Does anyone on the board know whether the JL audio stealthbox for B5 Passat will fit the A4 trunk?

Here is a picture of the steathbox and how it fits into the passat. I'm thinking about gaining some trunk space by going with that route.

I doubt it. Why would JL sell a different box for the A4 then?

Default The A4 stealthbox is actually made more for the earlier (pre 99.5) A4's... the trunk contours of

the 99.5+ A4's requires some cutting for the A4 stealthbox to fit from what I have read here before. So I was thinking since I have to do a bit of cutting anyways, the stealthbox for the Passat would save me a lot more space and would sound quite a bit better (since it is a 10 inch sub instead of 2 8's).

I thought the stealthbox was for all B5s. But even then, I still doubt the Passat one would fit...

Default I just saw one yesterday in a Passat. It's not bad.

But for the price you might as well get one custom made for your car by an installer.
