[QUOTE="Greggk, post: 7493826, member: 606248"] ok, lets start this by putting some background into this by no means am I a die hard audiophile. I own a 1999 F250 with the 7.3 Powerstroke turbo diesel. I had to replace the head unit as the OEM one had a display that stopped working. So I installed a Pioneer 3200UB head unit that I bought off here. I still have mixed emotions about that head unit. All was well. UNTILL I redid my exhaust. I did a 4" turbo down pipe, 4" straight pipe, into dual 5" stacks. THEY ARE LOUD. I can barely hear my stereo now. So I figured I would use this as a reason to upgrade. For now I will keep the head unit, untill I decided if I want to do something else. So this is what I bought. - Rockford Fosgate Punch 800A2 amp from this forum its 800@4ohms at mono(will be used for powering a sub) - Massive Audio VK6 6.5" Component speakers with silk soft dome tweeters - Massive Audio VX68 6x8 coaxial speakers with silk soft dome speakers I am debating between an Alpine Type R 10" or 12" dual 2ohm sub or a CDT Audio QES-1220 ES 12" sub. they will be in a ported box that is inside the center jump seat of my 40/20/40 split front bench seat. there is approximately .85-1.0 cubes in there and we will be porting it. it will be similar to this one [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b198/rx7nut13b/Ford%20Radio/IMG_3470.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b198/rx7nut13b/Ford%20Radio/IMG_3487.jpg[/IMG] am I moving in a good direction with this? the speakers I was told run very efficiently on head unit power, and have the option later to power them with an amp of their own. but for now head unit power. I am not looking to win any sound of competitions or impress the local hood rats. I just want something that sounds decent, will get loud when i turn it up, and will put a smile on my face. will this setup fill my requisites? all this will be going into my extended cab F250, not a crew cab.
