Wow. Well whatever you, and all the others on this thread, end up doing, PLEASE put in in that new member journal section, so i can copy your work, as i know nothing about systems.

you know for some reason i never really hear about ma audio but i got one of their amps like 2 years ago and its an amazing amp. its 1400 watts rms at 2 omhs and 17.7 volts and it has a digital readout of volts, output, and temp and i bought the amp for only like 175 brand new, yeah its not the greatest or best brand but for the money it was a pretty good buy

I figure these are perfect for the Camaro considering the small trunk opening. I'll put one in at a time and position them in the best sounding spot.

How much?

Depends upon what you are trying to achieve, SQ or SPL. Start with quality components up front, anchored by a deep, tight low end. Boston Pros are nice, but I prefer the Rally Series. Probably go with BA or MB quarts up front, Diamonds in the back. I have a few amps in my arsenal as well...

If you're looking to upgrade the system I would recommend the system that GM is going to offer from MTX as an upgrade. From what I've read about it it sounds extremely bulletproof and for the price it would be hard to get a better custom system installed.

If you're looking to increase your electrical system I recommend adding a Kinetik battery over a cap or yellow top. Yellow tops have a higher resting voltage making it normally difficult for a factory charging system to ever fully charge the battery causing the battery to fail prematurely and really damper the performance of your system. Kinetik offers all sorts of sizes and power of batteries so if you don't have the room for a full size extra battery you can go with something smaller. A good example is that their smallest battery is the HC600 which is a bit more power of the Optima red top at half the size and 100x more powerful than a 1 Farad cap.

I'll try to get more info on that MTX system tomorrow

If you have never used one of these amps you will love it. I have a PDX 4.150 for the components in the doors in my Colly and a 1.1000 on two 10" subs. I have a spare 1.1000 I am saving for my Camaro. These amps never get hot and output is higher than rated. They come with the bench test report in the box. The 1.1000 actually bench tested 1146 watts RMS. Well worth the $$

I have learned to stay away from the Audio forums, way too many strong opinions over there and everything ends up being a pissing match. I've been in the car and audio scene for quite a while now and have picked up quite a bit of knowledge along the way.
