Welcome to the forum, can not help you with your sound system, but enjoy the other more important sounds of your Vette.

Welcome. After you finish reading the book and make your adjustments, if you're still not satisfied, money may be the answer. The question is how much, and to what products?

For that answer(s), I suggest you go to the front of CF and scroll down to the audio section/forum. There, you will find suggestions up the wazoo to make your car bounce, while standing still!

First off...Welcome to the Forum.

We have a whole section in the Forum devoted to Audio. Here's the link:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=20

Plus, look in the FAQ's -"Doc" Rings does a fine job over there categorizing threads pertaining to various systems and problems with the car.

Congratulations on your C6!

Reading the owner's manual is a must. Adjusting the stereo settings may help tremendously. Many feel the Boze stereo sucks. While I agree it could be improved upon it suffices fine for my purposes. Everyone has different priorities. The sound system that's most important to me is the one under the hood.

Enjoy your Corvette and drive safe!

The stock nav sucks. I went with Kenwood DNX8120. Bluetooth, ipod, dvd, satellite, etc.





This is my start up screen.
