im looking at a 5th gen gts. is it true that they have a factory 10 speaker sound system? could someone give me the link to that one site with the specs?

some of them came with a 'system 10' stereo. It was nice for its day (10 channel 220 watt amp, 3in1 head unit, great staging, etc) but if you want to do any upgrades to it, its a major pain in the ass. You basically need to rip the whole thing out and start fresh.

www.henryvo.com is good for 5th gens.

Just like Deep said. if you want to upgrade the stock amp is just to complicated to work with. i personally have a 90 Gts. with two amps running it.
1 for the sub (15"rockford)
1 for the doors
and the other 8 run off the deck

the stock one just collects dust underneath the seat

Seems like a very good deal, I'd go have a look. Just watch the tailpipe when you start it up, they have a history of bad valve seals. You'd be looking for any smoke at startup when the car is cold. Other than that, just watch for rust in the rear 1/4s.

remember arizona has nearly no rust. my car smokes at start up when its cold. could it be the bleed valves?
