Viper 550.2 Midranges in doors. Had to dremel inside the door panel for clearance. No metal cut. (Soon to be replaced with.. Revelators maybe.)

Tweeters in factory kick panels. Cut a round hole, sunk 'em in there. Awesome imaging, if not a little low in the soundstage. Focal Utopia TN-51 Tweeters.

Alpine 7998 head unit.

Under drivers seat:

Hifonics Brutus 1000 watt amp
Viper XOVER
Fused distro block

Under Pass seat:

ARCAUDIO 2100 CXL
Viper Xover

In the back, 48x14x12 weighing in at probably 80+lbs...
IMAGE DYNAMICS IDMAX 12 sub in a 2.3 cube box, tuned to 29hz.

It makes the roof bounce up and down. Thats not an exaggeration.

I'd be glad to get pictures of anything for you. Any help you need.

Jesus.. :eek: I was thinking about upgrading the front with 6.5 components and changing out the rear with 6.5 midbass or something. I really don't want to put subs in this truck. I'm afraid I won't get the low end I want without the subs though. Do you have bucket seats? The space under my seats is pretty small. What to do ...what to do. Are the door panels pretty easy to remove? I have an Xtant A4004 laying around from my old truck and kinda wanted to put it to use. I guess I need to tear it apart and see what will fit and the depth I have to work with. :crazy: I better go buy so beer :jester

Doors are extremely easy to get off.

Forget about 6.5s.

5.25 is the biggest that will fit... assuming you have a new truck right?

yes, i have bucket seats.

Depth... 2.75 at the most. You can move back the window rail if yuo are comfortable with that.

Hmm.. My truck is a 2002. I'm not really comfortable enough to move the window rail back. Thanks for the input. I have some thinking to do.
