    Amp under rear seats??

    That's primarily the reason I'm still debating putting them there. The reason I was thinking of doing it is for a stealth approach, but I'll probably do something like this behind the rear seats:

    Best Coaxials

    Coaxils are not neccesarily worse than components, but you can get better imaging from components than coaxils if they're properly set up. Here's some to look into: Alpine Type R JL VR/XR Eclipse Focal Access Eclipse CDT(might not be enough midbass, mostly used for rear fill) CDT...

    what do i need for my install?

    I don't know about the hack saw, but you'll need something to heat up the shrink tubing, some wire crimpers, maybe a socket set. That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

    Amp under rear seats??

    I'm thinking of putting 2 amps under the rear seats, one on each side. They're right about having enough airflow over the amps to dissipate the heat, though. The way I'm going to make mine is to build an enclosure for them and run a few fans to the side panel with the armrest and get air in...

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

    Well, since the speakers are 4 ohm, you'd be running a 4ohm load per channel on the amp. The soundstream amps are great quality, and would be perfect for your application. If you want to run fronts off an amp, you want to run one per channel, so it's still in stereo, not in mono. You can...

    Kenwood amp question

    If you're talking about this one: http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.jsp?c=1&b=g&catoid=-8865&qp=0&oid=70767 then it would be overkill for the sub, if you're just running one. Also, don't pay attention to the max rating, pay attention more to the RMS rating. If you get another punch, then you...

    Losing subs....buying new speakers

    Joker's right about the RE8's. Feed a couple about 125-150 RMS, and you should be happy. They have a low fs, and a couple tuned to about 35-40Hz, should sound pretty good. With replacement size speakers, you'll never get the low-end you'll get from the 10's. Your best bet would be to get a...

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

    If you don't exceed the recommended RMS rating by too much, you'd have less chance of blowing them by underpowering them. If you're just looking for a decent, budget amp, then soundstream's edge series are on sale at millionbuy.com: This one should be fine for what you want. You'll need to...

    Blown Speakers, what to do?

    Well, the 300x2 amp is really 150x2 RMS, which is what you'd be running it at. The components will be run off this amp, while the rear speakers will be run off the deck. For the adapters, I can send you a template: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=400890&highlight=speaker+bracket or...

    Blown Speakers, what to do?

    I'd recommend getting an amp, also if you plan on running components. Components don't always sound better than coaxils, but they usually have higher powerhandling and you can get much better imaging if they're installed correctly. If you want loud, then I'd recommend the Viper 550.2...

    system in a hatch (any help appreciated)

    I also recommend getting an amp. A nice 4-channel amp: http://www.millionbuy.com/souega4160.html will do fine. If you want better bass response out of the speakers, putting some deadener behind the speaker will help get rid of some of the vibrations, but completely sealing your door will help...

    What do i need to do some fiberglassing?

    You don't really need a mold to use fiberglass, but the mold is usually foam that can be dissolved when finished, can't remember which type, exactly. For the basic fiberglass box, you can get anything you need at Wal-Mart or a boating supply store will definetly have it. Here's a site to...

    Anyone got a trunk setup like this?

    I've seen a couple mustangs with that setup. One was the sub in the spare tire well, and the other had a couple of amps. I'll try to get pics if I can. Bill

    Amp Choices

    That's what I thought. I'd recommend soundstream, they make quality amps. If you watch your gains, you could give them about 150RMS and be safe: http://www.millionbuy.com/souega2300.html

    How much was the 2100 when it was on sale?

    I agree, but if you go through ikesound.com, you don't get the factory warranty. If you have sounddomain.com price-match ikesound's, then you get the warranty.
