SB-H-DELSOL/8W6 Stealthbox™
Fits Honda Del Sol
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 factory­installed 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 prob­lems: 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).

STEP 6: Stuff the supplied foam-rubber in both sides of body to seal off air-flow between the trunk and the interior of the car. (This is critical. If it is not done, the bass will not sound good!) Use half of the supplied material on each side of the car. When finished, the foam should be firmly stuffed as far back as you can reach. Note how in the second photo some of the foam even pokes through the small opening (see arrow).
STEP 7: Seal small holes in bottom sheet metal with duct tape or silicone.
STEP 8: Reinstall seat belt retractors. STEP 9: Reinstall rear side trim panels.
STEP 10: Carefully place Stealthbox into position making sure it is
sitting straight and level. STEP 11: Drill 3/8" Pilot hole through the Stealthbox mounting
holes located behind the carpet flaps on each end of the box.
STEP 12: Remove the enclosure and open holes up with 1/2” bit.
STEP 13: Place “U-
nuts” (supplied)through the stamped factory holes and over the holes you have just drilled.
