Stereo/Interior Overhaul - C5

Hi All,

I am starting to plan out my 2000 Coupe stereo/interior overhaul.

Here is what I am looking at today:
Year: 2000
Model: Coupe

Head Unit: Pioneer DEH-6200BT with humount.com surround
Front Speakers: CDT CL-62 (with extra Upstage Tweeters, but not sure where to put them). The 2-way system will go in the doors replacing the stock speakers using the Madvette (or Red Lion Customs) speaker mount plates.
Rear Speakers: CDT Rear-fill 6.5" coax speakers
Sub (s): 10" ??
Box: C5 Corvette Sub-box Stealth Box from madvette or doubledmods.com or subthump.com
Amplifier (s): HiFonics Zeus ZXi60.4+1k 5-channel amp
Sound deadening: Dynamat? Pre-fabbed kit? RAAMaudio product? I want to do interior and doors.
Wires: Re-wiring entire car, haven't selected a kit yet for the Amp

Interior leather replacement: DJ Motorsports Accessories interior leather kit (seat covers, door pulls, grab bar, shift boot, e-brake boot, console, traction piping and steering wheel, adding in 2 HD foam seat sets)

Any comments/concerns about my plan so far? Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks.

I would say a 10" sub will do just fine. that is what I am installing in my car.As far as rear speakers you really dont need them so that will save you some cash there. I am going to attempt putting my tweets in my a pillars facing each other for the best sound.I am also going with raamat for several reasons, its easier to install and a better product from what i have researched not to mention Rick is always around to help you with any questions and sell you exactly what you need for you car! hope some of this info helped ya out

I agree. A 12" will move more are and give you more bass you can feel with less wattage.

I think you should only use one set of tweeters. two sets of front tweeters at differeent levels will throw off your staging.

I run rear speakers (volume turned down low) in my 'vert and they make a difference. Ask 10 people if you need them you'll get 5 answers, so if you want them get them. You certainly won't regret it. Good luck!
