Looks like it is going to be a nice setup. The only input I have is...

The sub is a DVC 4-Ohm with an RMS of 350w, but the amp is a 500w @ 2-Ohm RMS on the mono channel. I don't have too much experience with Polk subs and how they handle being over powered.

It should sound pretty good once completed

Rear speakers in C5 vert are 5.25", not 6.5"

May want to try the Polk MM521 if you're stuck on polk's.

You really won't need the cap, but it doesn't hurt anything.

It should be OK as long as the setup is done properly to prevent clipping. You'll definitely get all the bass you can out of that sub

Change radio to a recommended 8000 since you have a vert for 350.00 more...you will want the 8000 in a vert as you can see the screen better. The 8000 and the 991 have capacitive touch screens and much better options for sunlight

Thank you for your input I will make the change to the 8000

I like the polk mm1040s. As a matter of fact I'm looking at installing 6 of them in the rear on a 3000 watt mmat amp. if my calculations are correct I can fit all of them under the targa top of my c6. Of course I'll have to go sealed but that's alright.

I would rethink the Polk speakers (very bright sounding). Look at Dynaudio or Morel speakers/subs. The Arc's are good also.

If you're trying to get a sub to fit under the targra top you're going to have to look at the shallow mount stuff that's less than 5 inches depth. I know the Polks are pretty decent price and you can fit the twelves under the targa top
