Keep asking thats why the forum is here.....
Yes, just the rear....I see absolutely no reason for fronts....these are going to be like having on headphones......the only speakers in the car originally were the dash pod speakers.........

That makes me feel better. Two nice 6x9's and a good 2 channel amp. That will keep the cost down some.

I found it on corvette central as well. Interesting as I wonder how they hid the Ipod jack on the front. I might have to follow your set up. I think it will be the closest I can come to looking totally stock and having music I can hear with the tops off.

I agree, the stock radio will go in a box. When I do a tune up the original plug wires and plugs will go in as well!

Why did you go with a 2-way speaker and not a 3-way? Which amp specifically is that? I typed in the front code but it comes up with 3 different amps.
