Nicholas Frazier haha, you'll be lucky to fit the box in the trunk, period, nevermind get the box in the trunk.

josh delaney and the amp ill be using is a jl audio slash v2 1000 does that have hilow inputs or do i need a jl audio adapter

Nicholas Frazier nevermind if it's ported. looking at a minimum of a 6cuft box, iirc there's not even that much space in the trunk.

Nicholas Frazier and that amp is way underpowered for 2 T2s

josh delaney *ford mustang*

josh delaney umm then wat amp do u sugjest

josh delaney the 1000v2 i got says it puts out 1000w to for ohm ill be wireing them down to 2 ohm

Nicholas Frazier well considering that each sub is 1200 RMS (2400 RMS w/ both), one that fits that power. Your biggest problem is space. The way the trunk is designed it makes getting any decent sized box in there.

josh delaney ya i under stand its not my car its a freinds but he wants it sealed and he doent want to spend over 2,300 so i mean wat amp do u think i should tell him to buy

Nicholas Frazier id get the t1500-1bdcp. actual power is ~2000w at 2 or 1

Brad Stolberg I would forget about a pair of T2's unless you/he planns on having them where the rear seat is, eliminating the rear seat in the process...deffinatly need to look into different subs...In that power catigory I'd wait for the upcoming Alpine MRX-M240 2400w...  moreI would forget about a pair of T2's unless you/he planns on having them where the rear seat is, eliminating the rear seat in the process...deffinatly need to look into different subs...In that power catigory I'd wait for the upcoming Alpine MRX-M240 2400w RMS @2 for $699 retail, or pick up an MRP-M2000 on clearance  

Nicholas Frazier i like to keep the brands the same but thats a good choice

Nicholas Frazier I completely agree with you, but my OCD doesn't. Haha. That being said I'm not that crazy. I'm referencing the visible aspects in the trunk. Both amps, the sub, and wiring (wiring not a big deal but) are the same. My source unit and speakers are different.

Brad Stolberg Wiring has to be perfectly color matched and symmetrical for me haha...and I like to have at least matching amps, but I usually go JL subs, Hertz speakers, but everything else usually differs

Nicholas Frazier still gonna have a hell of a time fitting those woofers in that car. Anyway, you have a couple options, you can replace the radio in that car, or you can buy a line level output converter or the like to get lfe from your factory stereo.

Brad Stolberg I'm building a 2011 Boss for myself right now, and yes a hell of a time is somewhere close Nick, haha but my car came with Shaker 500 too, you can grab the signal for the factory subs at their amp, but with as much bass in the car as you're planning (and ...  moreI'm building a 2011 Boss for myself right now, and yes a hell of a time is somewhere close Nick, haha but my car came with Shaker 500 too, you can grab the signal for the factory subs at their amp, but with as much bass in the car as you're planning (and no need for a bitone, or similar) I wouldn't run the factory headunit because the car has factory subs, so it has a preset crossover and probly turns the subs down realative to the given volume, a cheap din size head unit would swap in easy, give better tuning, and depending on the unit sub control, then you just run RCA's to the sub amp and use a harness for the mids and highs, maybe try to see if the new head unit could then power the 8's as midbass drivers with a cheap like 200hz LP inline x-over...  less

Nicholas Frazier lol i kno all to well as fitting one t2 in a ported enclosure in my vastly lkarger trunk was a pita nevermind 2 in a mustangs trunk. they r sooooo oddly shaped! stupid tails

Brad Stolberg I did 4 12" T2's in the back of a ghettorific esclade for my secratry's husband, otherwise I wouldn't have installed Fosgate's ;) and they almost didn't fit up firing, and that was a damn esclade, a mustang can't fit those subs, he'd be better off trying ...  moreI did 4 12" T2's in the back of a ghettorific esclade for my secratry's husband, otherwise I wouldn't have installed Fosgate's ;) and they almost didn't fit up firing, and that was a damn esclade, a mustang can't fit those subs, he'd be better off trying with a pair of 10"s for sure and they'd hit almost as hard with the same amp and are better sized for the cab of that car...the 10s would probly fit but a tight fit at that  

Nicholas Frazier Unless you snag old ones, they only do the 12 and 15 in T2's. I like it personally. Esp. for the price. :)

josh delaney he said he wanted to keep the stock head cuss of nav and idk he was talking about doing 1 w7 but i raely dont wana mess with that and the dash kit for his mustang is about 230 and wireing kit is about 72 and like i said im yust to older car not 2011 cars ...  morehe said he wanted to keep the stock head cuss of nav and idk he was talking about doing 1 w7 but i raely dont wana mess with that and the dash kit for his mustang is about 230 and wireing kit is about 72 and like i said im yust to older car not 2011 cars so i dont know about his speakers and if the 8'' subs in the door need to be hooked up a sertant way mabye u guys could suggjest some good sounding subs he wants BASS lol  

Brad Stolberg go for a single 13w7 on an MRP-M2000, its a shit load of bass and that box will be easier on that trunk than dual 12 T2's and the SQ will be way better...if he really wants to keep the factory head unit for the nav, then I'd do an LC6 and a JL XD600/6 amp...  morego for a single 13w7 on an MRP-M2000, its a shit load of bass and that box will be easier on that trunk than dual 12 T2's and the SQ will be way better...if he really wants to keep the factory head unit for the nav, then I'd do an LC6 and a JL XD600/6 amp for the stock front speakers, you'll have to run the stock speakers as active 3 ways using http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=266-278 or similar on the midrange channel and use the amp's internal x-overs accordingly...then in the future he could add a Bitone or MS-8 processor and it will sound really bitchin, then after that I'd throw some ESK163L's in up front and call it a day  less

josh delaney i just talked to him he said maybe 2 10'' w7s on a rockford t1500 or a t1000 or a jl audio slash v2

josh delaney jl audio slash v2 1000

josh delaney ok so we both agreed on jl subs but hes not sure if he wants 2 10'' w7s 2 12'' w7s 1 12'' w7 or 1 13.5'' w7 and the amp he wants is rockford products or jl products maybe alpine

Brad Stolberg I personally have 2 10w7's each at around 800w RMS on a pair of Audison 5.1ks and a single 13 on an MRP-M2000 hits even harder with about 1800w RMS @3 ohms, and takes up the least amount of space from the options you gave, but out of all of the the pair o...  moreI personally have 2 10w7's each at around 800w RMS on a pair of Audison 5.1ks and a single 13 on an MRP-M2000 hits even harder with about 1800w RMS @3 ohms, and takes up the least amount of space from the options you gave, but out of all of the the pair of 12w7s would hit the hardest on the right amps...i'd skip the Slash amps, honestly anyone with expirence with an MRP-M2000 will tell you its the shit for how much it costs and you're not scrificing anything with it....1000w rms total is not enough for a pair of 10w7s if he wants them to hit, 1500+ total rms is optimal, and for 12's they want 1200w each...he's gonna need an alternator too or at least a big kinetik  less

josh delaney i think hes goin with the mrp-2000 or t1500

Brad Stolberg Mrp-m2000 on a single 13w7 is going to be the best bang for the buck out of these choices, amps would get pricey for multiple w7's unless they're 8w7s...check this link out I show it to customers all the time http://www.jlaudio.com/header/Support/Tutorial...  moreMrp-m2000 on a single 13w7 is going to be the best bang for the buck out of these choices, amps would get pricey for multiple w7's unless they're 8w7s...check this link out I show it to customers all the time http://www.jlaudio.com/header/Support/Tutorials/Why+a+13.5-inch+Driver%3F/There's+no+Replacement+for+Displacement!/563162  

josh delaney hes goin with a mrp-2000 with a 2nd xs battery so wat subs should he buy 2''10s 2 12's' or 1 12'' i dont think he wants a 13''

josh delaney ok hes goin wit a mrp-2000 and a 13 w7 i think the mrp-2000 has hi/low inputs but im not sure

Brad Stolberg Yup hi low built in

josh delaney so i dont need a converter

josh delaney wats some good 6 x 8

Brad Stolberg None get a 6.5

josh delaney ok ya ive got a 96 ford bronco and i just not used to doing 2001 cars and up so get some 6.5 speakers with a 6x8 adapter

josh delaney were u think i should run 0 gouge wire at and if i use hi/low input on the amp is it goin to sound as good as if i was using rcas or do i still need rcas

Brad Stolberg It's not going to sound good at all because your using the factory sub output without a summing device to get the whole signal, but no rca's necessary just a pair of wires from each sub to the amp...0 guage is always fun,I ran it down the middle in the Boss

josh delaney he wants to keep all stock speakers just wants to change subs and amp cuss his stock subs blew so ur saying it would sound better with ethier a aftermarket head or use a hi/low converter im sorry im just a mechanik i mean i can install shit just not this big

Brad Stolberg No he can keep his stock head unit and speakers, but like a I said a few posts back, he needs a summing device and a cheap amp to power his stock speakers, there's no way the stock subs are "blown" that quick they are distorting at high volume for sure th...  moreNo he can keep his stock head unit and speakers, but like a I said a few posts back, he needs a summing device and a cheap amp to power his stock speakers, there's no way the stock subs are "blown" that quick they are distorting at high volume for sure tho, if it were me and I wanted to spend the least possible, I'd do an LC6 and alpine mrp-f300 to power the stock speakers, if he really wanted awesome sound, it can be done with stock speakers, he could ditch the LC6 and all he'd need is a Bit Ten in addition to the cheap alpine amp, or a JL XD600/6 if he wanted to use the factory subs as midbass which would be cool, he could also do a JBL MS-8 which has auto tune and 8ch amp for the front speakers built in...  less

josh delaney he has a Kenwood KAC-1502S and rock ford fosgate 6x8 punchs in hes trunk he wants me to put in and a lc6

Brad Stolberg Well there ya go, ur all set then

josh delaney ok

josh delaney know i think he wants a kenwood ddx319 head with steering wheel control

Brad Stolberg He'd be better off buying a BitTen it would be cheaper and maintain factory dash, and it would prolly sound better too because of the immense tuning options, nearly endless, he then also wouldn't need to replace the factory speakers, just need an amp for ...  moreHe'd be better off buying a BitTen it would be cheaper and maintain factory dash, and it would prolly sound better too because of the immense tuning options, nearly endless, he then also wouldn't need to replace the factory speakers, just need an amp for them, that ddx319 has decent audio at best IMO, I'd look for 4 volt pre outs in a 2011 unit that will be on clearance in about a month  

josh delaney he said he wants the ddx319 so i guess hes goin with that and 2 amps a second battery so i need to run 0 gouge to the bck 2 rcas and 2 remote wires but he wants to keep bluetooth

josh delaney were should i run all the wires

Brad Stolberg I'll be totally honest with you here, piecing a system together like you and your friend are doing usually works out fine with low end equipment, but with a $1200 sub woofer and $700 sub amp wouldn't you want somone who puts systems together everyday to s...  moreI'll be totally honest with you here, piecing a system together like you and your friend are doing usually works out fine with low end equipment, but with a $1200 sub woofer and $700 sub amp wouldn't you want somone who puts systems together everyday to shed some light on the dos and don'ts for your car/system...and I'm sorry but if you have to ask where to run wires you shouldn't be running them, asking where to run the 0 guage I can understand but RCA's, remote, and speaker wire is as simple as car audio gets...If you want the products in the system to work to their full potential an experts advise is the only way to go, not impulse shopping on crutchfields website...if he already has factory nav and ford sync then theres no reason at his level to change out the head unit bearing the costs when a processor will end up sounding better, is cheaper to install in this vehicle and makes the factory speakers usable, start a forum topic stating what you know and what you don't and everyone on here including me will be glad to help  less

Brad Stolberg be glad to help

josh delaney yes i know how to run rcas and speaker wire and remote turn ons i meant the 0 gouge and he is just goin thru websites and telling me wat he wants and klikes idk

Brad Stolberg Like I said before I ran the 0 guage down the middle, but my Boss is in pieces because of how much is being modified, so the carpet was out and made it easy...and honestly if he does have factory have a BitTen is going to be his best option IMO

josh delaney hes goin with ethier a bit ten or a lc6 i just gota figure out were to run the 0 gauge

Brad Stolberg I'm confident those are the best options without spending allot on a good new head unit...you got my PM, let me know
