room for speakers???

[trixie128]

I recently upgraded from a '97 RS to a '00 Z-28. In the RS, I had a 10in base tube and my amp in the trunk/hatch with 6.5 components in the front and pioneer 6.5's in the back. NOW, I want to upgrade the stock system in my Z-28, but I don't know where to put anything. I know I will have to buy 6x9's for the back b/c my old car had 6.5's. The base-tube is out b/c I have T-tops and the place designed to hold them basically takes up the center of the trunk. Where can I put two 10in spkrs? I need my back seat, and I only see a little corner in the trunk that is empty. I have seen MANY guys w/ Camaros, w/ T-tops, w/ pretty good sounding systems. Where did they put them? Who can help me? Also, I heard from a friend that all radios(rcvrs) don't work with the controls on the steering wheel. Is there a way I can tell if my other one will work? Thanks for your help :-)

You can buy Q-logic boxes.. or design your own
They fit in that little corner on the driverside of the hatch area.. here check this out

are you talkin about 10in subs? if so just build a box to fit in the hatch, take out the t-top holder and place it there. throw the t-tops in the back seat. thats what i did for my 2 15 inch subs (well my friend built the box)
orrrrrrrrr throw them in the side slot which was already advised.... Ive heard some good things.

bump. this is what i did in my camaro. I got no t-tops though so i didn't need the trunk so bad. If you need pics of my install just checkout my site in my sig below, its got pics of how my subs are set up and sitting in my trunk.

lol.... yea what he said

Genospyde:Bwahahaha! I WISH I needed space for a blower!!!

bigmike: the boxes at subthump.com is WAY SEXY!

That's exactly what I want. BUT, I don't understand how it works. Does it flip up and down or what? I thought the stock flap just sits on the plastic trim. How does it hold up like 20 lbs? So would I need to get a rear wall amp mount, or do I put it somewhere else? THANKS so much for your help everyone! I didn't even know they made these!!!

hmmm i dont think they will flip up and down...like the one with the slot for the t-tops--if they could just flip up and down then there wouldnt be a slot in the box for the tops...right? maybe they do though? you can put your amp where ever

[trixie128]

My Bad! I didn't go by the link. I meant the MILHOUSE BOX. It's from the same site, just one up on the vehicle specific menu. It says it flips up, but I don't see how...isn't it heavy???? It looks so great though. THAT is what I want.

I feel your pain. I thought about this problem as soon as I bought my car. I lived with the Monsoon for a little while, but, I do need to go bigger. Plus I DO NOT want to have to put the T-tops in the back seat. I did A LOT of reasearch and I'm going with Blaupunkt speakers. They have a mounting depth of 2". So I'm going to make a custom box out of polycarbonate and mount them on the shelf behind the back seat. I did the measuring and it should work out nicely. If your interested, check out this link.
