Default C4 sub

Has anyone managed to squeeze a 10 " sub in by the rear hatch speakers and keep it under the grille?

Would it fit and/or how much fabrication would be required?

Trying to keep it stealthy looking.

Passenger storage bin is full, that's where I keep my nitrous bottle.
Driver storage bin has that power brake thing, and am afraid to put a strong magnet (sub) near it.

8s are tight in the factory locations, I would think 10s could be fit if it was built up and out bigger overall mount. The Factory grilles will be too small to cover the 10.

x 2 Its a waste of your time to think that you can fit a 10" back there. I still have a lightweight C4 Greenwood subwoofer box that I was holding for a member, but I dont think he's going to buy it anymore...might be an answer for you. It doesnt weigh more than 8 lbs and it can hold four 8's or two 10's and have the proper volume for both. Here is a pic of it




pm me if you're interested.

Personally, I installed a pair of Image Dynamics 8" back there and they are plenty loud and deep enough! Feed them 250 Watts and they hit hard!

8's are a tight fit, and with 10's you could definitely forget about a grille. 2 8's provide an ample amount of bass for any regular listening.
