Default Subwoofer Speaker Box

Has anyone purchased or built a speaker box to fit in the rear compartment to accomodate a sub?

Where did you mount the amp? Does the OEM lid still fit?

Please post some details and pics!f

Try www.subthump.com. They make custom sub enclosures for the rear compartment.

Default C5 Fiberglass Sealed Corvette Sub-Box from TP Performance!

I had TP Performance in Orlando, Florida build me a Great Sealed Fiberglass Box! Sound is out of this world in our C5s!

I took second place in the last car show I was in with the set up and did not loose any HP (weight to HP ratio)! The Fiberglass box weighs very little, thus I did not loose any HP due to the weight... unlike those HP robbing heavy wood boxes!

Anthony (the owner of TP Performance) charged me $350 for my custome box plus shipping... Plus, the guy who built it (Anthony) also ownes a C5 corvette and he does lots of racing so weight is important to him!

Email Him at: tpperformance@juno.com or

through his My Space I hope this works... LOL (Cut and Paste it the following link):

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...f-f3b9c7ba8cdf

I can't remember his phone number but I will email him and get it again so you all can call him if you are interested in his boxes... I will post some pictures of my box so you can see what they look like... He made it so I can still store my top in the back in its original storage...

Here is a picture of my Box: http://www.ringo.com/photos/photo.ht...toId=229222426

Thanks,

Roger

They can also hook you up with a metal lid with holes to replace the stocker. That's what I'm running.

I got my sound system w/TV from Precision Soundwork in Allentown, PA. They did a great work. They didn't place subs in the trunk but instead they built a "department" separating trunk and installed a set there. Actually 2 subs + mid + tweeters were installed to that box + all original speakers to doors and walls were replaced = great result.
Sound is dolby 5.1 whenever I'm watching movies...

Purchased on ebay. Gave the cutout dimensions for the subwoofer. Great fit and carpet match. Also lifts right out when going to the track.

Had mine built but just pulled it out and it got soaked in the rain and swelled like crazy. Glad to get rid of that extra weight, 160 pounds in all

Thanks! I love it! I replaced all of the original speakers with Alpine Speakers (Components in the front and regular Alpine Speakers in the back). The Alpine Amp is behind the Driver's Seat and the MTX Sub Amp is behind the Driver's Seat... 2 12" MTX Subs in the custome box. The Sterio is a 2 Bin Radio with a DVD Player... The Screen Pops out... Very nice system. Anthony put it all in the car... I was told by other so call installers it could not be done... He put a 2 Bin radio into a 1 1/2 bin hole!

Roger
