Looks sweet

1. How is the Amps power distributed?

2. What is the cost, if you don't mind mentioning.

By power distributed do you mean whats its power output
Its 100x4. So 100watts rms to each speaker up front then the rear is bridged to the sub for 200+ watts rms.

I believe rob spent around 1200 or so for all the stuff. Feel free to PM me with any questions about installs pricing equpiment etc

Elemental Designs is here in Newton, IA I just found out the other day. They seem to build quality stuff!

Side note: I strongly dislike big stereos in Corvettes, but that doesn't look too bad!

The setup is just the right size not crazy bass

Even before we connected the sub, rob noted it sounded 100x better then stock more bass cleaner highs etc

The only problem with the sub is it adds crazy weight to the car.
