[QUOTE="Darrin kirby, post: 243313, member: 5211"] Hey all! Life's been getting in the way of toys the last few months, but I'm back! I don't have much on the agenda for the 'Vette this year, other than upgrading the brakes (just slotted & cross drilled rotors with ceramic pads) and messing with the audio system. I'm sure other little projects will happen along the way. I might re-spray my wheels if I can find the time. The previous owner did replace the factory Delco/Bose audio system with a cheap touch screen Pioneer head unit and some off-brand speakers. Unfortunately it is kind of half done - the front speakers don't work and the rears sound like unwashed a$$. For now the head unit has to stay (although I detest the thing, so you never know), but the speakers gotta go. I'm planning to replace the rears with a pair of 6.5" shallow-mount subs and the fronts with JL Audio component units that I had in a previous vehicle. I have an external 4ch amp to drive them. That should be plenty of juice for that small cabin. Anyone have any suggestions about mounting the tweeters? I don't want to mount them in the foot wells - won't be able to hear them. I was thinking about mounting them in the door panels but I don't want to hack the panels up. Maybe on the a-pillars but again, don't want to chop them up. I was thinking about mounting them in those after market a-pillar gauge pods if I could find both left & right pods. I've only seen lefts around but there have to be right side equivalents for Europe. Kirb Ideas welcome! [/QUOTE]
