[QUOTE="the727kid, post: 8571956, member: 569362"] First mistake is being on this forum. Everyone is going to suggest you need a processor, must go active, and fully deaden the whole car. Oh yeah and JL is overpriced garbage here. Realistically - if you always wanted JL - and you have the money - go get it. They make a great product, yes it may be pricey, but you are paying for quality and something you have always wanted. JL Fix and the TwK would be a great combo for you if you want to get into tuning. At the end of the day you could probably get more for your money with others brands but that is up to you. (Besides the subs, no one is really touching JL when it comes to thin subwoofers). In my experience (10+ years of installing now), a pretty basic set-up would be fine for you. I would go with the TW3, a 5 channel amp, some components up front (bridged off the other 4 channels) and basic co-axials in the rear. Start there and see if it is to your liking. From there you can determine if deadening or fixing the signal and tuning are worth the extra $1000+ dollars. In all honestly though - you will be happy just getting the basics done - 99% of customers are. I would also suggest picking some tools and doing the install your self. Chevy trucks are very easy to work on and the parts are out there to make it even easier. [/QUOTE]
