I don't think that Memphis, Diamond, or RE make shallow mount woofers. Pioneer, Kicker, and Power Acoustic make some though. They aren't all that great, but they are better than nothing....

sub thump makes a c6 box fir 139.00 and i bought a rockford fosgate 10 inch shallow sub for 110 dollars so for 250 dollars you will have major bass and the box is carpeted and looks great, and you can store your top. don't pay 600.

Have you installed the JL Stealthbox and if so, did you keep the stock BOSE door speakers?... do you have any pictures... and finally... how does it sound
JL Stealth box for the C6 is what I am thinking about very hard. Planning on dropping off a deposit this week at my installer. Hope the little woman is not keeping track of my fun money. Coupled with a JL amp and the newly installed Kenwood head unit it should make me very happy.

Head unit is a Kenwood DNX6140 w/XM and iPod adapter and the speakers are Pioneer Premier TS-C720PRS. The amps are 2 JL 250/1 powering the subs and JL 300/4 bridged powering the Pioneer's. I'm not running rear speakers.
I still need to snap the side interior panels in and the amp rack has screen material to cover the vent holes that will be painted Atomic Orange this weekend.

Looks incredible.
What do you think about keeping the stock Bose and just adding a sub?

No, The subs are Rockford Fosgate P3 Shallow Mount subs. MY car is 1LT so no Bose but I gutted the whole system. Here are a couple more pics.

That would give you more bass but probably not better bass. The Bose HU is not very good IMHO. I know many people want to keep it if it is a factory NAV but honestly, the Garmin built into the Kenwood blows the factory unit away. There are little things you can do to improve the factory sound system but for me it was easier and cheaper in the long run to just gut it all. I have lost a bit of room in the hatch but I can still store my roof back there and I don't put much back there anyway.
