you ask and you shall recieve. however, some of this setup is being reworked at the moment. the purple (US Amps) amp has been sold, the kicks are being redone, the mtx amp is now gonna be used for the comps, and the sub is going to be powered by an Ample Audio A240 amps (mmmm, 800 watts).
Here's mine, people don't like Sony, but I like my setup none-the-less so those who diss Sony.

Ya, it's wierd, but I don't own a camaro and I don't think that anyone would want a picture of my Mazda3 on the site....lol. TC Holliday
I HAD A....
89 Camaro RS 2.8L 5-speed
Gun metal Grey
The Camaro has been sold...
I am kinda sorta looking for a new one if its what I want....Gunmetal drop top manual 350 iroc if possible excellent condition....
And this box has the silver sub in it, I'm working on a new one now. This box came out of the back of my old s-10 and works for now. I also have the box down in the well pointing towards the hatch. It hits way harder than when pointed at the window, I'm putting the sub in the same position in my new box.
the R12 is insane. i love the amount of bass i get from it. i was giving it around 300 watts before with the mtx, and it was pretty nice. i should have a new Ample Audio A240 (200x2@4, 400x2@2) in soon, and at around 800 watts, my car will not be able to handle any more. quality, not quantity. if you get one of these, you will be more than content.
Originally posted by THEISENATOR Hey CAMp3RO, are you happy with the bass you get from one sub, or do you wish you had two? I am trying to debate wither to get one or two subs.
I know this wasn't towards me, but right now I just have 1 12" running 250w to it. and I CAN'T stand anymore with rap, rock even after like 5 min. gets to hurt.
yeah i am going to be rebuilding them and try to tuck them in a little more, but I'm not going to sacrafice imaging for just an inch or two of legroom.
ok that "rockin iroc" has to be the gayest thing and lamest thing i have ever seen.. i mean it wouldnt be as bad if that "thing" on the hood was not there. and whatsup with that sitcker on the back bumper? might as well put a " FEAR THE ****** " sticker there as well and maket the whole car complete..
i sent that pic you posted to beaterz.com .. i hope they use it. thats one ghetto *** car.
ahahahhaahhahah
allright smart a** if you had a clue you would know the hood and the bumper are logo's of rockford fosgate when you have 30+ trophies and are haveing major car audio asking to sponser you then go ahead and chime back in idiot
thing is i dont waste thousands of $ on just a sound system.. i really dont think the whole block needs to listen to what im listening to. nor do i need an abnoxious amount of volume to attract girls.
but im sure you do.. i mean you must get TONS of girls with that really cool hood, and the sticker on the back must scare all the fast cars away!!!
However.. i do like music, my tahoe has a very clean system with DVD, NAV, PS2, 10 disk changer, 2 subs, digital cap, 2 sets of RF components and a set of 4x6's... it suits my needs when we take road trips to go to our house on the river(colorado river).
now when it comes to sports cars.. i dont see the need to waste money on a system when i can spend it on more useful things.
thats great you win trophies.. yay.. what does a trophy do for you? nothing.. it sits there and collects dust. yay big whoop. but thats me.. you must be bored you have nothing else to do out in Maine.
wow.. what a great "in-expensive" hobby to have.. to blow thousands of $$$ on something to make you deaf, looks gay, and is ugly as hell.. the system would have been better in a more appealing car. then i might not flame as hard.

yeah... im sooooo jealous... i want a big animal on my hood so i look cool too!!!!... awww come on... cant i have the really threatening bumper sticker too?? please??? that would be sooo awesome, and it would strike almost as much fear into people as my full length ****** does.

What do you put all your money into? Everyone has a hobby, stereos is his. I myself like the setup. Why spend thousands of $$ on an engine and go fast parts? That's a hobby too. And doin all that installation sh*t to his car, he could do other peoples and make HELLA money...have you ever seen the costs of custom installs like that? And what's a more appealing car? A civic or sumthin? I'd sure as hell like to see a more appealing car than a Camaro Iroc.

Uhh, get a life man. No need to be a troll. So what if you dont like the stickers or paint, ITS NOT YOUR CAR!! Damn, mind your own freakin business!
Tahoe? I used to live in Lake Tahoe, 6 blocks from california.....walked to my babysitters w/ my parents..but thats besides the point! If the vehicle is anything like the city, its a POS (at least where we lived.)
And one more thing....you DID flame his system, not just the hood and the bumper, right here

You can thank me later for correcting you. So are we done with this or do you wanna go a few more rounds?

Hey Rockin IROC, I love the system, but I dont like the paint job, its a wonderful black, but its too colorful. And the Fosgate Symbol on the hood might as well say, "steal my system" on it. I am not one for stickers or advertisements on my car, cuz then people know whats in it and want to steal it, or you give away ur secret with it. However, I like the custom stuff under the center vents. I think the system is bad A$$, but too much stuff outside. Great Iroc, get 16 inch Iroc Rims. I like it!!!
HEY PIMPROD THANX FOR THE INPUT. BUT DID YOU SEE WHERE I'M FROM I LIVE IN MAINE I DON'T THINK PEOPLE AROUND HERE KNOW HOW TO STEAL CARS THEIR TO BUSY WITH THEIR COUSINS HA HA HA I'M ORIGANALLY FROM JERSEY AROUND THE NEWARK AREA CAR JACKING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD SO MAINE HASN'T SCARED ME YET. MY ALARM SEEMS TO SCARE THE LOCALS AWAY TOO
wow, I go on vacation for the weekend and i missed all this ..... some people need to shut up every now and then, because you don't see us going into the carb and tech/engine board and telling people they should not spend all their time and money making their cars fast. Wow, if he has a tahoe with tahoe with DVD, NAV, PS2, 10 disk changer, 2 subs, digital cap, 2 sets of RF components and a set of 4x6's, then post pics and leave everyone else alone. I hate people that just because they hate something else that someone likes to do (and sponsored by) they got to critisize with the upmost of nonsense and immature 3rd gradish remarks. I give this thread a good 2 more days of arguing before its locked.
On the lighter note, i have a guestion rkniroc. How tall are you? lol. I have a stick mysef and being 6'2" & 155 lbs, i come close to hitting my knee on the bottom of the dash from the clutch with the seat close to the rear most position. Those horns don't get in the way really, do they?
~Tim
P.S. I would like to have trophies for my car audio. Collect dust or not, it would be nice.
