I won't think that would be to hard if you could make a box that would hold them, like put it going down in the storage and over the top of the gas tank, and have one really big box with two 18" holes cut out, it would probley fit. that might work.

I know where you could put them, IN MY ELCAMINO!!! I would love to have some 18"s. It would be so cool just to look at. One thing though, until you give them to me, be careful not to break you rear hatch window!!

18's don't respond as fast as 10's or 12's so it's not as accurate. (so I've been told) It'll shake you to bits though if done right

18s are slow sloppy speakers... thats why there isnt many many people with them. They will hit hard as hell but there isnt any clear sharp bass to them its just loud sloppy bass

If you are dead set on putting your 18's in your camaro you can have some one build a box inside your car but it's a pain and I don't think that you will like the sound. I have done this in an 1983 RX7, stupid bass no quality. I agree with every one else get rid of the 18 and go to 2 - 12's or 3,4 -10's for kick ace sound.
