Upon
casual inspection, Donald Kaplan’s Corvette convertible looks like any other
2000 C5. But in fact, there’s a whole lot more hiding under the silver skin.
Crammed into crevices and almost every little nook and cranny is a plethora
of new technology that makes Kaplan’s Corvette safer and more fun to drive
- and more inclined to stay in the hands of the owner than to become a prize
of some car thief. Kaplan’s C5 is full of all sorts of aftermarket add-ons,
as installed by Sounds Good Stereo in Woodland Hills, CA.
According
to Goren, the goal for the audio system was something that had great sound
quality yet could be controlled easily from the driver’s seat. Aware of the
Corvette’s complex multiplexing electrical system, Goren decided to avoid
any contact with it. For that reason, the shop installers used their own wiring
and left the factory wiring alone.
