Default c-3 rear speaker boxes

if anyone is looking for a prefabed speaker enclosure for the c-3 i found them by accident at brightstar car audio. i have no ties to the company and have never seen one in person but they look to have a very easy to install unit with several options. i hope i am not violating any rules here. if i am, please lock the thread and let me know. just wanting to pass on some helpful info for someone looking for something like this.

Tomorrow I install the amps and off we go!

Ok speakers and amps are in.
Amps are mounted in storage area where jack goes...hope I dont get a flat!

Nice job.

Watch out for heat from the amp. Depending what you have they get pretty hot. Make sure you have some form of ventilation in the storage box.
