Well, I'm ripping :-) out my C5 installation. While I had used PAC's OEM1 with my Bose speakers, I didn't realize that all my speakers didn't have built-in amps, and those that did required a boosted line-out signal. It sounds so bad that I decided to shell out some $ to have a couple of McIntosh amps and a/d/s speakers installed. So much for my own handy work, I'll stick to wrenching on the drive train.

I have a similar setup in my '91 LX stang (blown R302 stroker, T56, 13" Baer's, et al) and the empeg sounds great (when parked) w. 256 bitrate music.
