Those kick panels look awesome!! Did you make them or buy them?

[CRead01]

I made them out of fiberglass. then i put polished aluminum trim rings on them.

Ah.... thank you. I'll look on their web page for more

[WS6]

one day I'll be able to show you mine as I plan a nice stereo system for my TA. Til then I'll just drool over what the rest of you have done.

$620 for the door panels, ouch! Maybe I can find a good car audio guy to glass a set...
Now if I can get that intake....

My old Camaro didn't have anything special, but it sounded really good.
I had a Kenwood head unit (I think they have better bass response), a Profile 50x2 RMS amp, and a pair of Pioneer 6922 6x9 four way rear speakers. I also had some kind of decent 3-1/2" front speakers that I ran off the head unit.
When I would play Korn's first album and turn it up the bass notes would shake my insides! (There are some nice, low notes on that album.)
It was cheap, but the performance for the price was incredible, and it didn't add a lot of weight or take up a lot of room.

My 1977 Camaro in its previous guise had two different show winning installs.

Pre 1993 it had a N/A 305CI V8. I had 4x10" Pionner subs on a 1" thicK sculpted piece of MDF bolted to the rear shelf. The rear seat area had 1" thick MDF with 4 x 4" ports. All gaps fiberglassed.
There was 1" thick MDF from the edge of the trunk openeing to the trunk floor at 35% into which 2 x 15" JBL 1500GTI's were bolted. This piece was JB weld and fiberblassed into place. the 4 10's and two 15"s were electronically phased for maximum output. I read countless speaker design books and came up with that set-up due to F body limitations. I was going up against vans with power cubes (Honeycombe arrangment of 4, 8 or 12 subs of 12" or 15") and cars with just 4 x 18".
The rest of the trunk area had two additional batteries, Hifonics Colossus, x overs, fuses etc.
Up front was 4 x 6.5 in the doors. Made from MDF. USD tweeter horns just below the bottom of the dash.
2 alternators and 4 x Optimas, all reds. I don't think the yellows were out yet.

This had great sound stage and 145 db. But was very heavy. (pounds and sounds)!!!!!!

In 2002 I revamped the stereo. Buy now it had a 355ci V8 and P600B Procharger.
Stereo consisted of 1 alternator, 1 battery yellow top optima, 2 x USD tweeter horns, 2 x 8 inch USD mid bass in the doors. 2 x MA audio 12" subs in custom enclosures where the back seats would be. In the trunk 1 X 1000W rms mid/treble 4 channel MA audio amp and 1 X 3000 rms MA audio amp.
150 db lifted the T tops crack the windshield and rattled loose lots of stuff.

I gave up when a VW Beetle with 4 x 10,000w rms amps and filled with concrete won a competition.

Now I get a headache with a F1C Procharger and dual 3" flowmasters.
I have no stereo at all. I may install something after I have 1/4 mile times or some kind of trophy for speed/handling.

I'll try to dig up some old photo's.
