I hear ya-and I'm super glad we put the Kappas up front for a front stage-turning them off made it sound pretty bad. But we rode around with the ttops off for an hour or so adjusting the front/rears and sub and have it perfect (the gains are higher on fronts but with the larger 6 x 9's and sub...

They completed the install today and it sounds excellent-a lot better than I was expecting. We did the same equipment as above except the installer had recommended that I do Infinity Kappa 4 x 6 plates instead of the Hertz's lower line (only line Hertz makes a 4x6 in). I knew with the Vetter...

Went ahead and bought locally this morning-Hertz 6 x 9's (HCX690) for rear and Hertz 4 x 6's (DCX460) for the front (going in the dash-wasn't too keen on seeing them in the door kicks). Got a JL 10 W3 for the sub (buddy's going to build a box for the 6 x 9's and sub-will be able to take it out...

I'd still be interested in your idea-thanks!

Ya'll changed my thinking-I googled speakers on my C3 Vette forum and they are either putting 4 x 6's in the dash or 6.5's in the kicks (4 x 6 are original size for both but looks tough to get anything but a 4 x 6 in dash-6.5 (slim one) will fit in kicks if I want to) or both.

I hear ya. I knew the rear was the worst location but didn't realize it was as bad as "horrible". It's a car that's fairly loud (motor) and will always have the T-tops off when driven if that matters. So I know with the wind noise and being open that I'm already starting off with a pretty bad...

I'd be really interested in your ideas/options. My intention was to drive it to a couple local shops this week to get quotes/options but it's been raining here and do not like to get the car out in the rain. I also have a buddy that could do the install that used to have a shop years ago if I go...

I am putting a system in my 79 Vette (2cd car). It has factory radio and I'd like to not mess with the factory look (use my I-phone to deliver signal) or mess with dash speakers or put them in the kick panels. My preference is to have a local shop build box for 6 1/2's and a 10" sub and put in...

Bumping to see if I could not recieve some amp/spr suggestions.

I am going to finish my sound system wiring and install my amp/s and subs in my 81 TA and was interested in seeing if you guys had any guidance to a couple of issues that are new to me. Here's what I got, I took it out of my 02 Eldorado, I really liked the sound I had and want to get as close...
