Default Subs in rear C5 pockets ?

So I have a set of 10" Subs and a 500 watt Amp, I was wondering if the subs would fit in the rear corner hatches and put the Amp in the center hatch, has anyone mastered this and are pre fabbed boxes available for the corners ?

Not sure about the exact sizes, but yes, people put a sub in one compartment and an amp in the other. I did it in my C5. Surprisingly, I did not have heat issues with the amp.

Just be careful about drilling in that area.

You'd probably be better off mounting the amp on the rear wall (if it's too big for a small tub), and mounting both subs in a single box in the center tub. DIY box plans are HERE

Yes, two 10" subs can fit in the center.

Very sweet,
Curious, did you center divide the box to separate the air flow from the two subs?

Also what if anything will be needed to hook up the sound to the amp, will RCAs plug into Stock Head Unit or do I need a Adapter ?

thanks!
