Default 6 inch subs

Is it possible to put 6 inch subs where the stock rear speakers are in a C5?

Maybe, but it would be more work to seal the enclosures than its worth. Depth might be an issue on the drivers side too.

Default Focal 5WS

Might try using the Focal 5WS ( 5.25" ) sub in there. I managed to showhorn one of those in a .5 cu/ft sealed enclosure in the front doors of my G35 & it did well ( I crossed it over as midbass ). I've been out of the 12V community for a few years now & I'm not sure if Focal even makes the 5WS anymore ( but there's always FleaBay!! ). Good luck & keep us informed w/what ya end up doing.

So the 5 in. sub would still have to be in a enclosure? I thought it could just be mounted in the place of the stock rear speaker.

Yes, it would still require an enclosure to operate properly.
