[QUOTE="EFD307, post: 8181721, member: 658258"] so i put an order in, parts should be coming in this week. I decided on the alpine power pack 45W RMS for 4 Alpine sps-517's i would have liked a component set upfront but don't have a hole saw for mounting the tweeter, if you buy the factory audio upgrade Ford has modified sail pannels with space for tweeters but i couldent find them, might be a project down the line. as for the sub i got a great deal off ebay, 12'' type s sub woofer, got a sealed box off amazon and some polyfill (didnt do much research on this but from what i saw it looks like it does some good) and powering that an alpine mono amp that will feed it 300W RMS at 4 ohms. i paid 160 for the amp and woofer which i thought was a great price, the amp was used so ill have to see how that turns out for me... if the worst comes to worst ill buy a new one but hopefully all will be good. I read into acoustic treatments and it is very interesting, but it seems like a lot of work and time that i don't have at the moment to do properly. would you advise putting some of that polyfill in the doors as well as the sub box? what is that stuff even good for? i mean in the sub box it should from what im thinking cut down on excess "noise" that isnt being fully produced? so that should reduce the sounds coming from the woofer that aren't being produced at that moment right? im not sure, im sure you guys can explain it better than i can. i got a one pound bag and it was advised i stick half of that in the box. i bought a box thats 19 x 16 x 9 inches or about 1.58 cubic feet and alpine states 0.65 to 1 cubic foot is ideal, hopefully stuffing this thing will bring me to where i want to be. when putting the polyfill in should i staple it to the inside of the box or just let it sit there? I would imagine stapling it to the interior of the box would make more sense, but let me know. [/QUOTE]
