Title: Stereo
Post by: Mattrix on December 21, 2005, 09:36:37 AM: Hi All. Wondering about the people with C3's 1978 onwards, how do you do anything with the boot? From my knowledge (obviously mine hasn't arrived yet) you have to get to the boot by pushing the 2 seats forwards, is that right? has anyone here put hinges on the back window? how else can you get decent sized stuff in there? what about stereo installs, has anyone put in a nice custom stereo install, and if so was it a nightmare? My car needs a new head unit when it arrives, I have 1000w RMS amp I'd love to put in the car and some 12" earthquakes as well.
looking forward to hearing people's experiences.

To view it, go to our website - www.corvettesdownunder.com.au and go to the photos section. Up the top of the page is my yellow '81. click on the photo and you will see photos of the progress I have made so far.
Regards,
George.

That's a nice car George and the sound system install looks very neat, excellent job:v
