I've made my own in a variety of ways. This is my current setup. It fits perfectly in the well, fires upward, and makes A LOT of noise. I spring for the bass control ****, too. Totally worth it!

if you google "82 camaro subwoofer box" there are quite a few places where you can buy a pre-manufactured box specifically made the fit in the rear well.

Just bought a dual 12" carpeted enclosure for my 1991 RS from them. Great quality and fits like a glove.

Given the tight area on the passenger rear area, I think you might struggls to get that kit to work. Below is a link to the hidden sub and amp install I did last year. I hadto cut the slare tire mounting bracket for it to fit. Best pics of sub construction in post #2.

Hope this helps.

Re: Does anyone make subwoofer boxes for the trunk well area anymore?

Does anyone use the "factory" subwoofer boxes anymore? You know, the ones that slide into the B-Pillar locations? They won't give you earth-shattering sounds, but there are some very decent "subwoofers" that can and will fit into that mid-range speaker size. I have a couple of those in my attic that I saved from a "Performance Sound" optioned car in the junkyard years ago.

Placement and displacement ruin the a pillars for speaker/subwoofer install.

Skar Audio has a single 8” sub prefab that fits in the “real” trunk, don’t buy it from the link, it’s available elsewhere for much less.

Amazon Amazon

Alpine has their 10” tube woofer that would test the dimensions of the “real” trunk, possibly too cosy.
