Default C6 subs, amps, speakers, and custom rack

Let me know what you think. I posted this over in the C6 section but I should've posted here first.

One heck of a setup man. How 'bout an equipment list?

I'd also be curious as to how you integrated the Parrot.

How much heavier does the vette feel when you drive it? As for show, it looks GREAT!

The Gear:
Alpine:
SPR69LP - 2 way 6x9
SPX107R - 3.5" 2-way
SPX137R - 5.25" Components
US Amps:
MD42 - 4 Channel Amplifier
MD1D - 2 Channel Class D Amplifier
Subs:
2 - 8" Kicker Solobaric L7's
Capacitor:
2.4 Farad VooDoo Stiffening Cap
Miscellaneous:
Parrot Bluetooth
PAC Bose Adaptor
Dynamat
Answer to million $ question:
The top still stows in the rear.
Notes:
I initially wanted Focal units but decided on the Alpine. I have Focals in our '07 Suburban now and used them in our previous Suburbans, but in my Camaros I've used Alpine's and like they way they sound in a sports car??? My installer initally used MB Quart but after I heard them I went back to the Alpines. Just a different sound. The Alpines sound a little warmer to me. I had to use the Solobarics due to space issues. I wanted more low end than the JL Stealthbox was giving. The sound is AWESOME at all levels!!! I've heard 12" Solobarics before, but these 8's are amazing. No drilling in any of the doors, no exposed tweeters, no fiberglass laying. The rack and box are all removable and no cutting of OEM material was done with this install with the exception of removing the cubby doors to utilize the cubbys for air space. Let me know what y'all think.

Vette does not feel that much heavier. Nothing is fiberglassed in so I can pull the system out in less than 3 minutes.

Thanks

The Parrot is integrated into the system just like the Nav. It mutes the stereo when the call comes in and I speak into a microphone. This is one of the best creature comfort mods I've done with having the MN6 ..Look Ma, no hands.

This was the part I was interested in, how that was done. You had an installer so I'm guessing you may not know how it was done.

Thanks for the info, enjoy!
