Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Let's try this again! The truck just wasn't doing it for me, being lifted, mud tires were really loud, etc. So here we are with another try. For now, I'm going to try to limit what I do for performance upgrades, until the sound system is rolling. Maybe just a CAI and minor bolt-ons, but it already has 400+ HP, and it's actually pretty quiet for a sports car

I have almost all the pieces that will be the first iteration of a system.

DSP. Arc Audio PS8 w/PSC
Amp. Arc Audio 1200.6
Amp. Helix SPXL1000
Subs. 2 Dark Audio NKO-12's
MB. Audiofrog GB60
MR. Audiofrog GB25
TW. To be determined...

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Very nice upgrades! Would be my first two as well. Tint, and get rid of the gold!

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Thanks Daniel! Supposed to be near 70 this wkend. I'm hoping to slam out some sound deadening. I'm waiting on my Frog GB60's and a PAC unit, and I figured no matter what else happens, it's all got to be sound deadened. I bought a pair of those TBI HDSS tweets from Will on diyma, so I may try them first. I'd like to go all Frog GB, but a lot of guys are going with the Morel Piccolo, or the Scan 3004's with the frogs. Although Babs is down with his GB10's, so I'm really torn on the tweets right now. I certainly can't afford to buy them all, so like everything else, I'm reading as much as I can about all of them! One awesome thing is that my stock tweets are encapsulated in a sail panel, so I could try a couple different options before I actually attempt a glassin project similar to your idea, and Chad's ZL1 pods...

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
I have an early 5th-gen Camaro (2010)
And it is about the noisiest damn car I have ever driven. You can hear every single relay clicking and popping (constantly).
Road noise is absolutely atrocious. Engine noise is really loud. Squeaks, and moans. We got it with 8k miles in mint condition, and it has been noisy from day one.
My old ass diesel truck goes down the road quieter than that Camaro. Not to mention the fact that the Camaro is one huge blind-spot. Visibility out of that thing is terrible.
I hate that car! (our Camaro) I hope yours, being much newer, is not as loud as ours! Yours definitely looks cool with the all black theme going on.

It is Noico 80 mil under 1/4" ccf

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Noico is definitely a great product. Sticks well, works well, and the price, can't beat it!

Lmao - I don't know, but these license plate frames are hard to get. You have to work at ISP to get them, so if this saves me from a ticket or five, it's well worth having!

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Thanks bro! I certainly can't complain. My anxiousness, plus knowing my procrastinating ways, pushed me into letting someone else do the basic install. This has given me a little time to think about the exterior and performance upgrades, as well as lighting, beauty panels, etc. Otherwise, this car would have 100k miles, and I'd be thinking of trading it for something else, before I even got this far on it. I'm hoping this satiates me for a few years, and I can enjoy the other parts of having a beautiful, fast ride that sounds awesome. Maybe one of these days in the near future, it will be show worthy, or at least nice enough to join you guys at a GTG or two, so you guys can help me dial it in! For now, I really appreciate all of the help and support i've received in getting this far, and I'm really anxious to hear this thing with the basic tune that Benny Z is going to put on it!

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
You don't need a system to go to a GTG. Hell, Al even hosts them without a system installed. :) But now you have no excuse.

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Looking good man! Glad Benny is gonna help you out with the tune. I'd really like to hear his BMW sometime.

Me too. I have to drive the party bus this weekend, but if I get a chance, I may try to swing up to Bloomington to SQology and listen to it, and a few other cars. Its about an hour drive, so I might be able to do it...

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
Well, the proper air space needed for my subs sealed, did not present itself in a manner of being able to squeeze the box through the trunk opening of my car, even if split into 2 separate boxes. So, after a conversation with Andy, I will now be going IB, which is the first I've heard of with GB12D4's...My trunk has 11.3 cubic feet of space, so I'm hoping this turns out awesome, or I may have to switch subs...

Re: Bobby K's 2013 Camaro 2SS/RS
I shot a message to Andy, but haven't heard back yet. I was curious because I haven't seen anyone else run them IB either.
