New install........
I thought I would post this here also since some members don't read c5 general......
This one took me a while to gather up all the parts I needed. I purchased a few at a time from here and there until I had everything. I wasn't very impressed with the bose so I decided to replace it all. I chose the Pioneer so that I could plug up my xm receiver and control it directly from the hu. So far I really like it and the sound is so much better. I had already added an amp and a sub in the rear center compartment earlier this year. I think that the sub also sounds better running off a sub pre-out on the radio. Maybe soon I will add the navigation addon.
P.S. Thanks to Michael (vrumvrum) for the great looking hu mount and to Tracey (Traceys2vettes) for the install information :seeya

Hey what's the model number for the Pioneer unit you have, oh and where did you get that "Corvette" plate underneath?

The hu is the p6500dvd and the install kit was made by forum member vrumvrum. He makes them on a cnc and then powdercoats it when finished. :steering:
