those boxes seem to fit real nice. there isn't much room there, i was wondering what are some real nice subs that'll sound good and hit hard in that small of a box? i've hat solo's, rockford t3's and many others that hit extremely hard with my bd1000 but they all had huge boxes and i know it makes a big difference with the perfect sub for a box. does anybody have any answers for me there? thanks

I've got an Elemental Design 11kv.2 Subwoofer and made the box myself. Pretty easy to build.

Online it says this box won’t fit in the c5 convertible. Do y’all know why? Is it because of the 12 disc changer in that hatch?

You do know this threat is 7+ years old. Things change, how about you start a thread and ask about current offerings.

I went with something that I can hide if needed or even remove if necessary. I kept the stock radio but upgraded all the other speakers with JL Audios except for the stock woofers in the doors. Sounds great.
