An inch? Two? Not much...

I'd say the KLA hidden enclosures are worth checking out, but I wouldn't put Rockford Fosgate subs in them. I prefer a nice tight transient response. RFs are made to go 'boom', and they make a bass drum sound like a wet fart.
I have an MTX thunder 10" in a sealed box that I got from crutchfield's scratch and dent (there's a negligible scratch on the plexiglass window), and I'm very happy with it.
It's not very stealthy though. But I don't drive my 951 everywhere, so I'm not worried about theft.

Hmmmm so much for a stealth sub install there.

On 240SXs you can fit a 10" in there. Add some DynaMat to kill off vibrations and rattles and its all good.

I'll kinda agree. The RF's do sound good for the dollar. I think JL's sound better, but they're not as stoudt as the RF. I have 1 8" RF in my car that's 3 years old now. Still going strong. I've seen a number of blown JL's (not necessarily in my box either......).

I've got a 10" RF in my car that's between 3 and 5 years old, running off of a "60 Watt" (it's Rockford, so it really pushes between 250 and 300 watts) amp, it's in a big *** ported box (that I hate), but sounds awesome. Very good choice, sounds brand new!! (the amp is equally as old)
