Re: Got all my Stereo built ! (Z06 THIS)
What amp is that? is it the JL 500/5 ??? I was thinking about getting it but was told not to? How does it sound to you?
What did you use for the rear speakers ? I was told not to even bother but I am not sure ...
Thanks ... could you just list you setup?

Re: Got all my Stereo built ! (NewVetteLover)
That looks really good! I am doing an almost exact copy of your setup on my Z06. It will have the same JL Amp, only it's the 500/1 and the sub will be a 10" Eclipse Aluminum in a box made with handles that I can easily take out of the car whenever needed.
NewVetteLover - I've absolutely loved my JL amp! I had the 500/1 powering 2 10" Eclipse Aluminum subs, (which require allot of power to sound their best) and the sound was just awesome. About as precise and as clear as you can get :)

Looks good. I have an Alpine CVA-1006 Widescreen monitor, Alpine 6-disc DVD changer, and Alpine TV Tuner in my Jeep Grand Cherokee.
What speakers did you use in the front door and rear pillars? What sizes did you use and did they fit in the stock locations without modifications?

Re: Got all my Stereo built ! (NewVetteLover)
NewVetteLover My setup :
1. Headunit - Alpine IVA-C800 motorized flip out 6.5 monitor
2. Opt. Head - Alpine DVA-5205 DVD/video CD/CD Player
3. Front Speakers - ''Q'' Series MB Quart 2-way 6.5 Mid and 1'' Tweets
4. Sub - JL Audio Corvette 'Stealthbox' with 10''W3 sub
5. Amp - JL Audio 500/5 5-channel Amp
6. Amp rack - Custom built slanted wood rack for amp with Custom cut Plexi-glass oval shaped with ALuminum JL Audio symbol in the middle
I would recommend changing out the rear speakers as well, i have the factory in the rear and they dont sound bad. They will remain in there untill my rear MB Quarts come it !
Thats basically it ...and let me tell ya ...it *~* ROCKS *~* if there is anything else you wanna know just let me know !

Re: Got all my Stereo built ! (Z06 THIS)
Thanks ... I was mainly concerned with the rear channels clipping ... have you had any problems with that? How about the heat... does it get hot?
I would love to get a similar setup ... but the 25WRMS in the rear worries me ....

Re: Got all my Stereo built ! (Stingray1967)
The engine still tends to drown out the speakers if I crack the windows. The windows crack themselves (the seals) at 140mph. The wind noise becomes irritating then. My ears pop.
