Does anyone make a discreet subwoofer box for the Vectra C hatch ?

Does anyone make one of them hidden subwoofer type boxes that fits up against the side of the boot in a Vec?

Not that I know of, but I'm sure I've seen some pics somewhere on this forum of a homemade box in the storage compartment to the righthand side of the boot - I'll see if I can find it.

In anycase, it should be pretty easy to make one to suit.

Take a look at this thread, they guy is makng a homemade box.

TBH though, there are so many options of Sub Boxes on the market out there, i would have thought you could find one to suit your needs.

AutoAcoustics are looking for donor cars to make a Stealthbox for the C - I had one on a Puma & it was the Muts

Sorry, it was for an estate and not a hatch, but may give you an idea or two...

Firstly I think you would need an newer type right hand cubby hole boot panel, my 53 plate has a proper storage bit behind the little door but my old mans 55 plate just has the door and a large void, so I just swapped them as same cloth in all vec boots (pre facelift at least). I had a really good look around last year and found nothing. You could try doing it yourself though.
This is as far as I got. I just stripped an old active Vibe box, used its own amp and 10 inch sub.




Now this adds no real heavy thump but just adds a little to the standard set up. Someone with more experience could take it a stage further and turn it into a shallow box but a sub would have to be matched.
Others have found that a small active sub like the ones from Alpine do a good job and it fits into the cubby no probs.
There is nothing stopping you loosing the hole side panel though and putting a proper box in there and making your own panel face and carpet yourself, you would loose some boot space but could work.

does that setup not cause vibration due to the panel infront of it?

Looks like a good idea though, well done

Was just going to ask the same question!

Does look the nuts though!

When I finished it I just plastered the inside of it all in Roof flashing, its just like Dynomat but thinner and much cheaper. If I run it louder I just open the cubby door.
