I am in Decatur (about 40 mins east of Springfield). I am definitely not a tuner but would be willing to lend a hand however I can.

Here's a TTT as there might be some good tuners close by.

No problem...just give me a holler when you need help. I will be in Springfield tomorrow for the Central IL Corvette club meeting (held at Friendly's). You don't happen to go to those meetings do you?

I have only added a sub to my Vette. I am working on installing components in my truck right now (just took a break). This will be my first set of components and have left the jumper at 0 dB for the time being. I'll adjust it to taste later.

You are going to have a wicked car....Nausa Blue...hot motor...good stereo

Just remembered...you might want to see about joining us in a couple weeks for the midwest Vette audio gathering. There is a post I started that should be floating around here. Anyways, there will be some amazing cars there and some knowledgable people.

I think Greg (Pentavolvo) might be bringing some tuning equipment (or at least his ears)

That could be a good time to learn some things. I don't know if your Vette will be ready, but certainly feel free to join up even without a Vette.

I am in the NW chicago suburbs and am willing to help all. I am by no means a pro tuner but I think I have it down pretty good. I really just use a few CDs I know well and go to town on the EQ and make suggestions.

Using good CD's (and CD's you know well) really is the best way to go. Tuning equipment can make quick work of getting a system's components matched up, but ultimately you want the system sounding good to your ears.

Greg has done many installs. He'd be a good resource for ya.
