Default sub woofer ?'s

I want to put the sub and the stealth box in my Z06 and i was wondering if that affected the drivabilaty of the car since the Z06 is made to be light and then i would be adding like 50 pounds of sub and wood in the back behind the tires. Any input please!!

It depends on what do you wanna do with your car. I have sub on mine and its no big deal. What is a few lbs. if you want a nice sounds. If you worried about the weights, its your choice.

Adding a box will not be extemely noticable since it can not be big. I am sure some will notice a difference. To me it is worth the added weight. I went with 2 10's and replaced my head unit and my factory speakers.

It's not only static weight but where that weight is located, the passenger is located in a very good spot, your sub and amp will be in the extreme rear of the car. I was thinking of doing what you're doing and I was going to make the sub and amp removable for auto-x etc.

FYI: I got my box from Mike who frequents the board. Top notch and a pleasure to deal with. Here is a link to his page http://www.geocities.com/mikec5vert/
