Rear speakers in my C3
I would like to install 6"x9" speakers in the rear. Any premade boxes, not
too big. I would like to still store my T-Tops back there. |

Just go to any stereo store and buy the speaker wedges. Speakers were like 200 dollars (JBL) and a pair of speaker wedges went for about 25 bucks. Still left lots of room for the T-tops... You CAN buy specialty made wedges for the rear of a C3 at any web based corvette parts supplier like www.corvetteamerica or www.corvettecentral but is much cheaper to just buy regular wedges ....depends what you want though Hope that was of some help....Jim |

From the outside, almost no sound escapes. I also replaced my three storage door lids with wood, and on the one behind the passenger seat, I sealed the hole and put a 10 subwoofer in it. I put a small 200 w amp in the middle compartment. I rebuilt the kicker panels with wood and put two 3-way 4x6 speakers up front. The final sound is crisp, great bass, and will blow the doors off if I want, which I don't. The speakers in the back are almost invisible, and the same goes for the ones in the kick panels. I've never liked the ones in the dash, so I didn't bother with those. I have just as much room as ever which in a C3 means pretty much enough for a necktie at best anyway. |
