Fits '97-Up Chevrolet C5 Corvettes

Installation Guide:

This Stealthbox is a product which requires professional installation skills and tools. Please read this
installation guide thoroughly before beginning the project. It will guide you step by step through the
installation. Several of the steps in this process may require two people to accomplish.

It is absolutely vital that the enclosure be properly mounted to the vehicle according to these instruc­tions. Failure to mount the enclosure properly presents two problems: 1) The sub-bass performance
will suffer due to the movement of the enclosure caused by the force exerted by the woofer and 2) A
loose enclosure presents a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision or sudden deceleration.

STEP 1: Remove the cargo cover in the rear hatch area and
cut the carpet so that it goes down into the well approximately
2". No carpet should be left in the bottom or on the sides
(except for the 2" at the top) of the well.

STEP 2: Remove the brackets located on each side of the
cargo well. These will be re-installed later and used to secure
the Stealthbox
