Dsfa Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 After busting my cookies at work the whole summer. I finally got up a enough money to buy some new stereo stuff and the last piece I was waiting for was the Stealthbox. It arrived today and Guess what? It has NO DRIVER IN IT and it wasnt even carpeted. WTF!!!!!!! I call Tweeter and thier going to order me another one , so I have to wait another week or so to get it! :icon_conf What sucks also is I took time off from work to install this and now I can't. Sorry about the rant as I am really disapionted . On a lighter note here is what I am going to install. DLS IRIDIUM 6.2 AUDISON LRX 4.300 AUDISON LRX 1.400 JLAUDIO CLEANSWEEP STEALTHBOX HARMAN KARDON DRIVE PLAY. I can't wait............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fweasel Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, mine (different model, different car) had a borked sub, but was way out of warranty by the time it was installed. ignore him, he'll go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not Tweeters fault, it was sent from JL Audio with the seal unbroken.I can't believe that they would send it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they sound great but it's a little harder to hide the 3 ways. I was thinking of install the 6.2 s active and correct me if I am wrong I could not do that with the amp that I have and the 6.3 What do you think of installing them active?

msmith Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 There is no way that I can think of that this enclosure left JL Audio with no driver in it and no carpeting. We don't sell Stealthboxes without drivers or carpet and I can't imagine how it would have passed through several hands and gotten shipped that way. That being said, I suppose anything is possible, but it is very strange. Please call our customer service dept. at 1-888-JLAUDIO, ask for Iris... I will give her a heads up on your issue.

16psibrick Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 well, a small midrange andt weet wouldnt be that noticable to be honest... but you are right, in order to bi-amp the 6.3, you would need 6 channels of amplification... either way, do a sound installation and you will love the way it sounds i hope you are doing lower door or kick mounted tweets hehe b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope JL hasn't been jacked by the corporate pirates overseas. Tweeter wouldn't knowingly sell fakes...but eBay stores might.

Sad but true , anyways shit happens and Tweeter was very cool about it and they were just as puzzled as you. Jay my sales rep has been selling JL for 7 years and he said he has never seen it happen. The only thing that I am really unhappy about is that the new one won't be in untill the middle of next week. I am glad I bought from an authorized dealer as I can imagine what a nitemare it would have been if I bought on ebay, Manville if your interested in researching it the Stealthbox was purchased in Salem NH. At this time there is no piont calling JL as Tweeter is handling it well . Unless I can get free Tshirt or something I probably won't call >>>>>>>>JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far they sound incredible and I bet once there broken they will get even better.My previous speakers were Focal polyglass and I thought they sounded alittle to forward . These Dls are just what I was looking for and so far I am very pleased! I did notice I slight bump in the upper mids an low treble portions of the speakers.I going to run them bridged intill I break them in and after thats done I am going to run them active. Where do recomend I start as far as crosover points with these? There is little information about the crossover piont in the manual.
