Subwoofer For The Corvette

After installing the new gauges for my car, I ran into a small problem: I had ran out of parts to install. Sure there were some jobs like fixing the paint in my door still or fixing the spare tire tray but they were far from critical or impossible to do in a cold garage. I did order a new window motor to the passenger door and a new headlight switch but I wasn't sure when they would arrive. So I decided that I would install a subwoofer to the Corvette while waiting...

I didn't really want to spend that much money to it as listening to the radio wasn't the main point of the car. So I surfed a few auction sites and found an used amplifier and subwoofer set. I was mostly interested in the amplifier as I already had one unused subwoofer element but getting everything for the same price was a good deal. I also went out and bought a wiring kit.


The amplifier was a SPL Dynamics MT-502 and the element a SPL Dynamics V-10S. Pretty basic stuff but enough for me. I was thinking about building a case to the passenger side trunk compartment. I measured it and the maximum case size there would be about 15 liters. Let's see how it goes.
