Stereo & Electronics - T-Tops

Has anyone more there t-top holder ??? I want to put some subs :headbang: in my trunk area but still be able to use something to secure my t-tops down.........any suggestions???

Has anyone "MOVED" there t-top holder........not more

I had to remove my t-top holders on my 98, in order to get the enclouser in that location. I ended up having to use the backseat to store the tops when I had them out. You can look into getting a stealth box for your F-body, and this will keep you from having to remove the t-top holders. I know some of the guys here use the stealth enclouser, but I have never used this type of enclouser.

i built a box with a 10" l5 that fit down in the trunk with the holder still mounted and just made the box easy to remove, mounted the amp and crossover on the box so all i have to do is disconnect the rca, power and ground and yank it out other than that i just put my t-tops in my back seat.

Better yet, keep your holder in the same spot and put in a badass custom box and amp rack like mine:

damn dude thats pretty badass you do that yourself? that speaker box isnt fiberglass is it

check out JL audio, they have a prebuilt box that fits in the driver side just like that and sounds great with a decent amp.

Same set up I have. I think that is all the power that car needs with the truck. Believe me and I used to have a 4 runner with 4 12's and two punch 1000's. need less to say the little single 10 is all I like any more.

yea I got tired of not being able to hold the tops, so i changed out the 2 10"s for 1 10" and used the stealth box. love it. resonates really well and the sound sounds great

I didnt do it myself but I cant tell you what company made the sub box. I know that the amp rack is custom though by the last owner. I hate that sub but it does fine until I can justify spending money on a better one when I barely have the music up. (exhaust is my music :devil: )

One sub is definately all you need unless you want to have insane bass that drowns any sort of sound quality. The hatchback does wonders for amplifying the bass. Just get a good amp and sub, upgrade your alternator and you'll be able to thump when ya want but still keep great sound quality. Provided you have decent mid and high speakers that is.

i made my own steath box

subthump has a box where you can still put your t tops in the hatch, and holds 2 10's or 12's. but you don't use your stock t top holders.

Use two tens in a small sealed box and put them right behind the back seats. I got a jeep box and it fits perfectly.

Have any pics.? I would like to see your setup.

I like your set-up but I want at least two ten inch subs........

how does it sound.....I like to have loud subs

If you want loud, go with the enclouser that fits in your rear trunk space, with the subs firing off the hatch. I had 2 12's set up like this and they were beating like 4 12's. Only disadvantage of using an enclouser like this, is that you may have to remove your t-top holders in oreder for the box to fit properly.

Try one stealth box and see what you think. They put out nice sound but I wanted more!! This is what I did and I still can use T-top holders!!

dude your setup is awesome! did you cut out the side of the back panel where the spare goes? that's wicked!

you could have a custom shop build a 10 on each side , but you would lose your spare. imo, you should try to find someone with this box and listen to it. i had it in a 95 z28 i used to have and it hit 141 db with a 500 watt phoenix gold amp.

subthump used to make a passenger side box also, but i think they discontinued it. i ahve one of their driver side boxes

I like your set-up but I want at least two ten inch subs........


you mean like this?

subthump makes a box that holds your t-tops. not using the factory holder, but provides a slot for them to rest in. according to some people with that style box, they fit rather snug, someone suggested just putting a towel between the 2 tops just to prevent scratching, but otherwise, they dont move. and the box looks amazing.

I'd suggest posting questions like this in the stereo/electronics section for future reference. You'll find more people who have been there done that. lol good luck.

I got the T-top box from subthump and i love it. The t-tops dont lock in anywhere but like mentioned above with a couple towels in between them and around, they fit real snug. Price is a little steep at $330 but to me its worth it. I wanted two subs also....12's [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c23/litemup02/IMG_0082.jpg

that looks really clean litemup02. did you build the amp rack your self?

Great thread Guys, i was about to start one but I found this.

Has anyone "MOVED" there t-top holder........not more


it's "THEIR" not there.

sub thump sells both sides still. as of a few days ago, when i was on the site.

I also have to give the thumbs up for the t-top subthump box. I have a triple 10 inch sub enclusure by subthump and it sounds/looks asolutely awesome. Mine though is goingup for sale as my car is pretty much sold. On a side note some of you guys in this thread have some badass stereo setups and installs!

Didn't know i was in english class :givesfuck

but anyway thanks for the info teacher

hahaha. that's funny, cause i basically gave the dude the same answer. h ahaha. i guess time after time being told sub thump, just doesn't register to people. :bang:


no, i know about sub thump but i was looking for a single box that hold more than one sub that will fit somewhere in my car and still be able to secure my t-tops down.......... :engarde:

are those tens ??
that might be the direction I need to go......nice setup

Keep it simple, use the Subthump T-top enclosure.

I used a similar enclouser as litemup02, 2 12's in this type of enclouser hit like 4 12's( firing off the rear hatch). The only problem is not being able to store your t-tops in their holders. I have never used a stealth enclouser, but I can imagine it sounds just as good.

this is the box from sub thump that you want dude. this was what i was refering to. not the stealth box.

i got a regular box for $60 i couldnt afford $300 for a ttop box so ill be doing towel in the back seat on the floor probably??
