Default Shagster Does His Magic Again

My wife really loves her tunes and has put up with a lot with me and the Vette-- so this mod was for her. All work done by Shagster, the MESV wizard. Think the AMP box turned out great. Thanks Neil.

Kenwood KEN-KVT514 Head Unit with USB/IPOD DVD XM NAV etc..




Kenwood KEN-KAC 8404 800W Amp and JL 12W1 12" subwoofer






Also installed BOS-SL60 2way 6.5" speakers upfront behind the OEM grills. Sounds great. Just gotta figure out the NAV

Glad you got things how you wanted them. I need to get my i-pod wired up to my Vette so I can enjoy it, too. Color me jealous just for that.

Looks sharp, very nice install
I agree with you on the amp/sub - very clean.

What's the seam on your center bezel? Is that now a two piece?

Those are plastic overlays. They come in a two piece set that affix to the top of your stock dash.

Thanks. The PICS just don't do justice to Neil's work.
