Ended up taking your suggestions and the install will be finished tomorrow--I got a look at it today, nearly finished, and it looks/sounds clean! Any suggestions for settings for the Dayton app (I listen to all sorts of music)? Thanks to all of you for your help and suggestions!

Is this what I want as far as the wiring? I'd get an extra 10' of speaker wire (20' comes with the kit) http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/amp-installation-kits/sp/kolossus-fleks-4-gauge-4-channel-amplifier-installation-kit/...

Awesome, thanks! You make some very convincing arguments

Nope, still haven't ordered anything yet--wanted to get your guys' input first, and I'm glad I did :D

And yeah, if fast rings are redundant for my purposes, I won't get them. Sound deadening seems like a must (lots of road noise--especially with the tops off).

Yeah, I don't have the stock head unit, but I think the OEM one is 10 ohms? Won't that limit what speakers I can get? Or would it not matter since I won't be using the head unit anyway? I was drawn to the Kappa amp because of Infinity's reputation, the bluetooth feature, and the price. Will a...

When I bought my car, it actually came with some cheap aftermarket head unit, and I don't like the modern look in the car, which is what brought me to Custom Autosound. My current head unit isn't even connected, so I'm 100% sure this new setup will sound better :D

I arrived at 10 gauge from Crutchfield's article (200W total RMS * 2 divided by 13.8 = ~28 amperes), but they suggest 8 gauge anyway in the Morel link, so I'll just go with 8 to be safe (def won't be adding any subs later). $33 is good--I'll look into Kill Mat, thanks!

I'm guessing Custom Autosound's package deals won't sound nearly as good, and I'm willing to pay a couple hundred bucks more for better SQ. I went with their cheapest model once I found the Kappa amp had Bluetooth (so I didn't need this functionality in the head unit). And yeah, I'll be shopping...

I bought a 1977 Corvette a year ago and am looking to upgrade the sound system. My priorities are too keep is as stock-looking as possible, and to have it sounding good at a pretty low price point. I'm not too knowledgeable with things car audio-related and was hoping you guys could take a look...
