C5 Subwoofer Box
A freind of mine who owns a high end car a/v shop wanted to put a sub in my C5. I said why not... He custom made the box to fit the center trunk storage box and it looks factory with a woofer in it. It Sounds Great and looks great.
If anyone is interested in getting this done he is charging $200 for the box, rather than the $500 charged by other speaker comanies.
He is located in OKC.
Let me know if anyone is interested...

But on another note, what size sub did you get put in? Im thinking about one 12 since I already have the sub and amp but I dont know how much rattling it would have.

I was in the same boat.. I had the sub and amp too. I put a 10" in there but he will cut the center for whatever you want... 10, 12, 15??? or 2x10's
This guy has done all my cars in the past and done excellent work...

Local high end shop wanted $400 to build an MDF box. Regular stereo shops do charge that much for basic wood stuff like that!

I built this one with my son, and he has turned down an offer at $600 for it (fits for 2 - 10's). First attempt at building a Fiberglass top/front - leather covered sides, back, bottom
What a huge amount of work laying up 6 layers, sanding, 2 basecoat, 3 clearcoat layers.

I have a similar setup in my coupe, but the box fits under the center cover. I know the sound may not be as good but I like the stock look and I can always take the lid off. If your friend does good work and you trust him, the price is secondary. I paid less for mine and am happy with it.
