Default C3 System install done (pics)

Here are some pictures of the following system I just installed myself.
There is also a layer of Brown bread (two in some places) and two layers of the Frost King heat insulation throughout. The soft top still folds without any interference with the sub enclosure or amp rack.

Alpine 7897 in dash
CDT HD-42 components in the kickpanels
CDT Image enhancing tweeters at the corner of the dash
Two Image Dynamics IDQ10-V.2 in custom sealed enclosure behind the seats
USAcoustics USX600D driving the subs
USAcoustics USX2100 driving the componenets

The CDT Image Enhancing tweeters do add a lot of needed highs.

Great work.

It is very difficult to get good imaging and bass response from a vert. That 7897 looks very good in the dash. You just need to tidy up your wiring a bit. How does it sound?

looks good man, where did you get your bezel done at? I had researched it once before but forgot who all does it. I have an extra bezel to have done that's been cut up some.

Vette Specialties sells the metal DIN bezel kit. It looks very nice in a modified 68-77 center guage bezel.
