Guys and Gals,
More and more of the SKY owners are getting their SKYs lately so I want to start an after market stereo thread that we can use to centralize information on upgrades. We saw some pics from the Solstice forums on how to remove the door panels and that was real helpful, thanks! I have gone and ordered an upgrade in the components since I bought the el cheapos with my cara nd want to eventually upgrade to a DVD/MP3 Headunit. I went by a Circuit City and they took a look at my car and said oh you have cell phone capability via Onstar...hmm that will not be a fun option to do at this time. Do any of you keep up witht he times on these things? I am in the outs when it comes to headunits these days and as well components, but I did end up purchasing a nice set of Polk (btw go them for $150 shipped 2 day UPS through another site. I think these will look great in my silver graphite car and sound even better.
I am now at the point where I know just throwing them in the car will sound better than what I have stock but I may end up using a small amp for them bc these speakers are rated 100 watts rms. I know also there was belief that GM may have stuck to their adapter and this one would do the trick for after market upgrades. Does anyone out there know fact on this as well? I am willing to upgrade my stereo and take as many pics as possible to show how to do it on the SKY forums, but if anyone has already done so please let us "clueless" people know what you have found or if you have any helpful info please throw it out here! Thanks...
