I'm getting a capacitor free with the amp, so should I just junk it or try and sell it?

What do you think about this system in a 2006 Mustang?

Would that amp and sub fit into the trunk well?

Also, the sub is an enclosed sub, it costs more to have a box designed for it instead of a one size fits all box. If you read the review that says "Drums and bass guitar sound real natural." is what sold it for me because that is what I want. Not a system that the bass is so loud, overpowering and obnoxious it's all you can hear. I'm her for sound quality, not to win a SPL competition.

As someone who tried a PDX-5 before buying it in a 2006 Mustang GT, I was left unimpressed with it's lackluster performance and regretted even trying it out.

I have a build log somewhere around here, but I settled on a Alpine CDA-9887, Stealthbox, Mach5 Audio MLI-65s and a Tang Band W4-1757SB.

For my amplifiers I am running a Lunar L450 to the front and a Clarion DPX1851 to my sub.

As for amplifier suggestions, I'd buy these two before I would EVER consider the PDX-5:

VIBE Audio LiteBox Stereo 4 (LiteBox4) 4-Channel Amplifier

VIBE Audio LiteBox Bass 1 (LiteBox1) Monoblock Car Amplifier
