Hello Everyone

Thats a pretty good and complete setup, covers all the bases. What about sound dedener, I get a little more interior noise than I would like. Whats good for killing some fo the road noise.

Is anyone familar with the trunk in Crown Vics? The trunk has a lower area with a sort of shelf that sits about at the sam level as the rear seat. I want my subs to sit up on the shelf so I can still put all my crap in the trunk. How hard is it to build a custom box to fit where I want it to?

 

I'll take some pics tomorro and get some measures too.

Whats the advantage of having two subs over one? I was thinkig about mounting one sub in the middle of the shelf in the trunk with the amp off to the side.

While I was reading some old posts I came across one about a ported box? with a hole throught the rear deck? Could I do something like that with a center mounted sub? I think that would be interesting with a custom enclousure and the rear deck speakers on either side, but then again maybe I'm crazy and don't have any clue what I'm talking about.

I'm also totally open to changing the speaker sizes and custom mounting them. I'm always up for a challenge, and I want the best speakers that work with eachother if I'm going to replace all teh speakers anyways.

As I understand it different size speakers are better sounding for diferent frequencies. So what are the best speakers to work with each other to give the full sound range.

 

Easy is always nice. The only reason I'm thinking all custom is because that's how I always think. I want to keep the car looking stock and only do a few small engine mods. That make me want to focus my attention on the interior and to me the sound sytem is the biggest part of that.

I'm just crazy, always have been. Maybe I should listen to you guys and do it simple, follow the KISS rule..... I just don't know.

I'm not sure about my door speakers they are really really small. I just can't see a decent sounding speaker fitting in the stock door location. How do you measure a speaker? I'm curious to found out what they are.

 

I don't think that the police cars and civillian cars have the same speakers.

So heres what I want to know, what speakers would you use if you were starting with a completley new set up? I just want to know what the best combo of speakers would be.

 

So I think I've decided on a hu, maybe. This one was recomended and I like it. The only thing I want to know is will it have all the options that will allow me to upgrade everything later? I don't want to have to buy another hu later unless the first on breaks.

The only thing that I'm debating about is alpines new ipod adapter. It looks like a very slick set up. Is the ipod adapter with this hu going to be any worse other than the fact that you can't contol songs at the hu?

what are eq bands?

I do like the looks of that hu, and it seems to have most features I would want. The price is great. I bought a hu for my last car from best buy and it was more expensive after the adapter and it had less features.

 

So I finally got my lazy but out into the cold and measured up my trunk. The upper shelf area measures:

44" long 18" deep and 11 1/2" tall.

 

So it is possible to fit the subs and amp in that space. I don't want to take up too much space in my trunk because I haul way to much crap.

So what would you guys suggest? should I build my own box, I'm geussing there isn't anything premade that will fit. What size subs ahould I use?
