1997-2004 Chevy Corvette Sub Box C5 Sealed

­The Chevy Corvette C5 has great style and performance, but it is lacking in the stereo department, and can stand for a serious upgrade over the dated Bose System. With the limited space in these sports cars, we wanted to keep the cargo area open and the weight of the system low. So we made a fiberglass mold of the cargo bin to fit the box in this odd space. Made from mostly fiberglass with a Birch Plywood top, the box is super light and strong as can be. Plus, the stock cargo floor can still fit in it’s place, keeping everything hidden and out of sight. Super clean, and sounding good.

This box is made out of 3/4″ Birch Plywood for the top, with the subs recessed to clear the lip, and the rest of the box is made from fiberglass to take shape of the cargo bin and take advantage of all the airspace that is available in the bin. The top of the box is the only part that is carpeted, since it is the only part visible. We don’t supply our typical speaker terminal because of the fiberglass, it is murder on hole saws. So we just drill the side and seal a length of wire through the passenger side of the box. Then you can attach your own wiring to it for your amplifier.

This design fits in all C5 Corvettes, from 1997-2004, Coupe or Convertible. The cargo bin is the same in all of them. The stock carpet stays in place, but the factory CD Changer does need to be removed.

The box is 1.1cuft of airspace and will allow 8s or 10s up to 6″ deep and a 12 up to 5″ deep. The magnets for 12s get in the way of fitting really deep 12s, so shallow subs may be the best way to go with 12s.

This is a sealed subwoofer box. A sealed subwoofer box has a tight and punchy bass that is more articulate and more true to the music with a more natural sound. For customers who want louder deeper bass with the lower bass more pronounced, a ported box is what you want. Because of the ported design, the bass will not be as tight and punchy, but there is double the bass of a sealed box with the same subs. If big bass is what you want then our ported box will be what you want.
