Default Atlanta area stereo install help?

I have a single DIN clarion, 2 sets of Infinity 6.5s, 1 10" sub, and a 6 channel amp that I want to install. I know almost nothing about stereo install but want to learn. I'll have everything needed to install. If someone would be gracious enough to help (and by help I mean teach me as we install it together) me install this I'd be very grateful. Of course beer and meals are on me. If you wanted paid we could work that out too. I'm willing to drive a couple of hours if needed. Thanks!

Man, I wish I was closer, I'd lend you a hand, but to be honest, after watching what you have accomplished already I have no doubt that you can do this, the corvette is pretty easy to install an aftermarket system in, there is tons of info available regarding how and what you need to address.
Plus I'm sure someone on here that's close would gladly assist, I'm serious it's pretty straight forward
And if I can help with anything just text me, i did all of mine so I might can help if it comes down to it.

I think once you get the console pieces out, it should be plug and play. Just make sure you have the correct wiring harnesses, antenna adapter, and mounting pieces.

Like skydiven said after wathcing all the mods U have done this should be easy, plug and play if you have all the hardwire. If I had done it before I would come and help, I am only 1.5 hrs away. I am n the first town just inside SC. Good luck

I've been up your way a few times. Wish you had done it before. I've always been apprehensive about anything electronics. I just want to be walked through it one time you know?

Do you have the Bose system? It's pretty straight forward. Going to put a new stereo in my daughters Beetle in a few minutes.

Good times getting you all wired up. With some good wire and a little help form Dennis at DD you can now listen to your music via bluetooth. Be sure to post some finished product pictures.
