if you were listening to the radio then you'll never hear rattles even on full blast, its only on CDs and mp3s that you'll get the rattle at full blast

Also, I'm going thru MnP Customs. Have any of you heard any good or bad about his stuff?
One of our members has been cited for tinted tail lights but not side markers. Cops will pull you over if they are too dark. As for MnP customs I've never heard of em. If that's all your looking to do I would just buy some tint off eBay that's already pre cut for the Camaro tail lights and just do it yourself. It's pretty easy and light on your wallet.
Post on here if you have any other questions we are more then welcome to help.

CD worked just fine, took it to 45 bass at 10 and clear as a bell, no distortion or rattles.Insulation may be helping as to clarity and sound but

Well this can only mean one thing ........... GM heard all the complaints from the 2010-2011 years and actually fixed the issue for the 2012's which is what you have

I'm going to try doing what you did and see if that helps for the 2010-2011.

I owe 23,500 on my car. How much do you think I could get for it if I sell it privately?

I mentioned this to another user in the Audio thread, but the speakers are only as good as the power going to them. But as long as you have the sound you want, then that's all that matters. Some people just add a sub and amp and they are happy with it.

When I replaced the stock amp with a JL amp, the stock BA's sounded cleaner and would hit hard at higher volume.

That's the amp I have now (xd400), and it sounds great with my Alpine's!
