, unless you can find a shop to build a custom enclosure that fits inside the spare, but with the labor to customize the mount for the spare and the fiberglass box, you might as well spend the money on a stealthbox.

They stole the panel with the speaker off the door, it was unlocked in my driveway. We live in a neighborhood that has been safe for the 15 years we have been there, we know everyone so I never locked the doors. I do now haha.

That's my favorite location. Did you just cut a hole in your panel or did you cut out a whole new panel out of MDF or plywood?
