Ok, now what?(stealthbox)

This is really stupid. I just had my stealthbox installed a week ago and last night noticed my small corner altezza light is out. I went to see if it was loose to see that the sub is bolted in my way. How am i supposed to get to the rear lights without uninstalling the stealthbox? I e-mailed jl audio about this dilemma just wondered what you guys thought, those of you with stealthbox. By the way i didn't install it myself and don't plan on uninstalling it myself but want to fix the light. I hope there is a simple answer to this question although i have a feeling there isn't

A stealth-box is a custom built box depending on the car to minimize the room that the enclosure would take up.

You could call the place that installed it and ask them what they can do...

The JL audio Stealthbox is a 10" sub with a custom enclosure made to be completely camouflaged in your trunk. It looks like it's not even there;

Good stuff.

Even if i call the place I don't think they are going to unistall and install it for free and i have no more money right now. but i night call them anyway because they probrably knocked the light loose in the first place installing it. we'll see.

That sucks about the corner light. So there's no way you can peal back the lining in the trunk around the light to gain access to the taillight bulbs?

Nope absolutely no way to get to it. The thing covers that whole part of the trunk right up to where the lid opens up and is bolted tight from under the car. So far i e-mailed jl audio saturday and still no repoonse.

if you unbolt the top bolt, would that give the stealth box any play?

im thinking your best option would be to unbolt the top bolt and hope that you can turn or shift the box far enough away from the back so you can access that light


i have a stealth box too, but decided not to install that way, instead, i ended up cutting a false floor to hold it in place. not being able to get to the lights was one of my main concerns about following the install directions
