Default Subwoofer install?

I have a 12 inch sub and amp in one of my cars and would really like to put it in the Vette.

The problem is I can't really imagine the roof fitting in the trunk if there is a sub there. I've thought about mounting it in where the cd changer is now and relocating the cd changer.

Is this the only solution? Does anyone have a sub in their coupe with room for the roof panel? Pics?

I have a 10" Alpine sub in the middle storage area of my coupe. The amp is mounted vertically on the back wall (sort of behind the license plate). The targa top fits fine. I even have the original storage area cover over the sub and it sounds fine.
Try posting your question in the audio/electronics section for more and probably better answers.

I've read most of them. Guess I just missed that part.

Built my own box and put them in the middle storage compartment. Make sure you buy a grill or things will be rattling off that sub.
