Do u mean a new terrible or stock system terrible? :U The first thing u should do is play with your balance/fade controls. If it's really distorted and raspy it's probably a blown speaker and u should be able to point it out when u single out certain speakers. :yesnod: Play the type of music u notice it the most. Certain speakers play certain frequency's. If the front speakers are tweet & mid they can blow pretty easy. I don't know if it's the quality or the crossover points but it happens. :cheers:

Also, there won't be an amp unless u have put in a different system. They are powered speakers and need to be replaced with the same thing. :p:

We need more info.
Did it just now starting to sound bad?
IMO, the Vette's factory radio isn't the best. Also IMO, I would not spend a dime to fix a factory system, spend the $ on a new set-up. :cheers:
