I'm 5 10 and I don't see how you would fit them behind the seats on a C6. You do mean in the cab and not in the hatch behind?

I looked at the space behind my seat lastnight and I only see about 3 inches MAX between the firewall and the back of the seat -- depends on the angle of your seat back but as I have mine it's about 3.

So you want to put four 13" subs into a C6

That's a bit much IMHO. Most people seem more than satisfied with one 10" in such a small cabin, but if you're not 'most people', try starting out with just two of the stealth boxes in the back and you could always add more later.

4 13" subs in a vette? Going for a new SPL record are you? Why not just use a few of these?

Take a day and go up to Corvettes at Carlisle, I'm sure you'll see lots of different options, and I'd guess that many would even let you listen as well.

Buy a tactile transducer if you want to "feel" the bass.

Before I had good subs at home I had a couple of these attached to my sofa. Of course I was a lot younger then.

I have 1 10w6v2 in my vert with a 500/1 going to it and its way more than I can even use in my car, I have to turn the sub down most of the time. A coupe would hit even harder than a vert because of the back glass and all.

I love some hard hitting bass, but would never see the need for more than 2 10's in a vette unless it was for a show car.
