I am sure it is doable for the right $$$, and depending upon how much rear hatch space you are willing to give up, and what your goals are for the bass. They are certainly well regarded subs, but require good sized enclosures to perform correctly, and a cheap sub in the right box will outperform a great sub in a bad box all day long.

Talk to some of the C6 enclosure guys here on the forums and I am sure they can help you figure something out.

Would they fit? Yes, kinda.

According to the FI site, the 12" BTL sub has an RMS of 2000w and a needs a ported box of 1.75 - 3.0 cu/ft. They do not recommend using a sealed box. They have an MSRP of $364/ea.

Since you are looking at using two, that means 4000w, 3.5 - 6 cu/ft of box, and $728 just for the subs. You probably would need to upgrade your alternator and/or add another battery just for an amp that size.

I do not think there would be much space left for anything else.

A little overkill for such a small interior. Plus, these could make your ears bleed and really **** off everyone around you.

I am not into car shaking, ear bleeding bass, so this is not the sub I would use, but it is your car, have fun.

The way I see it is If you drive a corvette, dont put anything less than the best in it or on it! If anyone has a picture of a hatch that needs the similar airspace please send them to me TIA.
