Default "Sound Killer" does it work?



Before I spend $220 at Ecklers, I want to see if anyone has one of these and do they work?

Not sure if it works but if it does you won't hear your rear speakers.

Good point, but I don't listen to the stereo that much anyway. I can always switch to the front speakers...

$199 at corvetteamerica.com. I just got my hard copy of the corvette america catalog today.
Although, it was a good point about the rear speakers.
Also, when I saw this item (just earlier today) I that it might be a pain in the buttocks to fasten and unfasten. Keep in mind, that's the ONLY storage space in a convertible. Once that are is sealed up where are you going to put your bag of chips?

Wasn't there a recent thread on this with a sound level check with, and without? If I remember correctly, the difference was 1 or 2 decibels. For a couple hundred bucks? I'm not convinced.

Looks nice, though.
