    Stealth box is a simple drop in, bolt down option.

    Where you will run into problems is you need to install a amp to power the subwoofer.

    To install a amp, there are several ways to go about it.
    You can buy plug and play harnesses, then just run your wires.
    You can build your own harness for alot cheaper, then just run your wires.
    Or you can buy a line level converter, then run the wires.


    The common part of all of these is that you need to get power and signal to the amp. Power wire you will run from the battery, threw the firewall, under the carpet and to the amp. There are several mounting locations you can use depending on your choices. You can mount under the driver or passenger seats, you can install in the storage behind the rear seats, and you can put it in the storage under the rear seats (if your amp is small enough)

    Some amps have line level inputs with signal detection. These are easy to use on a factory system. Others have rca only inputs, these require a line level converter and usually a remote turn on wire run.

    Look around at some of the other installs as they will all apply in basic to the fact that you need to install a amp.
