C6 Show Me Your Subs
Hello
Just got a 2010 GS and I can tell you this stereo is the first thing I will be replacing. In my 2004 Z06 I had a killer setup but I am looking for pics of amp and subs setup in a C6 coupe. Sorry Convert will not work although if you like post on always like see a good system.
Thanks

I have a JL Stealthbox along with all new gear in mine. Pulled out bose and installed all JL speakers front and rear with a Kenwood H/U controlling everything. Sounds great. The Stealthbox is a really nice piece that comes with JL R&D and quality. Its lightweight and has the perfect amount of interior volume w/o taking up to much room. A 300/2v2 powers it.I like it alot.

Old one is full size 10" sub and HiFonics 5-channel amp. Current version is shallow 12" sub and class-D Kenwood 5-channel amp. Glass top is easily stored with both.
Prior setup (currently sitting in my house without amp or sub):
Current setup (one of these days I'll be adding three dowel rods above the amp to act as a makeshift luggage rack).

I think the stealthbox is a good idea. I decided the best way is to have the subs all the way to the back facing up and slightly forward. I ended up with this. Though this way you can only have 10 inch woofers and still store your roof.

Mine is completely stealth - 8" in the left side cubby. Since these pictures I added another 3/4 inch MDF plate that I cut so it is just a frame giving the "Box" a bit more depth and giving me just a touch more low end. I used an old audiophile trick by putting in a little Polyfill to add some depth to the sound. Sounds great, and literally takes up no space. I also made a cover for it with matching carpeting, so when you look in the hatch area, you have no idea anything is different.
My amp is mounted in the hatch area with a cover over it like slief, only mine has punched(perforated) metal opening for some air circulation on top. I am going to get an Alpine PDX amp and pull the Blose out and put it in there.

My shallow 12" sounds just as good if not better than the 'normal' 10" that I had, but it is getting 350wRMS compared to only 200wRMS that the 10" had.

I saw your car at Freedom Chevrolet not too long ago when I took my GS to get serviced. Who did your install? I'm looking for someone I can trust in SA to do something a bit less radical in the near future.

Beware of freedom chevy as they messed my car up 2 different times. As for my install, it was done at custom sounds on san pedro. They did a nice job, though they werent always very professional. It wasnt a bad experience or anything either, id consider using them again. Not sure if there is anyone else who would be better to deal with.

I'm curious.... what did they mess up on your car?
The service advisor was really cool, and bragged about how Freedom Chevy sponsors the local Corvette Club .
Thanks again for responding.

MTX sound
MTX sound system with 2 12" subs, 2 caps, and 2 amps. Around 10,000 Watts of power! It is very loud and noticeable. The system sets off many car alarms.
I dont know how to post pictures in this reply but here are the links to look at my sound system
