You must have children. That would be the only obvious reason to have a Corvette and travel with a Pathfinder. A Corvette is the ultimate road car!

I should have paid more attention and noticed you are from Cleveland. I can understand the winter driving issue. We get spoiled in the South by being able to drive our Corvettes all year. We should have more empathy.

Thats cool...

I would think that even in the South that many Vette owners would not drive their Vettes daily...

Snow sucks... but the Pathfinder does a good job in it.. I hooked it up w/ 3 screens, two in the headrests, one in the dash... TV,DVD,NAV... the whole deal.... and it was all free since the installer hit my car... and instead of claiming it on Insurance... he paid me back w/ the equipment... he did 7K of work for about $900 in damage... not a bad deal.... I know that it probably cost him only 2-3K... but he was worried about his license so we cut a deal...

He even did my Vette... at a discount since I ahve recommended him to over 30 people and brought him tons of high end work...

Do you have two JL subs? Are they in seperate or a single enclosure? Is it sealed or ported? Are they wired in parallel/series/sterio? What kind of SPLs are you getting? I like the valentine. Good deck choice. The amp would be the weak link of the system. I'm a little suprised they mounted it there and not vertically against the rear of the cargo area.
Thanks for the feedback.
They are 2 JL 10W6 in a sealed enclosure. They are run in parallel. I hit 138 db clear in my last sound off. I have a new JL amp going into the car. I should hit over 140 then. :eek: .. All that and it runs low 12's on street tires (EMT's)
