I like the look of the Alpine ERA G320 processor.. I'd get the Pioneer equivalant but I dont have anywhere in my dash to put it, plus with the DQXS it would be pointless. I wish the 5700 had a RTA. I wonder if the DDC remote has one. Probably not. Anyways get that ugly grill off your sub.

but to each his own....

I'm trying to streighten out a large wrinkle in the carpet just in front of the amp rack. If the wrinkle wasn't there, i would have routed the wires unted it. All attempts to streighten out the carpet have failed so I'm planning on building a floor out of MDF to hide the wires better. i'll carpet it with the same material to make it look stock, but first i have to clean up huge piles of sawdust so i can find my tools..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

here's a few pics of the Sub and box (mid install):

Place for the sub box:

The box itself: (box building credit goes to Dave from http://www.corvettecaraudio.com/ He does excellent work and his customer service is supurb. highly reccomended for anyone with a corvette or F body)

Almost there:

Auto Vette?

How many miles are on that bad boy?

[d cha p 10+ year member]

nice work but why are you putting all that weight in a vette?

 

[dragonrage 10+ year member]

Because it'll sound good and not noticibly slow it down? A Vette is not a Civic, it's not all about losing 20 pounds in an effort to make your car something it isn't.

However, if you ask me, this install's way too flashy. My amps will be hidden, sub will be in a stealthbox... But as they say, different strokes...

automatic sinner!

Milage: 105K miles.

Weight gain: roughly 70 pounds. (but i switched from runflats on stock rims to kuhmos on aftermarket rims for a 35pound weight savings.

the additional weight in the rear improves traction too:naughty:

plus it gives me an excuse to get more HP mods (like the ram air intake installed this weekend)

the 7998 reminds me of ***.

Thats pretty sweet. I agree a little to flashy and the eq looks sweet-but a audiocontrol piece would sound better.

Dont be hatin on automatics- just a different torque converter will make that thing fly off the line with "consistant" times. 6spds and fast car=smokin tires off the line which=loss //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Manual is also a pita to drive.

That dash is sexy! Lots of pretty lights and the install is very nice.

Automatic vette? WHY?
