[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7088894, member: 576029"] 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.
