So I have a 1990 C4 Corvette and a 15" sub and I'm wondering if it would work to put the sub in. I know people usually put subs in the trunks of their car but I've also seen them in backseats... Basically here are some pictures of where it would go and the spacing away from where people would sit.

Also, would there be any problems with like how close people would be sitting (I mean obviously it would be loud but why else buy a sub...)

EDIT: To clarify, I'm basically asking, will it work to put subs in here and will it be stupid to do so? Also what, if any, problems would there be if I put subs in there?

As long as you can tie it down safely

Anything can be done

Have you thought about removing the rear seat

And building it into the void

It selling the 15 and investing in some 10's or 12's

Do it, just secure it, dont want it to be sliding around like stated above

the only real problem besides safety is rattle. you will have to up fire unless you build a "pony" wall. if you do up fire port to the rear of the car.

what sub and amp will you be using? you would be better getting 2 10s in that space but lets see what your using first?

jvc deck

stinger 1800 front

hc 2000 kinetic rear

2 runs of 1/0g

big 3/4

ct 60.4

2 ct 1400.1

ct EXO 15 d1

lots of deadner

type r comps front stage

6 kicker tweets rear stage

lots of great stuff

coming soon

ho alt

more bats

ct comps for front stage

more deadner

sweet amp rack

lots of L.E.D lights

new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)

I'm not the guy to tell anyone not to get a 15! i mean a sundown X on 2,500w pony walled would slam. but if your running a kicker comp on 500w then yes id go with 2 10s with subs and port facing rear bumper.

like everyone is saying so far, smaller subs are better. You'd be too close to the 15" to really appreciate it. 2 solo baric 10's rounds would go perfect in that area, firing up off the glass with provide some clean bass response.

And what makes you recommend Kicker of all things?

Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do that
I can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows

came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream.

oh lawd.
