Subwoofer box for C5 behind the seats
Hi all just wanted to check and see if anyone on the forum has built a box or someway somehow have placed a pair of aftermarket subwoofers behind the seats of their vette. Planning on adding a pair pf either 10’s or if the budget lines up 12’s but since my corvette is a convertible I don’t want the output of these to be distorted pr muffled somehow whenever i decide to put the ragtop down.If any of you guys have done something like this if you could either show me or tell how you went ahead and made it work i would really really appreciate it haha. Pictures if available would be greatly appreciated also, TIA to anyone who replies to this thread.

Not that it’s much help, but I built one for my C6 that fit into the space the rear speakers were originally in. The largest speakers I could use however were the Kicker 8” Solo-baric square subwoofers, and it sounds really good. Don’t know if it’s possible to do the same thing in a C5 as I’ve never looked closely at one.

I hadn’t thought of something like this honestly, looks like it might work on my c5 since I believe it has the same amount of clearance, whats the measurements on the box? Also, had you tried putting the sub in the trunk or did you come to the same conclusion on the distortion and muffling? Thanks for the help btw
