Custom Sub enclosures designed for our new Camaro?
Hey guys, im not going to spring for the MTX sub dealer accessory. But I want a decent sub in the trunk to add a little punch to the music.
Im curious if anyone knows a company that may already be making prototypes of custom enclosures for the purpose of saving space in the trunk. Im thinking that the best place for a sub is in the rear most (closest to the bumper) and passenger side corner of the trunk. It'd be nice to save as much usable space in the trunk as possible, but still have a extra umph for the stereo. Any ideas?

Here's some info on the "Thunderform" enclosure that MTX makes for mustangs, looks like the best idea I've seen so far. I sent MTX an email asking them if they're planning on making an enclosure for the new Camaro.

i'm sure some company will come out with one fairly soon, but i do know that for the best sound you need to have the sub facing the rear of the car, backed up against the rear seat. also for a single sub in a sealed enclosure its not really that big and should fit nicely in the back(closest to cabin) corner, so you can use a typical mdf box

The owner has posted information as to the status for new Gen5 enclosures to come. They're a great company and the prices are dead on, my box ran about $300 shipped.

UPDATE. MTX has stated via email to me that they will ONLY be making the factory accessory enclosure "custom" for the 5th Gen Camaro. So basically, no Thunderform single sub enclosure. Quoted email below.
MTX, I have been a fan of your Thunderform vehicle specific enclosures for a while. I am soon to purchase the new 2010 Camaro SS and im curious if you guys are developing a Thunderform setup for the new Camaro? I hope you will consider at least looking into the possibility. The new Camaro comes with a pretty oddly shaped and sized trunk, so for those wanting to save as much space as possible while still adding a subwoofer will be extremely limited on what they can do. And I believe your thunderform product would be an easy sell to a new Camaro owner that didnt want to give up most of his trunk space. Thanks, Jesse Their response mtx is working with chevy, and has designed an enclosure specifically for the 2010 camaro, sold exclusively at the chevy dealerships. you can request one for your vehicle at the time of purchase. Side note: JL Audio also makes "Stealth" boxes, they are top notch, and carry a top notch price... but their site doesnt list any intentions for the 2010 camaro.

Anytime, All my Camaro buddies use the ******** boxes and have never heard a single complaint. A friend at work just got the 10w7 box for his Corvette and it sounds unfrickin' real. Sounds like he's runnig 2 12's instead of the singe JL 10w7.

I have had many subs but JL audio is the best for sound quality and space savings. I will be putting a 12w6v2 in my camaro when I get it. If your looking for space saving look at the JL tw5 a 13.5 inch sub that is only 2.5 inches thick and only needs .8 cubic feet for a enclosure. I have seen only the internet that people have put these subs on the ceiling to save space.
