This is my stereo page, mostly for pictures and shiezin, but you get the idea.
The camaro has no system, and the formulas resides to be the same as originally purchased back in '02

I'm even considering making my own custom kick panels for some horn tweeters and midranges, as the really blast the highs and mids out. I would make the enclosure come off the factory kickpanel, but make a fiberglass enclosure for the speakers, and aim them towards the listeners ears. I will also most likely run Infinity Kappa two-way 4x6's in the dash, they sound great in my Formula.
I'll also cross them over so they receive no bass, no need with those wicked subs.

This was my '84 Cavalier stereo:

I may take some pictures of my dad's GTO stereo soon too, it's not bad, but it's already hard to hear over the exhaust anyway, so we don't really use it anymore, maybe we'll get rid of it, it has about 300 watt's RMS.

This is the other hobby and talent of mine, that I spend alot of money on. To give you an idea of how expensive good drums are, I spent over 3000$ on that set and the cybmals are worth over a grand. Since I have most of what I want, I usually just buy drum sticks, since they break and get worn down.

My massive drum set, pics didn't come out so good with my cheap digital camera, but you'll get the idea. They are for sale, for $750 Obo. I have some better pics I'll put up.

Wow, Keith, you have done a LOT of work on this car!!!! I like that exhaust system!! Heard it at the cruise night at least a couple of times. Sounds a lot like your dad's Goat! The 3rd-gen F-bodies make great hot rods and can be had for cheap and you know, when these things were designed, they were designed around the original Pontiac V8s, so a 389-400-421-428-455 should fit with some work. Your dad & you both have a couple of kick-ass cars, that's for sure!!

Tks for the comments on my vette, no headers.. she's all stock. Plenty fast for me, besides it can beat most cars already. :) The Firebird looks in great shape, and the GTO is pretty sweet ! Ride Safe ..
