    sorry if already addressed, but anyone with sudden power loss?

    A couple of times I've had the engine just about quit on my '05 GT when shifting down to 3rd or 4th to pass on a highway; it didn't stall, but there was a deadly pause. I had it checked by the dealer, then decided I was revving too high in between gears, cutting power by the rev limiter...

    Pics of speakers inside door

    damnisityellow- I don't think I understand your point... I suggested using the existing front door subwoofer location for mids (?). And delurker, you're absolutely right about the cavern inside the door panel; I hadn't found it yet but when I replaced the 8" "subs" with 6 1/2" mids, it was a...

    2005 sound

    I'm guessing from the description that you're replacing the Shaker 500: good call. Speakers first for the most bang for the buck... actually there's a lot more room in the door panels than you'd think. You can easily replace the upper components with 5 x 8's or 6 x 9's with minor, if any...

    1/2 MDF versus 3/4 MDF for sub box...

    You may be able to get away with 1/2" if the box is ported; if it's a sealed box, invest in the 3/4" as it will be more rigid and produce tighter bass. IMO

    cars manufactured later have the fixes built-in in many instances. don't fix it if it ain't broke. IMO

    Need pics/ideas on how get boxes...

    I'm only using one 10" sub, but the way I mounted it might work for you... use sealed boxes (they take up 1/2 the space as ported) and bungee them in rather than mount them permanently. This way they can be moved if you need either more storage or to get to the spare tire. Would work for...

    94 Mach 460 Problem...Strange Sounds...Help!

    If you're in a big hurry, buy one that fits and stick it in (but get the pair, when you have time replace the other side as well). IMO

    Custom Sub Boxes

    And recommended size varies by subwoofer manufacturer; be sure to read the suggestions. (For example, ported boxes must be significantly larger than sealed, and with sealed the more the power the smaller the box). And JC3052 is exactly right about the 3/4" MDF. Good luck.

    Pics of speakers inside door

    Haven't been in here in awhile, but thought I'd weigh in (BTW, the Sound Shop forum is alive and well, contrary to popular belief: it's just that the default viewing option displays only one day's posts and I think a lot of good discussion is lost because people think it's dead - change the...

    change of plans

    Will the new head unit power the speakers, or are you planning to tie into the existing amps? You shouldn't have any trouble if you get the wiring harness adapter (from Crutchfield, or BB or CC) and then use existing amps/speakers. Head unit won't matter unless amps are on-board.

    Is there a big difference in SQ for Sub Sizes? 10, 12, 15, and 15+

    O.K. correct me if I'm wrong, but... did you come up with the 4000W RMS rating by multiplying 1000 watts per sub by 4? Because RMS has to do with amplifier output and speaker maximum input. And then there's continuous RMS (true) vs. peak RMS (very highly exaggerated). So what the subs can...

    shaker 500 or 1000

    The 1000 gets you two subs and and amp... you could do much better with aftermarket. IMO

    A ground is a ground right?

    Yes, you could, but make sure you use the same guage cable for ground as you do for power... it looks like the terminals on your box won't support very heavy guage wire, tho. IMO

    Which head unit?

    ROFL... LOVE car amps that aren't made for car conditions! No offense, DMDYNE, but you guys survive on the extended warranties for such situations, right? Not CC, but BB tried to sell me an extended on a Rockford Fosgate Punch 'cuz it might overheat in the summer.... when I declined I...

    How many subs do I need?

    Two Type X should do this I think, Anybody suggest some good brands of subs? I've skimped out on a lot of things to really go all out for some nice subs and good amp.. What are some really high end brands? NOW you're talkin'... Check www.mcintoshlabs.com I think most would agree that...
