Alright, its about that time for presents and i am looking for a system for my 1966 Coupe. I am wondering what size speakers you can put in the doors in front and if i can fit two 6x9's in the rear. I am also wondering if i put subs in the trunk(i was thinking about 2 10" or 2 12" Rockfords) if there would be a lot of vibration. I thought i read somewhere that people had problems with vibration in the early stangs. I am choosing between head units that i found that i like the most-Kenwood Excelon KDC-X879 and a JVC KD-AR3000 ARSENAL (both cheap on ebay). also if anyone has one of these head units tell me how you like them. any help is appreciated.

Yes i already posted this in Sound & Shine but it doesnt hurt to ask here too since you own early mustangs.
 
Well you can put anything you want as long as your willing to pay for it or build it. Check out this website http://jr.stangnet.com/mustang.htm

This guy did a great job. I plan to do alot of the same stuff to mine. As for the sizes. The rear package tray can fit 2-3 6x9's. Get in your trunk and look underneath the package tray, youll see 3 6x9 holes. As for the doors? You can fit some small speakers in them but I would build you own kick panels like on the website or buy them. Alot of companys sell them. The only other speaker is in the dash. Its like a 7x3 or something. Different companys make different versions. Theres one thats got 2 small speakers instead of one large one. Im planning on using Infinity Kappa's all the way around on mine. Alot of people like Focal's also(way to expensive for me). Im gonna get some 6 inch componet sets for my custom kick panels, different dash speaker(the 2 smaller speaker version), 2 6x9's in the package tray and a single 12 in the trunk. For my sub I plan to use a speaker made by a guy localy named Toby(Team Toby). There subs are awesome Iv got a single 10 with a 100 watt 90$ Kenwood amp in my firebird and it sounds better than most of my friends systems. Well hope this helps you out. Check out that website, that guy did alot of kick ass stuff on his car.
 
Hey stephen4785 thanks a lot for the response. I think i will get two 10in subs in the trunk and 2 or maybe 3 6x9's in the package tray and check out that guys website for ideas for the doors. thanks again.
