Finally - decent sounds...C5
Visited my second most favorite place today (Unique Audio) as I had an appointment to better the Bose system in the C5 without spending huge amount of $$$$s. Installed a JL stealthbox in the rear and an amp to power it. Listening to the OEM Bose
was getting so unbearable. Just doing that is like day and night. Next is installing the Ipod2car kit from Peripheralelectronics
along with the multiple aux interface for my Ipod and XM radio. The owner of the shop has a set of Borlas that he had on his Z06 that I'll pick up and install (can you say ROAD TRIP - to Tucson).

I was going thru my decades old inventory of equipment:
How many of you remember the Fosgate PR 252? This is circa 1979 !!!! And it still works. I should donate this to the Smithsonian
How about an Audio Control System90 signal processor and crossover, early '90s? These still works too. Alpine CD shuttle/amp? Sub boxes for '82, '87, '94 vettes, Blazer, and f-bodies. They didn't have eBay back in those days.

They are durable and make some of the greatest power gains I've seen from many installs on the Forum.
LG's are also excellent, but a bit more pricey and, to me, not worth the extra $$ but an awesome header in every sense of the word.
