    Pick an amp, any amp...

    Well, since you got the dual 4ohm version, you'll need to get an amp that's 1ohm stable, because you'll get a final impedance of either 4ohms or 1ohm, and running the amp at 1ohm, if it's stable will give you more power than at 4. If you want to learn the basics of car audio, I'd recommend...

    help me dynamat!!!

    I took off everything, including the waterguard before I started installing it. It takes some time, just to warn you. I think mine took about 6hrs. each for 2 layers. Be sure to clean and prep the surface before you start laying it down. Also, a heat gun will be very helpful to help get the...

    Magnetic XM Antenna

    There's a guy with a mustang on xmfan.com that has his on his rear deck: http://www.xmfan.com/viewtopic.php?t=18595&highlight=roof+mount -->TWood Or BestTimesNow posts on here and has his setup the same way: http://www.geocities.com/rich35242/Mustang_GT.html

    Which version of the type-R are you getting? The dual 2ohm or dual 4ohm? I'd get the dual 2's, so you can get a 2ohm final impedance: http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html The JL amp is 1ohm stable, but you don't get any more output running it at 1ohm than 2ohms. If you're...

    help with amp......please!!!

    If you're talking about the R.I.P.S., like you said, it makes the same amount of power from 1.5-4ohms, because it has a regulated power supply. It doesn't mean that the front and back speakers have to all be 4ohm speakers, though. If you run 4 ohm speakers in the front, you still get 100w per...

    I'd say the 1200.1 over the Audiobahn. I don't see it on ikesound's site anymore, but sounddomain.com pricematched ike's price, so ask them if they would price match what it was before. You get the factory warranty also, if you go through sounddomian.com

    I'd also recommend the Hifonics BX 1000D.

    If you get the Type-R's, I'd recommend giving each about 400 or more, they're pretty power hungry. That Audiobahn is a pretty expensive amp, depending on how much you want to spend. If you watch your gains, you could power both with a JBL 1200.1. ikesound.com sold them for around 200 I think...

    I agree about US Acoustics. I don't know how much they are underrated, but they'll put out their rated power. thezeb.com had a big sale on them a while ago, but they don't much, anymore. This one: http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/USAUSB4085 would be another one to look at. I'd still get the...

    removing badges

    You could use a heat gun, but you'll have to keep the heat pretty low. I helped my friend take off the s-10 badges on his truck and with a heat gun, it took probably 5 minutes, just because we were working slowly. Like streetstang03 said, a hairdryer will work because it doesn't need to get...

    sub vocals...

    I'd also recommend lowering your crossover point. Joker's right about setting your gains, too. I also wouldn't put your bass boost that high. You're probably clipping the crap out of the signal. One question, did you get the dual 4 or dual 2 ohm version of the L7?

    help with amp......please!!!

    If you want to spend $600, then by all means, go for the JL. I could also recommend a PPI-PCX480, a PG 600.4, avionixx 440.4, TRU T-4100 v2, ARC CXL 4150, among others. MTX, alpine, and RF make nice amps, I know because my MTX was underrated by about 50%. But depending on his budget, he might...

    Auxilury input on Mach 460 HU??

    I just wasn't sure if it would work since he had the in-dash CD changer. I remembered you did it in your setup, but I wasn't sure if you had the indash or not. Looks like it would work after all. Off topic, but for the XM tuner, did you buy the IP-BUS to RCA connector or hack an IP-BUS cable...

    Auxilury input on Mach 460 HU??

    I'd say a PIE connector, but I don't think it would work in your situation. Might just have to go FM modulated. http://www.pie.net/aux_appl_ford.htm#ford
