Ford Ranger System Plans...

[MBrock4u 10+ year member]

Well, the time has come to start putting together some ideals for this system. I welcome any imput you all may have. Keep in mind, this truck is not a extended cab. It's about half of that. No gear has been bought yet, and no ideal is yet in stone. Me and my brother will be installing the whole kitten kabootal, so no money for install. YEA! So here is the list I am kicking around:

Head unit: Kenwood Excelon X-589

Pioneer Premier P-6800

Front Stage: Polk Momo's MMC-525

Polk Audio dbd5250 comps

Sub amp: Alpine MRP-450

Sub: JL Audio 8W3

Image Dynamics ID8V.3

Polk MOMO MM2084

Speaker amp: My old directed 600 watt 2ch only a couple of years old.

Rear Fill: Pioneer Revs 6x9

Maybe no rear fill at all?

Any imput will be apreciated. Thanks!

Since the system is going into a truck, I don't recommend doing rear fill unless they are the same speakers as the front. Such a small cabin would invite cancellation.

yah i wouldn't do any rear speakers either. But btw i have those pioneer revs. They sound great but don't really get as loud as peolpe told me, even off of an amp. But they sound great none the less.

DUmp the rear fill, think about a little more woofage. Other than that it looks good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

To answer your question about the sub, I think 1 GOOD 8' properly amped should be all I need. Just haven't decided which one yet. I am a rear fill guy, but for this paticular application I'm not sure if I want to go that route. I am actually leaning against it for now.

May be, but you may be dissapointed.

Other than that looks great man.

Nice choice on front stage/HU.

I think you could squeeze some 6.5s in there, with a tab bit of cutting, and a little MDF constructing. I'm hoping to do this sometime in the near future.

Also, rear fill on Rangers is horrible, trust me. The speakers are so close to your ear, that you have to basically turn the rear speakers off. Speaking from personal experience //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'd take that Pioneer over the Kenwood, but that's only because I'm a Pioneer fan lol.

 

[MBrock4u 10+ year member]

That's a nice ideal there. I just might look into that and see what I can do. 6.5's would be nice. Like the imput guys, maybe, just maybe I might think about a 10' for a sub.

I dont know if i missed it...but are you working with a standard cab or extended cab ranger?

 

[MBrock4u 10+ year member]

Standard, but it has room, just not as much as an extended.

 

[Spooby 10+ year member]

Cool.

I only asked because I saw this thread with a standard cab Ranger and I thought it was a pretty decent setup.

Maybe it might stir up some ideas? Good luck.

Thanks. I took a gander at yours. WOW! Very impressive. Mine has more room than that thread I linked on to in your post. Plenty of room to put a sub box into.
