    what amp should i buy?

    Why not.. Stick with Alpine? The 12" type S subs are rated at 200wRMS I believe (my son has a pair of 'em). Look for an Alpine MRD-M300 to power the pair. Nice Class-D amp, easy to set up and lots of headroom. It'll thump. It's 300watts RMS (but the specimen you receive will be tested...

    Anyone ever remove the rear speakers/amp box???

    Nope The black box thingy is an amp rack and sealed speaker enclosure. The speakers are mounted INSIDE the black box thingy. If you take it out, you'll lose your speakers (and your amps).

    JL Audio Stealth Box

    Okay.... best negotiated price I could find on a 10w3v2-d6 was $189.00 - that's without the stealthbox...just a bare sub. If YOU can find the loaded stealthbox for $200 for the mustang, I'll buy 'em from you all day long at $250.

    quick question

    Wires for tweeters... Dave, I forgot to answer your question earlier ;-) The wires for the high-range speakers enter the mach460 unit at the top. I don't think you can even access the wires unless you drop the entire 460 unit (and be careful - after you removed the 6 nuts holding the...

    Rear speaker and amp mounting question...

    Are you starting from scratch? If so, see this thread: Recent thread on full stereo install For pics on how *I* did it, check this link! There are smaller amps out there (physical size wise) other than what I used. I just happen to be a brand-bigot :)

    rear seat removal..

    it's 20 seconds :) feel under the front lip of each bucket - right in the center of each side of the seat you'll feel a hard piece of plastic - those are your two latches. Using flat blade screwdriver, push on the front of the latch (push gently towards the rear of the vehicle - it only...

    sound question

    by plastic cover.... do you mean the big plastic housing under the rear deck? That *IS* your Mach460 system. It's not a cover. It's a sealed unit that has 2 midbass and 2 tweeters + 2 amps. If you aren't using the Mach 460, you can take it out (I did :nice: - and replaced the entire...

    How to remove door panels??

    Almost perfect... But on the 2001, you probably won't have clips at the bottom of the door panel, just some guides that drop in the door - so rather than pulling OUT first then up, simply lift the panel up (after, of course, removing the press pin on the front of the door, and removing the 2...

    cheapest price on alpine 9813

    That's easy.... Do you want a warranty? If so, the *only* place you can order online is Crutchfield. If you do *not* want a factory warranty, then I'd try a number of places like ikesound or thezeb - or some other such place. Personally, I wouldn't settle for no warranty. BTW -...

    What Component Speakers do you Recommend??

    Could you shed some light on the "theoretical max power output"? I'd really like to understand....because it seems to me that you're mixing input and output in your calculations... You're assuming a 12V input (correct), but that 12V does NOT see a 4ohm impedance....it sees the impedance of the...

    My buddy paid a near-Cobra price for a Mach 1

    Yep they are! I flew from Jersey to Tampa 3 weeks ago and picked up my Mach-1 for $22,800 - that was when the rebate was $2,500 - now it's $3,000, hence the lower price. But..... I got my choice of any color except DSG - but I wanted azure blue, and that's what I drove home :banana...
