Default stereo upgrade?



i also just stripped a parts car i had laying around and have 6 extra speakers too!!

2 10 inch jl 400watt subs
2 5.25 jvc 90watt 2 ways
2 4 inch jvc 75 watts.

i need a box and amp for those tens, would love to mount them under rear seat with that flush box that pretty well keeps them out of view.. and possibly replace my rear door speakers with those 5's,
what areas should i dynamat? what box should i buy? should i buy updated kick panels for the other speakers?

any thoughts on a basic system to include headunit and amps box and kicks and everything would be greatly appreciated.

www.hifisoundconnection.com has a pretty good box that's pretty sharp and not too expensive.. ~120. fits flush under the back seat and made for 2 10's. you might have to make a cut for the magnets to fit. i had to infinity's that i had to do that for. 20 bucks at the local stereo shop.

they make boxes specifically for the weird shaped rear seat area, ive seen a couple, not installed though
here's the latest and greatest from ebay.

and there was even a post on this forum but last updated from a 1 post member in 2004 so i figured i would keep looking.. i want something really clean and still use the area if i need to, plus i don't want people to know it's there if i don't want them to..

I have a MTX thunderform box with two 10's under my back seat. Great bass, fits well, color choices to match interior. Has a strap to hold it in place. Leave seat down all the time and it's not very noticable. I also took out the worthless drink holder for the back seat that was under the center console and put a 4 channel amp in it's place. Have to have a good system.

Eclipse CD deck with sub output
MTX 4 channel amp under console
MTX 2 channel amp under drivers seat for subs
Infinity 6X9 in doors
Infinity components in rear.

Stealth box made a 10' box that was an exact duplicate to my middle seat you pull it out, take off the cover and place it on the box and it looks just like the stock seat its just harder on the butt to sit on but it is still padded. you don't even know its in the truck until you turn up the BASS.. I love it no space lost and no threat of theft. HEHHEHE[sm=coolness.gif]
