I think the best thing I've heard, hands down, are the Stealthboxes that JL Audio puts out. They're awesome, I've had two Dodge Rams where I've put these things in and they are the best. The good thing is that all you have to do is hook them up to an amp and they're ready to go, carpet is color-matched to your vehicle and everything. Bad thing is that they haven't made one for the HHR - yet. Basically, they design the box to fit somewhere in the vehicle where it can be hidden and acoustically matched to the vehicle's interior. I had a Dodge quad cab where I put one in the rear, under the seats - it had two 10 inch subs and it rocked, regardless of what I listened to.

 

i was looking at these subs and this headunit.

Just out of curiosity - where you gonna put the subs? I'm hoping someone will design something specifically for the HHR that will take advantage of the storage space in the back. It'd be cool if JL Audio or another company would design a box with something like a 12- or 15-inch sub that sits in that spot and doesn't take away from the cargo space. Are you planning on doing something like that?

 

Maybe you could put one of them small coolers in the dash to keep your sub cold on the way home...

 

naw, they burn them all the time.

 

In his Road Ripper.

 

Hhaaa, I was thinking of just doing a box and putting it in the cargo area, and when it needed to be moved fold down the rear seats and push the sub box on them. This was my idea, i emailed JL and MTX and sevral other comps. Telling them to make a stealth box for the HHR. I dont think it will be a 15 most likly two 10's or a 12.

 

they may need a model to prototype something will you let them borrow your Road Ripper?

-wC

 

they can photoshop the prototype off of his roadripper pics

 

I thought JL was overpriced at one point, too, 'till I compared them to other brands and really heard the difference. But again, JL produces excellent sub sound (higher quality) rather than the "I can hear you comin' down the street" thumping. This is especially true if you get down-firing rather than standard face-up (or out) models.
