Okay, when I'm alone in the Vette the sound is awesome but with a passenger I noticed alot of the high end is blocked. I'll bet moving the tweeters to a different location would make a significant difference in that situation. I'll consider it but for now leaving things as they are.

Hope to see you around the road sometime.

Nick the sound is awesome. This was one of those upgrades I'll never regret. I might try to arrange a little cookout this summer, I'll drop you a line!

That just gives you a reason to turn the volume up and drown them out.

A very quick question,
How did you mount the amp?
did you glue it to the carpet?

I know you don't suppose to drill because the fuel tanks are there, how did you do it?
I am installing mine tomorrow, but I looked at yours and is very clean installation

Thanks for any tip....

Mg.

Well done. What did you use as a substructure? Did you fiberglass just that section or the entire panel?

I didnt do it all, but the vnyl was removed from the pillar and hot glued some wood to get the angle. Im not sure what was used before the fiberglass was laid down. Once laid and dried, the pillar was rewrapped with new vnyl.
