Default Seeking input on audio system for 07 SS

I'm awful with car audio it's just one thing I do not know much about... being bored I was browsing around today and stumbled on this deal at BB. I'm thinking it's most likely overpriced, but the thing is I can not do an install and would rather have it done with a lifetime guarantee (per this deal) and have geeksquad install it. I have a stock system right now so I guess i'll have to upgrade the cabin speakers at some point but as far as keeping my head unit and just having a really solid system what do you guys think?

I actually work p/t at a Geeksquad and will tell you Kicker is pretty good stuff from what I have seen. Our installer did a terrific job on a remote start for my wife's Trailblazer. I work in the Geeksquad computer area but I know some of the younger guys run Kicker stuff in their cars and they say it really "kicks"....no pun intended. LOL

As far as "overpriced" YES car audio (no matter where you buy it) has approximately a 40-50% mark up. Its one of the most heavily marked up merchandise lines after accessories.

That will give you some thump in the trunk!
It's the lower level kicker subs, but I have kicker subs been in there since the car was new, almost 9 years and still work good

So Tom it would be cool with the stock unit and no aftermarket indash? Most likely going to try to get to best buy this week and get them in there!

You will need a remote volume control for the sub amp
Make sure that amp is remote capable and that its included.
When I put a sub in the Camaro I put the remote level control inside the centre console so I didn't have to drill a hole in the dash.
