Default Specing Out My System...

Hey guys, figured I'd post up on the system I'm putting together for my C6 along with asking a few questions to guide me in the right direction.

So far, this is what I'm installing:

Headunit: Pioneer AVIC-X910BT
Door Speakers: Alpine SPR-17S (x2)
Sub/Box: JL Audio Stealthbox with JL 10W1v2-4 Sub
Amp: Alpine PDX-5
Misc: Radio adaptor harness, PAC C2R-GM24, kit and antenna

Only things left are picking out cables (?) and an amp rack... did I miss anything? Figured the rear speakers are pointless as well as the center channel.

Would love to get a custom one built by that one guy on here with the combined storage compartment but I'm not sure I can wait a few months.

Sound deadening.. not sure how crazy I need to get. I know I'm not pushing massive amounts of sound, so I'd like to keep my car as light as possible.

Without rear speakers you won't need a 5-channel amp. A 4-channel with 3/4 bridged to the sub would work.

Great sound deadening stuff at even better prices here.

This thread shows everything except that the gray wire on the TC/AH button is the dimmer wire.

Check out this thread to see how many people mount their amp behind the passenger seat.

Mark, you are the man.

Well, the amp is already bought... guess it'll run a bit cooler not being in use 100%. I have the PDX in my GTO and they get STUPID hot so I'm a bit wary on mounting it behind the seat.

instead of the JL stealth box you should get a box from Maddvette motor sports and a JL Audio W3.....its about the same price and much better. I just ordered one from Maddvette.
