More details needed.. Trying to add speakers or replace existing, or both? What kind of budget to you have? Are you wanting to sacrifice your rear cargo area? Are you going to install/tune yourself or going to have a shop do it?

I think I want to upgrade all the speakers but not disrupt the stock look of the interior. Would not be against using a low profile subwoofer box on the rear floor. From what I understand, I need to purchase an interface module and its only made by PAC? Would like to do the work myself but probably should get some professional help. My daily drivers are always new, latest vehicles and the sound system in the 2014 Corvette leaves a lot to be desired. I am hoping to keep the budget around $3000/$3500

The 5th link above is my project to tackle same thing you're looking for. All the links are loaded with good info. I list the speakers I used. It's a speaker upgrade only, kept OE amplified woofer in back. Generally, not difficult to do just time consuming. Will take some cutting/splicing of the end connectors. Results were night and day in my opinion. No regrets! Crutchfield is a good source for speakers and misc parts and tools you'll need to make life easier. Good luck...

On our 2017 2LT;
Sitting still with the engine idling, the sound system is great.
Driving 30 mph it's uh, "ok".
Driving 60 mph, it's crummy.
Driving 90 mph, it's just noise and no music.
Reducing ambient noise is not cheap or easy, but that's what I'd do first.
