Subwoofer for C6

Does anyone know if there are any subwoofers out there that can replace the existing Bose 8" woofers in the doors (1SB)? I'm thinking about getting some subs but I don't want a box in the trunk. Or maybe ones that might fight in the trunk storage compartments???

THanks

Blaupunkt's 10" subs, ODw1000, are not $500 a pop but $200 apiece at Crutchfields. I've been told that the available door space is less than 5".

You have a mere 70mm clearance from the frame flange to the window assembly

There is also the LS102 10" sub by CriticalMass for shallow mounting.

In the doors? If so, does your door panel rattle from the bass?

I also have the SWS10's, only $200 apiece, not $500. The door does not "rattle" but it will buzz a little if you really have the bass cranked up. Leave it at "moderate" levels, like I do, no real door issues.

Good luck.
