If it’s not there,
they can’t steal it!
That’s right,
take it with you! The Stealth-Pod is a portable subwoofer
enclosure that is so well-designed and universal,
it will fit ’76-’86 CJ7 & Scrambler, ’87-’95
Wrangler YJ, ’97-’06 Wrangler TJ and the
new ’07 & up JK Wranglers. Special
hangers suspend the pod slightly off the tailgate
and incorporate rubber pads to isolate the pod, thwarting
any vibration. The Stealth-Pod’s design
allows it to swing with your tailgate, normal
tailgate function remains unchanged. Removal
is so easy… simply open the tailgate (the
pod also swings out and is now easily accessible),
pull out the special [speaker wire] plug and lift
the pod off the hangers. There’s even
a carry handle on top of the pod!
The
Stealth-Pod’s smaller size leaves much of your
cargo space intact and the portability is great for
times when all cargo space is needed! The
Stealth-Pod lives up to its name, the 10” subwoofer
is unseen by passers-by and the pod can’t be
removed (in most models) unless you open the tailgate
or flip down the back seat. The Stealth-Pod
has Fiber-Fill inside and produces truly remarkable
sound; the subwoofer fires downward on an angle,
maximizing bass output and providing the low-end
audio void your Jeep’s probably missing. The
speaker is protected from view, damaging cargo, and
the elements. Talk about versatility…at
the base of the pod are little rubber feet so you
can take it indoors, put it on the floor, and use
it in your home stereo system!
The
Stealth-Pod should be powered by a 2-channel bridgeable amplifier. Install
your amplifier in a secure, unseen place, such as
under one of the seats, and run the speaker wires
under the carpet and up to the pod, into the special
plug. (Just leave about a foot of slack in
the wire so you can open the tailgate with the pod
suspended on the gate.) When you want to remove
the pod from your Jeep, just open the tailgate, pull
the speaker wire plug (it pops right out of the spring-loaded
terminal), then lift the pod off the custom hangers
by its handle. At this point the electrical
connection is no longer made- your amplifier is still “on” but
is sitting idle and the rest of your existing audio
system works as it always did. No need to unplug
or turn off the amplifier, just unplug the Stealth-Pod, that’s
it! The tiny 1” hangers installed
on the tailgate are all that remain.
Installation
is quick and easy with instructions for all Jeep
models. The Stealth Pod’s two receiving
hangers and rubber bumper are pre-installed on the
pod, so you only need to drill some small holes in
your tailgate and mount the two male ends of the
hangers. Each hanger has a base that uses four
small screws. You’ll have a total of
eight 3/32” holes to drill in specific places
on the tailgate, all of which is covered in detail
in the installation instructions and the correct
drill bit is included! Whichever Jeep model
you have, the male end of the hangers will install
on flat, uniform surfaces of the tailgate and will
line up nicely with the pre-installed hangers on
the pod.
The Stealth-Pod is a .70 cu/ft.
sealed enclosure made of very strong, no-flex ¼” textured
plastic that houses just about any 10” subwoofer,
even subwoofers with very large magnets. All
Stealth-Pods come with a 10” foam speaker gasket
for an air-tight seal. The Stealth-Pod is available
with and without Legacy® audio components: You
can get the Stealth-Pod loaded with a 10” Legacy® subwoofer
rated at 500 watts rms, or you can get it with the
subwoofer and a bridgeable Legacy® 400
watt amplifier along with an 8-gauge amplifier wiring
kit. You can also purchase the pod empty and
add your own audio components. Installation
hardware and detailed instructions with photos are
included with every Stealth-Pod.
- Choose an amplifier that’s
2-channel and bridgeable to
power the Stealth-Pod.
- Some early YJ models have a tailgate stop mechanism
which will need to be removed to install the Stealth-Pod.
- Placement of the Stealth-Pod interferes with
JK Wranglers that have the factory subwoofer behind
the rear seat.
