These will work. They play up to 250hz, so not much midrange. So make sure you get a good set of mids for the upper door.

Dont the 10" bose speakers come with an integrated amp on the speakers itself? would you not have to provide an amp to drive these then?

early model C6 had the setup you describe. Bose went with separate amp from 08, maybe 07 and up.

I am running Morel ADM9 9" midbass with an adapter plate. Sounds amazing but i am running an amp so not sure if the factory amp would be enough to drive them or not

The "tech" at Crutchfield told me that the Rockford-Fosgate-R2SD2-10 were not shallow enough to fit. Do they interfere with the window glass or similar? Thanks for your help

Crutchfield's fitment guidance is not always shall we say 100% accurate.

If ​​​@VinceC5 says they will fit, they will fit.

crutchfield was right. They will interfere with the window. I tried installing them in my C6 they will have to be spaced out to clear the window. Waiting on sounds good 10 in adapters now so I can finish the install. With those I believe they will work.

So they fit, but they require adapters. This would be true of most speakers. Technically, the 6.5" speakers that many people use do not "fit" into the door space where the 8" (or 10") sub is located, but there are many people who have them there.

This is different than saying that they don't fit, period.

if you read the thread. It is stated they fit. There is no mention of adapters. Won't know if the adapters will fix the issue till they get here next week. So in my opinion. The statement made is wrong. You see things your way and I'll see them my way. 40 years as a master auto tech makes me hate half truth sentences. Unless it's stated they fit with adapters then what was stated is a half truth.
