[QUOTE="Danometal, post: 7551320, member: 636337"] Hello. It's time to plan a nice front stage. I just ordered this: [URL="http://www.audiosavings.com/products/4-Channel-Car-Amplifier/Boston-Acoustics-GTA-704-500W-RMS-4-Channel-Car-Amplifier-GTA704--8-AWG-Amp-Kit/GTA-704---WK82.aspx"]Audio Savings | Boston Acoustics GTA-704 500W RMS 4 Channel Car Amplifier GTA704 + 8 AWG Amp Kit[/URL] I got that for $159 shipped, and it will match my GTA-1000m I'm running on a JBL P1224 sub in 2.5 cubes @ 25 hz. (So far I'm very content with how the sub stage turned out) I'm currently running an Alpine CDA-117 on my factory Saturn 6.5 inch components, which actually get crazy loud and clear (sweet tweeters especially), but I want it to sound more powerful and just engulf me in sound like I'm right there. I love SQ, but I don't think I need an external processor. This HU does enough for my personal tastes. I have some crappy Walmart Xplod 5.25s in the rear doors that I'll probably just leave powered by the HU, and maybe fade them out unless I have rear passengers. So: 1). I need to know what would work best for baffles, as the factory comps' mounting ring is like 3 - 4 inches deep, so whether I use plastic or MDF baffle rings or whatever, I'll need to stack them to make the proper depth for the new speakers. So, I'll need to know what kind of adhesive/fasters/etc. to use with whatever baffle material is ideal. 2). What materials to use for deadening? (although my Saturn has plastic doors, and they don't resonate, but the door panels might). 3). What materials to seal the doors? 4). And, what are some good components to run passive? Thanks so much! [/QUOTE]
