Install 90% done Pictures so far
http://bill.lintons.us/Corvette/Ster...all/stereo.htm
This is the first stereo install Ive done in 20 years, was far more
of a PITA than i expected, though the things I thought would
be hard where not. Still need to get the amp box covered
and my Crossbar/harnessbar reinstalled. The stealth box
turned out to be a near flush mount since the B-quiet I installed
kept the stealth box from going any further down.
Parts installed
Alpine CDA-9833
Vrumvrum HU mount
Sirus Satilite decoder box & antenna
Kenwood KCA-7202 2x150w @ 4 ohm Amp
Infinity 7520a 280w bridged @ 4 ohm amp for sub
MB Quart Reference RCE 216 component door speakers
Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1 in Subthump enclosure
Lightning Audio 1Farad Cap
System sounds awesome, has way more power than I'll probably ever use, but better to have too much than not enough =).

Nice Install!! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the install kit for the HU(the black piece holding the radio)? I'm doing my install now, but the kit I am using won't let the center console piece sit flush with rest of the dash.

thanks for the updated pics. I missed the Infinity part on my first reply. How do you like the Infinity amp so far?? I'm thinking of replacing my JBL amps (I want to use the JBL amps in my red Talon TsiAWD) with the new Infinitys. They had a great review in the car audio magazine I read, but I haven't met anyone who uses them.
By the way, good choice on the sub
