Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of my small block Chevy. Sometimes however, long trips on the highway at 4,000rpm gets kind of old. Thats why you need something to break the monotony.

The traditionalists would have my head if they heard me say this but, I really appreciate a clean stereo in an older car. When I bought my Camaro it was loaded with cheap speakers from the auto parts store and was strung together by household wire nuts. This of course had to be changed. Years ago I replaced it all with some nicer stuff but still wasn't that happy with the setup.

I recently acquired a complete system from Kicker for the Camaro. It is the same system I have in my truck and I am really excited to install it in the Camaro.

The system will be 4 mid to high range speakers and a subwoofer. The way the speakers are balanced, it's not the boom boom that shakes the car next to its windows. Its just a well rounded sound. Like most stereos it will take a lot of work. I want to run new wires to all 4 speakers which means removing the seats and carpet.

Before you attack this project make sure you have the right tools. Here is a quick list to get you started.

Volt meter/test light
wire strippers
wire crimpers
assortment of insulated connectors
shrink tubing
