For a 75 Vette, you might find it difficult to install. If you can get pass the wheel humps it will work.

that picture of it is in a 78-82 the only difference is the back glass. Im just looking for options as i am tired of having the 2 boxes in there and fiqure if i can get some more room and a better sound out of the subs why not make a new box. Thanks for the reply

Look twice, think thrice, 1 splice/ 1 slice!
This is a phrase i came up with and something i will now live by.
