Running the 3.5 in the door the center and the 5.25 of the factory amp through a gmos 04 box. This retains the chimes and the onstar. Balanced it out with the gain on the gmos04 which works well. The 6.5 components in the door and the 2 8 inch subs are running of amps I split the front rca outputs onthe 7100. One set for the gmos 04 box the other for the front channel amp. When you take the 8 inch subs off the factory amp it seemed to increase head room.

All in all I have about 1800 bucks in the system with parts and install accessories and I would put it up against anything double the cost. Should have pics tonight

Why not use the 3.5 I dont see how a tweet 3.5 and a 6.75 would stop anything from sounding good.

First you have to upload them to a hosting site, I use photobucket.com
If using photobucket just copy and paste the IMG code directly into the message box here on the forum.
Or use the "Insert Image" button on the top of the forum message box. Once you click on the button a box will come up that says "Please enter the URL of your image". Put the direct link for the pic you want to upload into the space provided and hit O.K.
Either way it should look like this in the forum message box:
[IMG] http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h4...7/DSC00395.jpg [/IMG](without the spaces)
Presto your pic is on the message board.

At the bottom of the forums main board (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zeromain) there's a testing page where you can practice until you get it right.

cancellation, "hot spots" in music, imaging issues. But if all you care about is loud, well, there you go.
