2006-2016 Chevrolet Impala 9th Gen (2006-2013 W-body) + 10th Gen (2014-2016) — subwoofer box fitment

What we researched for this specific generation: where an enclosure actually fits, what the factory speakers are, how the factory audio is wired, and which real builds and commercial products exist for it. Confidence badges say how well each figure is sourced — this is research, not manufacturer spec.

Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.

Front doors Solid

Factory speaker size2006-2013: 5.25"/6.5"/6.75" compatible, but real mounting depth constraint of only 2.9" — not a simple plug-and-play swap. 2014-2016: 6x9" factory, compatible with same-size, 6.5", or 6.75" aftermarket.
Max mounting depth2.9 in
Known obstructions2006-2013's 2.9" depth ceiling is the binding constraint for the older generation — genuinely shallower than the 2014-2016 generation

Factory audio integration

Factory amp / premium audioBose Centerpoint Surround Sound premium 11-speaker system confirmed (Bose-equipped trims): 2.5" dash-mounted 'Twiddler' mid/high speakers, A-pillar tweeters (tight cavity), and rear-deck 6x9"+3" tweeter — a real, genuinely multi-location tweeter architecture spanning three separate spots rather than one.
Adding subs without a head-unit swapConfirmed straightforward — trunk-based builds don't touch the head unit
Head unitNo replacement needed

Trunk Solid

Real measured trunk space: 36"W x 17"H x 40"D (front and back). Fits up to 2x12" or 3x10" sealed. Builders commonly tune ported boxes deep (34-37Hz) on this platform, consistent with its historical association with deep-bass/SPL trunk builds. Custom builders (AK Audio, SubThump, Sound Off Audio) all offer generation-specific products, pricing starting around $700 for built-to-order enclosures.

Before you cut anything

Measure your own vehicle. Trim levels, factory subwoofer options, and mid-generation changes all move these numbers, and a box cut to a researched figure that does not match your truck is wasted wood. Where a badge reads Unconfirmed, treat the value as a starting point for your own measurement, not as an answer.
