First of all, I want to give a shout out to CF members TorchRedFred, Pb82Ronin, Racebum, and UmCanesZ06for advice given. It has been a long road getting my system together since being ripped off from DD mods a year ago! I ordered a system package and only receiving the sub and sub box. TorchRedFred started out with the same system package I was supposed to receive and over time he made changes to his system, which made me hesitant to use the sub and box received.

I have a full size single 12-inch sub in my C5, and I also wondered if I would be satisfied with the sound of a shallow sub. I/we were both concerned about space and wanted minimum footprint but quality sound. I also had a wind restrictor in the rear hatch area I did not want to get rid of since it was custom. DD mods sub box was small enough for both without taking up a lot of room.

Reaching out to others above who responded to my questions and using their advice, I started leaning toward a fullsize sub, what brand, and size speakers to use in the front and rear.

I had my mind made up which way I was going to go, and then UmcanesZo6 advertised his system for sale, which I could not pass up! (Yes, bought without hearing first!)

When I finally got home from deployment, I checked out the system received and found out the sub box he had custom made for the center hatch did not fit mine! (seepics). I don’t know when Chevy changed the rear center hatch area on the C6 but you can see mine is flat and not inverted.

I was going to do the work myself, (I did my C5 system myself back in day but my skills were limited to building a box myself.)

I went to one of the recommended stereo shops closest to me

with everything to include both sub boxes to see what they recommended as we talked it over.

Well, I ended up ditching both sub boxes and them making a custom ported down firing box to include the amps, and wind restrictor plexiglas inscription which lights up.

The workmanship, and sound is incredible! I am extremely happy! A huge shout out to House Of Sound of Houston for doing quality work!



Here is the list of components of my system:

Alpine ILX 207 (chose this one because pre-out was 4v vs2v on the ILX 107)

Alpine KCX-C250MC multi-camera interface

2 Pyle PLCM38FRV cameras front/rear

Hertz HCP 2 amp for rear

Hertz HDP4 1st version which now is the ML4 for front and sub

Hertz MPK165P Pro front speakers

Audison prima APX5 rear speakers

Sundown SA-10 d2 sub
