System setup for a 1988 GTA with Notchback...

Just wondering about some ideas for a sound system for my 1988 GTA. The signature pretty much sums up what it is anyways.

Anyways, I wasn't really looking for anything extremely powerful. Just a typical setup, 2 front speakers, 2 rear speakers, maybe amping the two in back. The tricky part is I want to have 2 10" subwoofers set up, yet I want it to look presentable in the trunk (no enormous box). I was wondering if anyone knows of a custom setup I could try. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. :rockon: :rockon:


***, I love this message board.

That looks nothing like the stock notchbacks though.

Yes, it does NOT look like the GM factory notchback at all. I will try to set up my new Sony Clie PDA w/ built-in digital camera over the weekend so that I can import some photos of my GTA here. So, hopefully on the weekend, I will have some pictures up.

I cannot remember your name, but I know someone that replied has the runners and plenum. What do they do for your car? I have been told to do that, but I'm not sure what I am getting into. What do they add to the car? How much?



Anyways, I *****N love my car though, and I have been given many comments on it, and especially on the factory notchback. Plus, I've been told that only 781 of them were created in Norwood, Ohio.
