[QUOTE="QuattroFour4, post: 8673178, member: 676909"] 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 at what I've picked out so far to make sure I'm not doing anything stupid :D [LIST][*]Head unit: [URL="https://www.ecklers.com/corvette/custom-autosound-usa-230-am-fm-stereo-concours-series-chrome-face-cam-cvlv-230-blk-con-corvette-1977-1982-25-178621-1.html"]Custom Autosound USA-230[/URL] (~$159) [*]Speakers: [URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/p_210MAXIM52/Morel-Maximo-5.html?tp=106&avf=Y"]Morel Maximo 5[/URL] (~$150) (woofers in the kick panels; tweeters under the dash in the stock location) [*]Amp: [URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108K2/Infinity-Kappa-K2.html?cc=02"]Infinity Kappa K2[/URL] (~$140) [*][URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/S-YRjGsKZwR5h/p_541FAST5/Stinger-Roadkill-RFKR5-FAST-Rings.html"]Stinger Roadkill FAST Rings[/URL] (~$50) [*][URL="https://www.crutchfield.com/p_575RFK10/Rockford-Fosgate-RFK10.html?tp=2919"]10-gauge wiring kit[/URL] (~$25) (amp hopefully installed in the storage container--right next to the battery) [/LIST] Total comes out to ~$525 + install, which I'm fine with.
