Well that depends, what size subs? How many? If you don't need trunk space I would recommend this http://cgi.ebay.com/CAMARO-FIREBIRD-...#ht_2788wt_905 It's what I have and it works good.

Many of have done it, you can either build one or buy one you can find the dimension in the sticky that says Dimensions for sub well box.

Here's my sub box, excuse the ugly carpet and the tan rear seat as I'm in the process of putting new carpet in and completing my beachwood to black interior conversion.

Re: How to fit subs in my car??

Thanks for all the ideas guys. I have actually decided to create my own custom box. I going to outfit it with mirrors and transitional LED's. With Plexiglass on top to see the lights.
