Hey, no problem and I didn't mean to step on your toes there. I found it very helpful and I'd like to thank you for taking the time to put it up and help all of us! I have a '01 Z06 and plan on replacing the stock speakers with Alpine SPS 080a/130a's once the weather clears! My only dilemma is where to go from there. I have the COR-HAR and AUX-10 for my IPOD and frankly don't need all the other options found in a new HU. I do listen to rock and roll and like it not necessarily booming loud, but with a little intensity behind it. With the myriad of amplifiers and subwoofers, bazooka tubes and everything else out there, I spend a lot of time on this site reading people's posts on what they're doing. Any advice would be appreciated!

you always want to run new wiring. The Bose is sufficient for the Bose crap
