This is a copy of the post Mike made on Corvette Forum describing the stereo installation we did on his Atomic Orange 2008 Corvette Coupe. Since I donated my time & blood to the cause I thought I’d give the post a more permanent home here.  Click the more link after the first few pics as there are TONS of pics in this and I didn’t want to kill the load time on my front page.

Yesterday I finally put the finishing touches on the new system in my 08 Corvette. Below is a list of componets I used and then multiple pictures of the install. I also took this oppertunity to install the insulation kit that I purchased from Exotic Corvettes.

1 Full Insulation Kit
1 Kenwood DNX6140 (Built in BT)
1 Kenwood KCA-XM100V (XM module)
1 Audiovox CNP2000 (XM Mini Tuner)
1 Kenwood KCA-IP301V (Ipod cable)
1 Male-Female USB cable (to use both USB and iPod)
2 Subthump C6 enclosures
1 Subthump amp rack
1 Subthump amp rack cover
2 Rockford Fosgate P3 Shallow Mount subwoofers
2 JL 250/1 Class D amps (Powering subs)

We started by disassembling the interior.

Hard to believe it’s been three years since Rob & I flew out to pick up my convertible, but the warranty is up so it must be true.  When I got the car home from that trip it was filthy so of course I had to wash it.  That would have been April 10, 2006 and the weeping cherry in my front yard was in full bloom so I took advantage of that and snapped a few pics.  The following year that same weekend was the first cruise-in of the year for the CCDV so I prepped the car up for it and noticed the tree was again in bloom so I snapped a few pics again.  That picture to this day is my favorite of the car, it shows the changes I made during that first year – wheels, painted Z06 spoiler and painted door handles.  In 2008 I was in Europe vacationing with Andy & Biggi so I missed the tree’s very short window of blooming.  This year the tree has started to bloom and wasn’t fully bloomed yesterday but I thought I better take advantage of the opportunity while it was available anyway.  The pictures also would have been better with afternoon sun after it had passed over the house and would have been behind the camera, but again, strike while the iron is hot!  So without further preamble, the 2009 cherry tree pics.
