I'm building an autocross/CAM T, but very streetable Camaro.
Eliminating unnecessary weight and particularly weight that's up high or towards either end is the goal. "Unnecessary" is a VERY relative term though. I'm keeping A/C, some careful sound deadening, power windows and a stereo. Keeping the stereo lightweight requires some compromises though. No sub enclosures and no massive amps.
I'm considering a Pumpkin android head unit, but open to suggestions.

It's a 5 speed car, so kick panel speakers are out and the power windows creates another packaging issue. i.e. the front speakers need to be fairly low mount depth
Ideally, I'd like 6 1/2 separates up front and something in the sail panels with some bass. Maybe 8" mids with voice coils? If the 6 1/2's up front are enough, maybe a powered sub box down low in the rear seat area would be a better choice.
The car is a rear-seat delete, so I have room for an amp or powered sub, but again this is a lightweight build so I won't be using anything huge.
The goal is: minimize the equipment and have the ability to play some tunes with no expectation of rattling any windows. Just a decent, balanced sound.
