Check the Audio section. You have a 4 speaker system in your car.

Corvette and "low on cash" don't mix

Ghetto rigged stereo upgrades are annoying. However, you can upgrade on a budget.
Get on Ebay and find a carpeted box for about $90-110 that fits nicely in the storage well, that's generally the item that is either costly or can make your efforts look like ghetto crap.
Replace your 3 1/2" front speakers with Infinity 2-way's to had some highs and clarity (Infinity respond well to factory systems and can be had on Ebay at a low price).
You will need a wiring harness that allows you to add an external amp too. Don't hack into factory speaker wires.

Have fun and good luck

No highs? No lows? It must be Bose!
