C6 Door Speaker Replacements
Those of you that have replaced your C6 lower door speakers with a 10” or 8” sub which subs did you go with and are you happy with them. I know that’s not the best option for sub location but I would prefer to keep things simple and not use space in the back.

I replace both my lower door speakers and my rear speakers on my GS ... But, in my opinion, installing a sub woofer in the door is not a very good idea at all.
In my case, I purchased a sub box that fits into either of the rear cubby holes. This sub box enclosure can be purchased to fit either an 8" or a 10" woofer.
This woofer location does not get in the way of anything in the rear, and don't take up any space. The other nice thing about it is that it looks like it came that way from the factory ... even the carpeting matches perfectly.

I did my audio upgrade on my 2011 GS when the car was new (7 years ago), but I just called VetteNuts and was told that the design of this sub box is still exactly the same as it was when I purchased mine ... However, I see that the price has increased quite a bit since I bought mine.
