[QUOTE="boardroomjimmy, post: 5279852, member: 580974"] Swapping out the stock drivers will make little difference. If you want marginally better sound than ok. Any 3.5"coax is not gonna get you the kind of performance that most are goin for. If you scrap the factory 3.5 and 8"woofer in the doors and replace with a quality 6.5"comp set, you'll loose a lot of your bottom end. You then would have to add a sub in the back. With the corvette it's really all or nothing. Here's what I was considering to do with mine (b4 I sold it). Replace the 8" woofer with a pair of memphis m-sync 8"coax, and a quality 3.5 /4" mid from madisound. You'd need a 4ch. amp so that you could balance the levels and get the sound right. Also I suggest a quality loc like audiocontrol's lc6. Leave the 5.25s on the stock amp for fill if you like. Or go for a sub in back with 6.5 comps in the doors. Just remember, the top has gotta fit in back with whatever sub box you choose. I came down to a slim jl ($550) or a jl stealth box($600). At ant rate it's $200 for little change or $2000 for more change, you decide. Corvetteforum.com has an audio section that may be helpful, It's one of the best sites around. [/QUOTE]
