I recently purchased a Le Mans Blue 2007 coupe with 14 thousand miles. This is my first Corvette and am very excited! A Corvette has been on my wish list for a very long time and three weeks ago all the Corvette planets lined up, the conditions were optimal and the purchase was made!
I have been lurking here gathering information before my purchase and even though I'm a little late to the party I would like to contribute what I can.
Thank you Jeff! I have the titanium interior, Z51 and 3LT package. So basically the same car as yours but coupe.
I will put pictures up when I can.
I didn't like how the Bose sound system sounded so I researched and bought some Infinity 3.5" coaxial speakers to try and fix the problem. But before that I setup my home theater frequency response microphone and laptop with TrueRta software and wanted to take some baseline readings. I found that by adjusting the tone control settings I was able to improve the sound quality significantly. The frequency response was flat enough and the volumes of the mids and door woofers were even. Enough so that I decided to return the Infinity's.
Music sounds much better now. I have the fader midway between all the way forward and center. I don't like the rear fill so I will most likely disconnect the rear speakers and the front center as my music sounded better with the center speaker covered.
The settings that measured the best were three up from all the way down on the highs and mids and the bass left all the way down. Even all the way down the bass is too much for my taste.
The highs of the stock 3.5" speakers fall off around 13Khz or 14Khz. I can't hear those higher frequencies above that anyway so it doesn't bother me that they can't be reproduced.
Once I figure out where to post my findings I'll create a new thread.
