Speakers speakers everywhere!
Ooh Rah there hoo yas. I have an oppurtunity to get my hands on some top of the line speakers tomorrow and dont know what size to put in the dash of a "79. I believe 6x9" will fit in the rear, 4x6 in the kick panels, but dont know what to put in the dash. If any of you could help me out I'd appreciate it no end. Thanks again!!

5x7's in the dash, 6"'s in the kick panels, rear box w/ 6x9's with one 8" woofer in the rear. All Boston Acoutics spks with Eclpise head unit and three Alpine amps. Nice loud and all hidden.

i haven't had the cash to really finish up the interior yet..... i was let go from my construction gig (2.5 years working for the builder) back in may and been trying to get my company back rolling again...... that's where i stopped the project....
new upgrades will be
new morphed gauges/radio/dvd/monitor/switches/air ride in the shifter/gauges console
new steering wheel
floor mats
re upolhestered (sp) seats
interior trim stripped and repainted (the right way)
i also need to redo the pulleys/water pump/belts/ and maybe new electric fans
also installing air ride so i can go over tracks and bumps without ripping off my oil pan or tierods/ps lines
i have been looking at steering wheels also but can't see spending 300 for a wheel..... plus i need a small one.....around 13" or so.....
i'm trying to enter it in a car show in 3 months and possibly win some trophies for the custom rod area or something.......
i might redo the dash also in the fall...... try to make it fit in a bit better with some curves and stuff...not sure yet.......

ohh yeah the switches

i just drive it on good days with the tops off most of the time...... the fresh air vents let in some heat so that's good on the cool nights..... it feels good driving the vette man.......i remember when my dad would let me drive his 74 for a month during the summer.....that was what got me hooked....... sure i get the evil eye from people but i get alot of thumbs ups and hooks.....so far no chest portions yet..hehe...... i've been trying to hang with some c3 guys in the area..... the c5 guys seem to be tools........ hopefully soon i can get my vette and my company back on track...... not much work in detroit for architecture related items......

probably referring to my setup....it's still in the stock location under the amps...... i installed 2 battery posts under the car just in case i have to charge the battery and get into my car....since i don't have handle/locks....have to make sure the door poppers work....and i wired the windows on a constant wire/fuse to the battery so if anything happens, i can roll down the windows without having the ignition on.... coat hanger trick...
