Re: Time for a system
If you have some lower end 5.25 Coaxial speakers, you can usually get away with running off the deck. I find that 6x9's sound terrible without an amp though. They just need power to sound good.

Re: Time for a system
Here's what I would do in your shoes. Simple and easy on the wallet
5.25 Coaxial speakers in kickpanels single 10 inch sub behind seat Profile 65Wx2 Amp for speakers Profile 300Wx1 Amp for subwoofer Speakers are coaxials, simply because they sound good and won't break the bank. 5.25's will give you great stereo imaging up front and they will get LOUD. A single 10 inch sub is PLENTY for one of these trucks. You brain will turn to jello before you get it cranked and it will be unenjoyable to even listen to music that way. You can even show off a little with a 10. Stick in sealed box and it wont take up much space. Trust me, I've rode in little nissan trucks that had two 12's and big amps. It's very pointless. The thing they are good for is showing off and bragging rights. It's not even close to enjoyable. You just don't need this much subwoofer in any truck. Profile amps, these are a great value. At this point you just have two amps, so you should be able to find a place for them, either under the seat or unused space behind the seat, or a mix of the two. The 2 channel amp is not very big either. Simple, cost effective, doesn't take up too much space, and it'll sound great for the money you spent. Thats would I personally would do anyway. |

Re: Time for a system
placement of the speakers has a lot to do with how much you hear...Im in the process of building a custom fiberglass top box for on top of my sub box that will aim the 4x10s right at the back of my head and the passenger head...

Re: Time for a system
Wow, either the mic on the camera goes to crap when the subs hit, or you've got a major issue...

Re: Time for a system
lmao yea i doubt any camera will get a good enough sound of bass lol. The subs sound good the bass is clear and perfect not to deep as i thought it would be either its good....now my problem is the speacker i blew almost evey tweeter for sum reason..i connected a 4x10 i had save hire it up to about 40 not THAT loud and lowered it down...went back up and it started sounding like crap.....i think ima have to go with that 4 channel amp offer u guys have told me to do.
