Hello all, I just recently got my Camaro, and opted to not order the Boston system because I prefer to create my own systems. I'm not shy about playing with wiring or anything, but I am shy about taking the head unit out of this bad boy, which I imagine there has to be a thread for. I can't visually even picture an easy way for it to come out, unlike my Cobalt, which was super easy... I also remember seeing a while back a thread in which a vendor had created amp install kits for Camaros with the stock system and the Boston system, and I have an amp already so all I need is the kit. If anyone could help me with finding these threads I'd be very appreciative. Also, has anyone put one of these in their car yet? I know I'll have to build a custom box, just curious about the sound, the 6-speaker system actually has a decent amount of bass, just not enough

Well if you did not get the BA system that wiring kit wont work.....

I am installing my 2 12's Friday and will give you the breakdown on what's needed if you want to attempt yourself. The parts are cheep and hopefully it will sound bad azz by noon on Friday.

I have the parts now and will document the progress.

Cool, do you plan to take any pics? Pictures of removing the head unit are mainly what I need, I've go no idea how to take that out and Mitchell OnDemand doesn't have the service manual for the car yet at school, so I can't just look there like I do for everything else.

i have two kicker comp tens with a two hundred watt amp in my camaro. i also have the stock speakers and head unit and it sounds really good. it is your call if you want to remove it but i would be against taking that head unit out.

I don't intend on removing the HU for good, just in order to wire it, unless of course I don't need to. did you wire without removing it?
