Default anyone with subs look here

I'm trying to figure out my options for adding subs to the vette...i'm flexible, 1-10 2-10s, or 1-12. I was wondering what kinda boxes people had and if you bought them how much the set up ran you and where i can get some. I could make my own as i've made custom boxes before but i dont know if i'm good enough to make something to fit in the center rear compartment. I want to be able to use my trunk. post pix if you can or PM me

SubThump Stealth box. Single 10" Kenwood Excelon 2ohm DVC Carbon Fiber sub. The stealth box is great! Steve @ SubThump is great. I'm pushing the sub with 1000 watts, the front componets at 200 watts each, rear coaxels at 200 watts each. Sounds great. The box was perfect for the sub. Good quality. Great price!

Thanks! I don't have a cap. The lights don't dim. Both amps powered & grounded directly off the Optima Red top. Sounds great. Try subthumps web site at http://www.subthump.com/c5vette.htm

I don't have a cap on mine. I am running 2 10 inch JLs with a 1200 watt ppi amp. I have had no problems with mine. No dimming lights or any negative effects. Sounds Great!!!

The only problem with subthump is getting it. I ordered and paid for mine almost 2 weeks ago and they still havent even made it yet! I tried to get an approx date and they just said still working.

Thanks! Yours looks pretty sweet as well, I used to run JLs in mine.

I moved here from NY about 7 years ago. I eat at Tokyo's in Palm Harbor every now and then.
