Looks like it sounds good. One suggestion is since it is already mounted on a board why not drill a hole for each wire coming to the amps and run all the wire underneath? So you see the end of the wire just where it comes out and connects to the amp. Would be easy to do in an afternoon and look cleaner.

hahahahahah (gcusmano74)...hahhaha good one

in relation to the audio...i went with a retro sound model two, with an extra long 13.5 foot microphone...for the bluetooth...so it can reach the area by the center light in the t top for best audio pick up...

then ordered a new small punch amp..(cruchfield.)... and 2 x 8" subs... in boxes... gonna pull off gray carpet and re-carpet with original carpet...and quick connects..to make room for 2 x 10lb nitrous bottles.... just kept the 4x6 in the dash..with upgrades..and new 6x9's in rear..upgraded... all rockford..except retro sound i think...

stuff is so cheap these days... the tiny but super powerful sub amp fits where the useless car jack is supposed to go..hahahaha

I wouldn't buy a retrosound model 1 whatever you do. That radio is full of issues (died after 2 months, now the replacement drains my battery to dead over a week or two).

Default my system

Here is a picture of my system that I made. I like the space for my t tops so I mounted mine up high. It has some great bass and the amp is hidden between the subs.
Here is my post. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...r-my-73-a.html
