Good deal, look forward to reading it!

I will be doing the same sort of thing this weekend with my C6 install. Replacing the speakers in the doors and behind the headrests (Vert), new amp and JL Cleansweep utilizing the factory NAV.

Penta....great idea to take these pics and post them. Looking forward to seeing it. Plus this is a neat way to gather ideas for my own use.

And yes, I agree with DPG....

I don't have any pics of it yet. I don't have a digital camera either. I can take a pic with my camera phone tonight and send it to you. That might work...

Sweet deal...if we can make this thing work, I can take pics out the ying yang.

I spend too much money on Audio and not enough on digital cameras...ok, so none on digital cameras. I just finished up my truck install last week and so now I can maybe save some money towards a camera.

I guess there is always Christmas. Wiz, I'll send you my paypal account. And if you could add a zero or two after the 5 but before the ".", I'd appreciate it.

On a sidenote I was beating the hell out of the 16ov today listenin to some Lil Jon had to be close to 1000watts goin into it and at a light what rolls up next to me some old dude in a 06 Z06 damn it looked good he didnt like my lil jon though he gave me a dirty look and rolled up the windows. When the light turned green i pulled out WOT in the mustang and he stalled hehehehe. Mustang beat Z06

That sounds like a great idea. It could help some of us that are lacking in the audio knowledge to get in there and maybe do it ourselves. Is this going to be a high-end install or mid-range ($$)?

Mid to high end, JL amps, JL sub, Focal components. Its all the same for an install though it all goes together the same.

Yeah im pretty damn sure I got lucky with the Z06 lol all though I did lay a patch shifting into 2nd, chirped em into 3rd, and barked the tires into 4th as well. Too bad i cant chirp 5th haha, I think I need spray

Sounds like an install with some nice components being used. This will be cool to see.

And yes...you need spray. And a big Procharger hanging off the front of that engine. That would be a lot of fun!
