Start with your end game and budget in mind, and choose pieces that fit both criteria. From experience, my first investment would be a couple hundred dollars on sound deadening, and doing a shit ton of research while that step is being completed. Just my .02

Thanks, installing have been a hobby for me since I was in my teens... back when Crunch, Lanzar, and Rockford where the thing to have (Crunch is garbage now, Lanzar IDK where they are, and Rockford is not what it used to be unless you get the T series). I am now almost 49, so its been a long and expensive journey. I let go of my car audio equipment about 4 years ago when I sold it on my GTO. Never completely finished it, but it was 75% there. On the Camaro, for now I just want a clean sounding system... I have the tone set to volume 30, and I hate the fact that if I go down to 15-20 the bass doubles, if not triples making the music sound like crap.
My initial thought was to get an Audio Control D-4.800, and just run components on all 4, but I know that will not have enough bass for me, I need at least 1 or 2 10's on sealed boxes to keep up with the music I like. I don't think I am going to go all out on this car, so I decided that a decent 4 ch amp, with 6.5 components in the front, and a single 10" will be all I need, but my biggest quest is to find if the bass rolls off only at the amp, and not at the headunit as well... if it does roll at the headunit I will need a DSP with bass restorer, and the Audio Control is a very good unit.
Whats putting me down is the fact that there is only one kit to remove the amp in the market for this car right now, and that you need a $300 kit to install an after market radio if you plan on keeping your controls (other than hacking the OEM radio)... GM designer and engineer suck at designing this car for the complete enthusiast.
