Default c5 small compartments...

This is something Ive been wondering... Maybe the audio gurus can help me out here... I would like to take those two covers off of the side compartments in the back. I know on the left side that there is an amp (I think). Can that be relocated?? Becuase if so...I think I COULDD put 2 8's in those little slots.... What do yall think....???

Go for it! Do a search and you'll find a person or two that mads some fiberglass boxes that sit in the compartment spaces. There shouldn't be an amp in either one.

The thing that looks like an amp is the computer for the suspension system. Look at the connectors... not sure how it could be moved!

I have tinkered with the side compartment boxes and actually made a fiberglass box for one side ( although not finished ), but the airspace you will have will be very minimal. I was going to use some Diamond Audio 8's. I haven't had time to complete them yet as they still lack the tops, but unless you bring them up from the floor a little there will be little airspace to work with. It can be done sitting flush with the floor, but only a few subs will work in this small space. I am still working with the ones I have and hope to have them done within the next couple of months. I will be using the center compartment which has a 10" along with the 8's in the side compartments. Heres hopefully what it will look like,lol.
