    sweet 'vette, Gary; I hadn't heard any info on a new C6 Z06; in fact, all that I've read in magazines have said that there won't be one; that there is only the basic model and then the Z51 (which, I believe, is just a suspension upgrade); a guy at my church just got a C6; very nice......


    SVT Lightning......well, ok, those are pretty cool......I just like Dodges and Chevy's more 'an fords.....in fact, most anything.....lol

    Except, I DO like their F-250, GT, and seems there's something else.....lol

    Seems like a lot of disussions about speakers are evolving into car-talk lately;)

    Nice to see another 'Vette guy on the Polk board! With the exception of the two years following the birth of my son, I've had a Corvette in the garage since I got my driver's license.

    The C6 isn't growing on me yet though, looks-wise.... Mechanically it's great..

    Oh well. Can't afford one anyway! :p


    Jason

    P.S. I'm quite fond of my RT800i's and RT55i's too, BTW.

    Thanks....Back of my house....I ain't telling:D I removed them cause the speakers are standing on tile....The spikes I guess are better suited for carpet......

    I got the RTi10s and I wish the speakers would stand without the outrigger arms as well. I can see where the spikes would go in the grouted area. Makes sense. I hopefully will have my CSi5 by next month.
    What is the fastest you have driven your Vette? If you said it I may have missed it.:D

    Ascend seems to make insanely nice built speakers for the money. The crossovers alone are about the size of the speakers...amazing looking/built speakers. Would love to hear a pair...

    www.ascendacoustics.com

    Sid - I just bought 'em, 340CMT's across the front, replacing my RT800i's and CS400i, and the CBM 170's for the surrounds. Not even close I'm afraid. Not that the RT800i's are bad. I did a direct a/b comparison when I got the 340's to my RT800i's. For tone, very close, for soundstage, depth, clarity, neutrality, Ascend wins easily. My RT800i's and CS400i are now retired from the main area, and going to the family room.

    Too bad it doesn`t attract the women like the vet !!
