Help with Sub/Amp Enclosure for C6
I replaced the factory HU with a Kenwood DDX8017, used the PAC module for the front speakers to keep the warning tones (doesn't really work) and OnStar (does work nicely). I installed an amp with a 10" bazoka but I'm out of room in the trunk. Can anyone recommend a configuration or fiberglass solution, i.e. sub/amp enclsure?

Wow! That looks great!!!
I wish I could do something like that but I have the convertible. Do you know of any other options or anyone else on the forum that might know?

Lots of bass, but not so much loud, but clean and deep. I wanted to do two amps (mono and 4 channel). I was thinking about 2 10" - one in each corner with fiberglass enclosures; the amps in a box under the top. That way I can make the most of the contiguous space; I really just need to get a carry-on suitcase back there for traveling.
Ever seen anything like this?

If you take a look in my photos I've done what you want only in a C4, but that's what I wanted is more space. I have 2 12" subwoofers in a box that is 10" deep, 12 1/2" tall, and 32" wide. Which is plenty of bass, I keep it turned WAY down unless i'm showing off. Using just one of those 12" subs the box would only need to be half that size so you can make it real flat against the back wall like 4" deep and mount your amps on either side so you can see them and it would be tons less work. Having a new C6 you might want something fancy with fiberglass and amps in a box, then check out cajundude's posts he's doing exactly want you are talking of.

The solution, when available, will be the Stealthbox by JL Audio. It will fit in one of the bins. It is not available for the C6 yet, but I'm waiting. I also have a convertible.

Yea, much smaller bin, but brichc4's idea of the back wall is a great one. You can do 1 12" one side and mount a mono or 5 channel on the other still have the storage bins on either side. Also give you a lot of contiguous space. The C6's have some room for bass in the cabin, not sure yet what will fit in there - I think, I end up doing some components.
