Its not vin specific(at this time). It is for all 2010 Camaro's with UQA and you have this problem. You can't just go to a dealer and say "give me new speakers and an amp" because it probably will not happen

Did you guys not break in your speakers properly?

And just how in the hell do you do that ? There is no break in period for speakers !!!

You have to WOV them about 50 times, starting at 0 to 10 on your volume knob. Ensuring that you don't allow the speaker cones to downtone on their own. The best thing is to be ready to put your tone control in neutral when you've reached your desired level of volume.

And of course popping off the tone knob asap, after the 50 WOV runs, and performing a proper knob lubricant change.

That knob lubricant is a good idea, but it won't do anything for the speakers. I recommend rubbing Bengay on the speaker cones, then soaking them in a hot tub for at least an hour.

I always miss that step, thanks for pointing it out. I stand corrected, as usual.

You need to get a can of squelch and squirt it in the CD player slot too. That's crucial.
