Installation Guide:
This Stealthbox™ is a product which requires professional installation skills and tools. Please read this
installation guide thoroughly before beginning the project. It will guide you step by step through the
installation. Some steps in this process may require two people to accomplish.
This enclosure is designed to mount behind the seats of the Honda Del Sol, replacing the factory-
installed storage compartments. It is absolutely vital that the enclosure be properly mounted to the
vehicle according to these instructions. Failure to mount the enclosure properly presents two prob-
lems: 1) the sub-bass performance will suffer due to the movement of the enclosure caused by the
force exerted by the woofers and 2) A loose enclosure could cause injury in the event of a collision or
sudden jolt.
STEP 1: Remove center console.
STEP 2: Remove rear storage compartments.
STEP 3: Remove back wall trim panel.
STEP 4: Remove rear side trim panels.
STEP 5: Unbolt and
remove seat belt
retractors from both
sides of the car (two
bolts per retractor).
