I'm trying to think which song would sound best through a system like that, what with Neil's drums and Geddy's bass, Limelight maybe? Of course, having a red Corvette myself, Red Barchetta comes to mind. Lest we forget Alex's killer riffs in Working Man, which we all must be to have these toys...

yeah, well I’ve been a musician for almost 40 years classic rock, so some Led Zeppelin would be good to. Even some big band music would be great. I don’t play anything in that car but I won’t play rap screw that.

Hell yeah brother!
My son loves Rush too. In addition to Classic and 90’s rock, he also listens to a lot of double bass heavy metal.

I agree with your picks, they have so many great ones.

I would add One Little Victory, Anarchist, 2112 The Temples of Syrinx…
I could go on all day.

I might be a little biased, but you can never go wrong with Rush. Natural Science, The Camera Eye, Xanadu.......

Fly By Night is one of my go-to songs when I want to crank it up. Great song, but really well mixed and loves to be played loud.

You guys are hijacking this thread. Nobody cares about your songs, I would like to hear where people have placed subwoofers and what they've put there. Have some mercy.

You’re right. Sorry. I bought a small kenwood sub and put it in the storage compartment behind the passenger seat. It works well.

As much as I like Rush, there's a long running thread in CFOT for that.

Mercy. I did post about my son’s sub choice initially.

I strongly suggest you don't do that. Please don't! It's your car, and you certainly have the right to do whatever you please....but that metal section you're thinking of cutting a large hole in is part of the birdcage and contributes to the structural integrity of the entire car. Not to mention if you ever sell the car, there will be some (myself included) who would pass on it because of this....I know there are plenty who won't care, but I just wouldn't do it.
If you would like to use one of the storage compartments for its volume to make a sub enclosure, I would design a top (lid) for it, so the sub faced straight up. Either remove the original lid system and make your own with the sub on one side and a storage lid on the other....or use both storage tubs.... one for a sub and one for the amp/s (if they fit with the battery, you can always raise the height of the lids)....the sky's the limit, I can imagine a dozen solutions that don't require making any permanent alterations! Just my $0.02 worth, I personally would not put a 8"-12" hole in my corvette for a sub-woofer....NFW!!! Good luck, whatever you decide👍

l’ve seen that. I does look great. It’s not available though. I’m sure a lot of shops could custom build one like it.

I'd say it's still worth the price. There's a lot of complex shapes back there, not just a big rectangle. I tried to find the one I bought, no luck, but looks very similar and I know I couldn't build one for $300 unless my time was only worth $10 an hour.

I built a box for (2) 10” subs and (2) 6 1/2” speakers. I had to remove the soft top but I only drive on sunny days
