JL Audio Interested In Stealthbox System for BMW E92

ModBargains.com · 04-15-2008, 05:04 PM

Hey everyone,

I went ahead and I was interested in a Stealth Sound system for the BMW E92... But I couldn't find one!

So I e-mailed JL Audio (I hope this isn't a repost), and this is what they told me:

"We would love to build a Stealthbox model for the 07+ 3 Series! However we haven't been able so far to find a vehicle to model from. If you know of someone in the Fort Lauderdale area with this vehicle that might be interested in working with us, please have them contact me at dvertrees@jlaudio.com. We would certainly make it worth their while...!
Thanks,
Don Vertrees"

Maybe someone wants to send him an e-mail. It's dvertrees@jlaudio.com, tell him that James************ mentioned this to you.

Let me know if anyone's sent an e-mail to him about being a test car for them

I'd like to know what's going on!

this sounds VERY promising. I hope it turns out as good looking as the one for the 5 series!!

Sal@AUTOcouture · 04-15-2008, 05:16 PM

I'd like to have a set for my E90 if eventually they're available

man i emailed jl like 6 months ago regaurding stealth box for e92. the response were its in the process.... never heard anything back about it...

but i do wish they have it done by now!!! car's been out almost 2 yrs now... and i been wanting a little more bump... was gonna get basslink but i like jl better!!!

ScheerSpeed · 04-15-2008, 05:24 PM

i can take my car to Ft Lauderdale! but it would be an E90...i think the sound system is the same though right?

badfish · 04-15-2008, 05:28 PM

The JL Stealthboxes are usually custom fit to the shapes of the trunk or some other part of the car. So if the areas in the trunk are any different from E90 to E92 then one will not work for the other unless they take a mold of an identical area.

i think it's the same...anyways, i emailed the guy.

ModBargains.com · 04-16-2008, 12:15 AM

Yeah, E90 or E92, they have neither..This is open to both E90 and E92. He just needs enough interest and a willing participant to get this going!

Kloogy · 04-16-2008, 12:30 AM

I would love to get one for my e92

Chowbow · 04-16-2008, 02:39 AM

I think it'd be great to get it for both E90s and E92s, and if they have the resources, 91s and 93s as well.

Bubbles · 04-16-2008, 03:07 AM

This is BS, JL asked for model several months ago. Several people offered and JL stated they had found a model and closed the request. They are still looking for a model??? What a joke.

ModBargains.com · 04-16-2008, 03:54 PM

Maybe that car backed out? Something came up? Nothing's perfect. Maybe you can let them work with your car Bubbles.

ScheerSpeed · 04-21-2008, 04:58 PM

im going to bring my car by to them this week hopefully if i can find some time

FastLane · 04-21-2008, 05:49 PM

tell them to put a 10" or 12" W7 in there!

(might not be very james bond but it'll sound great!)

325 Baller · 04-23-2008, 02:55 PM

Called them up have an appt next wednesday to drop my car off to begin the process. Im going to ask them if they can put a W7, if theres enough room or a w6 but please no w3.

ModBargains.com · 04-23-2008, 05:45 PM

Whatever's best I suppose. Just keep us updated

Sweet!!! I was just surfing the Crutchfied website looking for a little boom boom for my car. If this is going to happen I think it will be worth to wait. Please keep us posted ScheerSpeed on the progress with the E90.

325 Baller · 04-27-2008, 09:14 PM

wednesday it begins with my car..this is the process...
1. testing and pattern taking
2. plug fitting
3. prototype fitting and testing
4. final fitting and testing
5. photography

in the email they said it should be $500-$700 retail..will let you guys know exactly what they say wednesday, in reference to sub size and model.
