Default C7 Upgrade Question

I am getting a C7 Z06. My 13 GS had head unit and speakers upgraded. I understand that is difficult on the C7. Is dual JL subwoofer good with the stock Bose system? How does it sound with the system? Thanks

not difficult at all. Do you have a 1LT?
Depending on your listening preferences, adding dual subs and amp while maintaining the rest of the system stock will be just too much bass for most folks..

Single 10 and a 250 - 500 watt amp would be fine.
get box and harness from this guy...

better than stock- replace bose sub
Much better - replace sub and add micro sub amp. ~ 250 Watts
pounding- single 10 inch in corner with an amp
Blow your ears - dual 10 or 12 with big amp ( recommend also DSP, other amps full speaker upgrades. )
