Our 1968-1976 Corvette Kicker Stereo Kit includes a radio, a dash speaker, rear 6x9 speakers, an amplifier, an amplifier wiring kit, the option to add a subwoofer, and 25 feet of speaker wire. This 1968-1976 Corvette Kicker Stereo Kit is ideal if kick panel speakers are not available for your vehicle or if you want to keep your car as original or stealth as possible. With this Kicker stereo kit, you choose the radio that best fits your needs and requirements. From there, we offer the choice between Kicker CS speaker and Kicker KS speakers. In many cases, which speakers you choose depends on whether or not you have an amplifier as the KS speakers do need an amplifier in order to really get what you pay for. In this instance, because an amplifier is included in the kit, you have the freedom to choose between the two. The CS is going to be brighter and more "in your face" while the KS is going to be more smooth, warm, and balanced like many home theater speakers. The KS are a little bit more expensive but we recommend upgrading with this kit and confident you will like the way they sound.
Next, we get to the amplifiers for our 1968-1976 Corvette Kicker Stereo Kit. For the base amplifier in this kit we offer a Kicker CX series 300 watt 4 channel amp along with three different 5 channel options. The CX 600 watt 5 channel is basically the same as the 4 channel, it just adds the extra 300 watts of power and channel for the subwoofer. The Kicker KX series, 800 watt amp provides more than enough clean, amazing sounding power. Finally, we do offer the Rockford mini 1000 watt 5 channel amp because of its compact size and overall value. For a 1000 watt amp of its caliber and the $599.99 retail price point, you just can't go wrong.
We offer the option to add a loaded subwoofer enclosure to fill in the bottom end of your music to give you true high quality, high end audio experience. There are three loaded enclsoures that we offer. The 10" Kicker Comp C is a good qualty subwoofer that will get the job done for most customers. It comes in a truck box to save room in the trunk so that you still have plenty of room for storage. The 10" Comp RT is an upgrade from the Comp C and is also a low-profile woofer. The Comp RT enclosure comes with a passive radiator for increased output but without the port noise that can come from a vented enclosure. Last is the 12" Comp R. The Kicker Comp R is designed to be a SQL or sound quality woofer and is designed to give you accurate bass response at all listening levels. The Comp R will definitely perform at high volume to ensure that you still hear the bass even when driving down the highway with the windows down. That being said, it does not have to shake the ground at a stop light either. If you want it to, sure it can, but that's not what the Comp R is designed for.
