Ian Kee from keesaudio probably a good place to start. http://keeaudio.com/
had a chit chat with him over the phone and he seemed like a really nice guy. Of course I'm sure any of the ls1tech sponsors probably good.

I have 2 12" kickers cvrs and a 600 watt amp. These cars don't require that much with the hatch style. Dont over do it. My **** is to loud for me sometimes and I bought the whole thing off clist for 75$ with full wiring. Look into your options. Good luck.

After you find what components you want, I would check eBay as well. There's lots of 3rd party vendors on there selling new items. I bought my head unit on there brand new, lowest price on the internet!

I have your info for your custom sub box in line to make
I am sorry I told you when we talked I am running 4 weeks out on orders for F Body stuff and close to 8 on Corvette and Viper stuff right now. Its been 20 days since your orignal email to me. I just had alot of orders in front of you that had to be made first. We make product for customers as its ordered and I do not make it a habit of bumping someone up in line with others waiting.

Had a customer buy a Pioneer 930 on EBAY a few weeks ago to save 20.00
He got it and was promised the 100.00 rebate
Pioneer turned him down on the rebate(so now he is 80.00 higher than what we would have been) and now his radio is not working. HE called me asking how he can get the radio fixed. I told him to contact the place who sold it to him as I could not help him since we did not sell the products to him.
He told me they were not authorized dealers and there was no warranty on the unit from Pioneer since it was an EBAY sale as well.
So now he sets with a 575.00 paperweight having to either buy a new one or pay Pioneer to fix it.
This is not the first person I have had have this issue.
Just be careful when buying on EBAY with unauthorized dealers.

I usually don't buy warranties on my stuff though, never had anything break that I couldn't fix myself (knock on wood). Personally, it was worth it to me to save a few bucks.

I run all Phoenix Gold mids,highs, and amps in my 98 camaro only thing not pg is my sub and it's an Alpine type R 10". The phoenix ti series sounds awesome and at a great price point. If you need any help picking you can call our shop. I'm not a vendor yet since I'm new to the ls car scene I suppose I should look into signing up.
