For my C5.....(sorry about that....)
Thinking about going with an Alpine head unit, with Dynaudio components in fronts, possibly something for rear fill, Zapco Competition Amps, JL Stealth 10" (made for the C5) drop in sub & Zapco signal processor.

Thoughts?

Sounds ok. The sub won't fit in a C3 though. Is this for a C5?

The system should rock ... I think you will be wasting your money on rear fill ... otherwise it should be perfect ...

In a Coupe with the Dynaudios ... with enough power ... rear fill will just mess up Sound Quality ...

But remember, the general conesnsus in the car audio world is that a watt is a watt, and amps should be purchased for their features. I dunno, really, that's just what I keep hearing on the car audio forums... :yesnod:

The Zapco has a lot of neat features.
