Default OPTIMA Presents How-To Tuesday: Making Your Corvette's Sound System Thump



We know having a "bangin'" system isn't a priority of most Corvette owners, but who doesn't want their car sounding good both on the outside and inside? Surprisingly there are many options for those of you looking to make a statement on the sound system aspect once you've got the engine where you want it, no doubt.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

Sorry, but that looks absolutely awful. It looks like a home-made wooden box that was roughly the right size was just laid in the trunk, they even had to add extra pieces of wood on the side to keep it centered. The build quality reminds me of something from high school shop class (even that ay be generous).

What did they do this to anyway? One pic shows a red vert and the other a silver hard top? Sad.

Wait, it gets better! In the how-to the final pic isn't even close to a vette!

So that guy can build a sett-up like that and then says to tune it by ear??
Where is the oscilloscope? Where are the Autosound 2000 test CD'S ?
Oh, that's right, I forgot this is 2015 and most folk think MP3s are benchmark sound material. So I suppose anybody's ear can tune a system to perfection.
