ok.... that helps

what kind of radio does he have? what kind of speakers does he have? is he going to build his own box? what kind of music does he listen to. I'd say Fi q + nine.1 but that will set you past 500.00

Look in the classifieds for some 12's. Get some used rlp's or something.

stock speakers. no H/U yet. we will build a box..

he will be probly puting some bostons or Focal components in soon.

hes just buying the sub and amp first

Mustangs trunks are pretty small, so unless he wants to just one run 12 ported, two 12's sealed would be the better route.

i own a mustang too..The maximum demensions for a mustang trunk run about..30X32X13 1/2

i built a box for 2 atomics with demensions for 24X30x13 1/4

but this the build for 99-04 demensions..dependin if he has a newer or older.

but how loud is he tryin to go? i got my subs and amp for a lil over 500...but it was through a generous deal. Id say go with a Q..or maybe an X

sorry if im not much help

10" type-r's from hookedontronics for $100/e

Hifonics BXi 1206D $235 shipped from egay

Which leaves you $65 to buy rca's, 4ga wire, some ring terminals, and make a box.

I ran 2 12d4 Arc and 3 Arc 10d4 and they both sounded great, actually the 12's`where to much bass for me in my 02 Roush`and hadno issues going sealed.

 

[Hayabusa 10+ year member]

Clarion is almost the same price as the hifonics AND CEA RATED AND PUTS OUT MORE POWER... Can't beat that with a stick.

If its going to be a SQ setup, do 1 12 sealed.

Id say go with a SSD with copper coil, and a nice 1000rms amp. Kicker ZX1000 would be great.

It would be decently loud and sound great. IMO.

As far as Mustangs trunks, Ive played with one, there a tiny little thing. 1 12 ported or 2 10s port would be plenty, if done correctly.
