I think this is a first on here?
I recently had the Maverick JL Stealthbox professionally installed with a JL Amp and line out converter (LC2i). I paid the standard retail of $799 for it.
It sounds very good; very clean and tight (as expected from JL). The non-premium speakers in the Maverick are BAD so this really helps the audio by removing the base from the factory speakers. Although I still might change out the mids and highs at a later date because the sound still gets "crunchy" with certain songs.
I am a child of the 80s/90s and, unfortunately, this setup does not pass the Beastie Boys test. I have had a LOT of subs/systems throughout the years and I always play Paul Reverie to judge a subs ability. If you can really hear/ feel the (extremely) low bass from that song then it "passes"
.
The caveat being, I'm pretty sure none of the readily available boxes on the market would "pass" either. To really get deep, low bass in a Maverick you would need a large, custom built, ported box. I only mention this to set expectations for subs in the under seat area. And, it's not to say my setup isn't very nice; it is. But it's also limited in the type of volume/depth it can produce. I knew that going in so I'm not disappointed.
Final thoughts; is it worth it, no. It is overpriced (but not by a lot). I have no point of comparison but I suspect it sounds as good as any of the other pre-made box/sub configurations out there. But it cost more..... In it's favor it looks good and is extremely clean. The fit and finish is second to none. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

. I just might take a shot at this. I know pricey but kind of interested in the stealthbox. I don’t use the storage anyway
