Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / May 2008Amplify Front Door Speakers Only?
I have a 2006 Mustang GT that I am thinking about adding an amp/sub to. Currently, I replaced the stock Shaker 500 head unit with an Alpine CDA-9885 and all the 6x8s with Infinity Kappa 682.7s while leaving the door "subwoofers" connected to the stock setup. I am considering adding an amp/sub in the trunk because the door subwoofers suck and I am thinking about only amplifying my door 6x8s. I figured since I don't like my high frequencies coming from behind my head off of the rear glass, it would be best to leave those speakers powered off of the Alpine head unit. I guess my questions are: 1. Would it be OK to just amplify the door 6x8s while leaving the deck 6x8s on radio power? 2. What advantage would be served by amplifying the rear deck speakers in addition to my door speakers when I don't care for the rear staging in this particular vehicle? 3. Should I just purchase a pre-fab MTX Thunderform, JL Audio Stealthbox, Rockford Fosgate "Saleen" sub, or should I go with my own custom setup? >I have a 2006 Mustang GT that I am thinking about adding an amp/sub to. > Currently, I replaced the stock Shaker 500 head unit with an Alpine [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >1.

Only advantage that comes to mind is rear passenger music quality. I personally wouldn't worry about it. The only other person who should be enjoying the music besides yourself should be the broad next to you sitting in the passenger seat. >3.

A custom tuned box always can sound better but nothing wrong with the pre-fabs you mentioned, as I heard all of those in a mustang. The JL Stealth probably sounding the best followed by the MTX Thunderform. |
