Input requested Stereo Issues
Hi everyone,
I don't usually frequent this form (I'm usually on the C-3) so if this topic has been discussed excessively, I apologize.
The bad news is my vette was broken into this week and the stereo was removed. The good news (I hope!) is I get to start my interior renovation project that I have been procrastinating on for longer than I care to mention.
My question concerns the above-mentioned project. Since I will be insulating the cockpit and replacing the carpet, this is the perfect time to do all those small projects that I have always wanted to do but did not have accessibility to get at them. Now that the CD unit has been removed for me what are your thoughts about relocating the player to the rear bins and using a remote. This would make it more secure plus free up that area of the upper console. Since I will be using a wood veneer cover, I can hack up the bezel without worrying about ruining anything. There are very few items on my car that originally came with it from the factory, so I am not concerned about being correct. The last item I would appreciate input on is the use of a self-powered bazooka type sub woofer in the rear compartment. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your input!

Re: Input requested Stereo Issues (ENCHANTMENT)
the problem with stereo remotes is that most of them are line of site. Also, most head units wont work properly if put in a position greater than 30'

Re: Input requested Stereo Issues (Kale)
I would only do this with a changer model that hooked up to a deck in the dash or a commander unit (controls that are hard wired to a hand held remote you can attach to the visor, stuff under the seat, etc. I would be to much of a PITA to do it with a single CD to change disks, radio stations, etc.
Bazooka tubes and the like give you more bass than stock systems but no where near the bass of a real woofer in a cabinet with an amp. They are also portable/removable. It depends on your needs/wants.
