Default New Audio System Installed 1988!
Well this system has been installed for a few weeks now, but I just now got the pics online. Built this thing from the ground up, ran every wire through the car, built all the speaker mounts, built the sub box and everything. I dont think it looks too bad for the work of a 17 year old kid Obviously it doesnt compare to some of the systems posted but I like it and think it sounds great.

Your setup looks good. I installed a system in my 1988 35th Anniversary Edition Corvette also. I did this a few years ago. I don't think I have even listened to this stereo in about 2 years. It's a garage queen now since the resto.

What sequence number is your 35th Anniversary Edition? Mine is #1725.
