Looks interesting, I'm sure someone in the audio section will be intrigued.

I like that sub box. It's pretty much the only option if you don't want to lose your trunk space. It's just like mine but yours has a reces where the speak is. I like that better since it will protect your speaker a little bit.

Go with a JL 500/1 mono amp and a 12W3 or 12w0 This will give you better sound and will look like a respectable set up, as well as give you a lot more knock. Limit yorself to 500watts rms. I had a 13.5w7 and a 1000rms amp and almost needed a set of depends when I turned it up as I thought my back glass was going to break.

10" Kicker CVR and Kicker ZX300.1 behind the passenger seat. (note: the amp is screwed to plywood behind the carpet / no plywood ='s screwing into the gas tank!)
Agree with earlier post: doesn't take much in the small cabin of the corvette to feel like your sitting inside the sub box.
