JL Stealth Box for E92 --> Ft. Lauderdale Members?

Shamu · 03-07-2007, 12:25 PM

I reached out to JL regarding a stealthbox implementation for the E92s and here's their reply to me:
___________________________
The 335i coupe is not yet on our development list, primarily because we don't yet have a vehicle to pattern from. If you know of anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area who might be interested in working with us, please have them contact me. This is a vehicle we would like to do as soon as a vehicle becomes available.
Thanks,
Don Vertrees

I received the same response from Don when I inquired about the E90.

I would like to be, but I live too far away from JL in Miramar.

325 Baller · 03-08-2007, 10:34 PM

hmm i live about 20 min north of ftl, how does this procedure work do i lend them my car and they make a proto type that i pay full cost for or?

gichoke · 03-09-2007, 12:06 AM

Any update from JL?

aus · 03-15-2007, 12:17 AM

We got a group buy out of a similar project on the X5. Sounds great and you can't beat the price through the GB.

Rodrigo · 03-22-2007, 08:27 PM

Any updates to this thread? I had also contacted JL about a stealthbox and was thinking about providing my coupe for the R&D, but since delivery of my coupe didn't go as planned I can't even consider it for now. But maybe if I get the vert they'd be interested in that.

Anyhow, here's more info from Don regarding what's involved from a reply I received from him just in case anyone's interested.

Yes, although we're not actively looking for an E92 Coupe, we would certainly be interested if one were to be available to us. We'd need the car one day at a time, 4-5 different times over a 2-3 month period. We do all our prototyping in Miramar. If you or someone you know would be interested please let me know. We'd be glad to supply a free Stealthbox to the person who lends us the vehicle in addition to covering expenses.
Thanks,
Don Vertrees

No Stealthbox for the E90. JL is looking for a test vehicle.

send an email to JL. You can view the contact info on their website.

Sim Simma · 08-15-2007, 02:11 PM

Was anyone kind enough to bring there car in for fitment? I would really like to get this for my e92!

Rodrigo · 08-15-2007, 04:41 PM

I haven't heard anything and never kept in contact with them since I didn't want to eat up the little trunk space I have on a top-down E93 with a box.

I may ask them if they'll consider using their upcoming thin line TW5 subs for an under seat stealthbox application though. That would be great if it could be made to work since I don't know if there's enough air space down there for what those subs require.

ya im waiting for the thin line to come out also... need that space.

Lee Rambler · 08-15-2007, 05:32 PM

you won't be able to come up with the air space (~.3ft3) for the 10", much less the surface area to fit the 10". They are only planning a 10" and 12", at least initially. I will say they are pretty badass though... (I've seen working prototypes, and I know someone who worked on the project). I'm impatiently waiting on the 10 for my Z3, currently have a 10W0 in the footwell, and the missus will appreciate the extra foot room when I can finally glass a smaller/thinner box down there...

WOW, I'd rather pay for the damn thing, then spend my time dropping my car off four+ times..

Lee Rambler · 08-15-2007, 06:03 PM

can't pay for something that doesn't exist yet though (well, I guess you could). if someone would do it, it would help the rest of us out too ( as well as garnish you with a free stealtbox that you couldn't get period otherwise)
