[QUOTE="Topless Stang, post: 6047833, member: 611689"] Hey Guys, I've been out of the car audio game for a while because my last car had me pretty satisfied. I've since gotten a new car('06 Mustang Convertible) and have started to piece together the system. So far I've purchased a set of Hertz HSK165 components for up front and a RF Power1000 Limited Ed. amp to run everything. I'm not trying to go too big since it's a convertible, but I do want it to get loud and sound good while doing so. I'm currently looking at a set of Hertz HCX570 coaxials for the rear and a pair of Kicker CVT8s for the doors(The factory doors have 8" subs installed now).
