System help for a 2003 mustang

[sonicboom03 10+ year member]

I have a 03 cobra that i want to do a system in. I'll list everything i have so far:

Pioneer avh-p4100dvd

focal polyglass 6.5" component's

mb quart 6.5" coaxial

jl audio 300/4

2- Jl audio 12w3v3

I have some question as far as amp recommendation for the subs. They are rated at 500rms each but they are svc so i need something that will do 1000 rms or close at 2 ohm's. I'm looking for something around the $175-225 range.

My second question is how do i make the 6.5's fit front and rear? Do i simply just need brackets or is it more difficult?

I have had a system in my past mustangs and it always rattled my trunk and the bass never left the car. Is there any suggestions as to what i can do without spending too much money to make the sound travel? Maybe a custom box?

I been out of the game for a while so please forgive my lack of knowledge but I'm getting that itch to put all this stuff to use so i would gladly appreciate your help. Thanks in advanced.

For the speakers you will need to make baffles to adapt them to the factory openings. just some MDF and sound deadening is sufficient. A drill, a jig saw, and some sand paper is all the tools you need. I recommend hurricane nuts for driver mounting as MDF doesn't hold up with screws. Raammat BXT or BXT II is good and affordable sound deadening.

I prefer amps to match, so a JL 1000/1 is your best bet - but out of your budget range. Maybe a Kicker amp will meet your needs. Really, with that small of a budget you should be looking for a 1 ohm load. 1000W at 1ohm is cheap.

you can help eliminate rattles with closed cell foam and sound deadening. it takes time to keep a car quiet.

wanting bass to leave the car is juvenile - if you want to impress people with loud bass then wall off the 'stang. i recommend caring more about it sounding good to you and less effort on impressing people on the basketball court. no offense, i understand why you want this and it's a common request. really, to be loud outside the car you need a coherent source that minimizes interference - i.e. a wall. a simple box in the trunk will usually fail at allowing bass to coherently travel due to phase interference.
