Hey, just have to say a few words about the Vibe Slick amp I installed, can't believe how good it sounds. Being a bit older, about the only thing I can compare it to are what in my day were state of the art speakers, Bose 901's the set up with the Vibe amp and speakers sounds just as good. So if anyone is considering what amp to buy check out the Vibe line. To be honest I have never heard of them before Dennis set me up but as always Dennis steered me in the right direction.
Guess it's not cool to brag on your own system but oh well. I won't belabor the point just wanted everyone to know that IMO Vibe is a system to consider.

Dennis, I took second place at the 4th Annual All Corvette T4T audio system contest, show in Norman last weekend. Third place was also a Vibe set up, just wanted to pass on what a great system you set me up with. I would recommen anyone looking for a amp to check out Vibe.

It only got third in the audio part of the show and it's a mystery to me why. The judge was saying something about the set up was wrong, but the car won first place at the show its an amazing car for sure.

Dennis your set up looks great, have to come up and see it some time.
