Here's some pics of the latest to come out of Rockstar Designs here in Houston, TX

nice silver vert!


Alpine double din molded indash


Two sets of Diamond Audio S600S in the front doors. one tweeter is in the door, the other in the a-pillar


The second tweeter custom molded into the pillars


The trunk area, housing two JL 8W7's and the Diamond Audio amps


Closeup of the corvette logo on the plexi cover over the amps


The trunk lit up!


The amps are a Diamond Audio D6 600.4 running the front stage and a D6 1000.1 running the subwoofers.

As always if you guys have any questions feel free to post up here or e-mail me at mykvr6@sbcglobal.net I'll try to get back to you asap, school's over for a few weeks so I may actually have some free time! Enjoy the pics guys!

very nice. are you using planar tweeters? what was your reasoning for double components? any phase cancelation issues?

nah just the regular Diamond tweets that come in the set, the grille makes them look like they may be planar but they aren't. Customer just wanted some extra sound up front. No rear speakers in this car. Not the best setup from a pure sq/rta/competition standpoint, but the car sounds good and it's exactly what the customer wanted.

another great install, thanks for posting it.


Does the placement of the woofers create cancelation?

Mykvr6,

Very nice install. You have some really nice installs on your website too. Are you sure that dash for the Cady CTS isn't a SRX though??? I have a 2004 CTS-V and my dash doesn't look anything like that.
