its not that its better its easier to tune. when you have 3 ways off the amp you are just giving them power from the amp. with components you have alot more options to tune.dont get me wrong if i never had components i would be more than happy with the 3 ways i have now.

Ok cool..ill stick w/ the 3-ways. Thanks for the thought dude!

[ex. cab f-150 cut through]

if i where you i would get component sets. right now i have 6/9 in front doors 3 ways and they sound pretty damn good but im saving the money to get a set of componets. i have 5.25 in read doors. and they are powered by a soundstream 500.4 and they sound pretty damn good but i still get a lil frustrated because the midbass is not there like i want it so thats why i say go components.

I was trying to avoid that cause I like the stock look. Is the mid bass really that much better on components?

if you have more questions regarding your project or anything else just post it up it will get answered

Thanks....The 500a2 is 250w x 2 @ 2 ohms---2 of the 4-10's wired @ 2 ohms in a vented box for low bass. The other 2 in a smaller sealed box w/ a higher frequency setting w/ a less powerful 150 x2 mtx amp. I listen to alot of metal and my wife likes alot of hip hop. So trying to get the best of both worlds.

DOOR SPEAKERS:

-2-way vs 3-way...which is better?

-go for 6x8's instead of 5x7's so i can get the max size if speaker?

-will amplifier intended for these be sufficient? 250a2?

SUBS:

-will 500a2 and mtxpro150 be sufficient for 4 10" type r's?

-is my assumption that a smaller box with a higher frequncy setting need less power right?

-I intend to put my stock rear seat and back support seat in when im done. Will this affect

the vent since it will be covered w/ the ex.cab seats in stock form?

I think thats all the questions I have... sorry its sooo long. Will someone please answer these? PLEASE!!!!!

yup, thanks for clarifying it jack, didnt know how to explain it correctly

OHHHH Ok...Yeah I got that covered too. I did some fancy measuring and come up w/ a peice of cardboard w/ rounded edges from my kids cereal bowl for a template Thanks guys. Hey, I have some other questions that ive posted on other boards and so far since last night this is the only one responding. Sooo do you guys care to answer them? Has nothing to do w/ box's just amp/sub and mid/high questions. If so here it goes........

I am looking to get some 5x7/6x8 type r's to match my subs. Type r's dont come in 6x8 size instead the 5x7's i guess have a bracket to fit the 6x8. Should I just skip this and go for a 6x8 in a different brand? Just get it for the sake of being bigger and I guess louder? Makes since to me. Are the type r 5x7's equivelent? You get what im saying. I plan on powering 4 of them w/ an oldie but goodie Rockford fosgate Punch 250a2 in 2 ohm stereo mode. I have another question about these 4 subs and their power but I have to research some capabilities of the amp for them so I can present them here so it all makes since. Thanks again...

round over the cut or the flexing will tear it, get a boot!!!! i have one if you wanna buy it, do it right the first time or you will be fucked down the road

What do u mean round over the cut? Sorry, im not tool shy at all. Just want to make sure I do it right. Yeah, Ive done the research and all say use a boot. How much boot do you have? How much do you want for it?

[ex. cab f-150 cut through]

However, Im cutting into my bed AND toolbox. 4-10" type r's. Anything anyone wants to add and things to watch out for...tips and shit would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Alpine type r 5x7/6x8]

Whats up fellows. New to this board and need an opinion on the mids mentioned in the OT. Not set on these but just wanted to match my subs. The alpine type r's only come in 2-way styles and I was also wondering if 3-ways are better than 2-ways just because they're 3-way? I drive a 98' f-150 and am in research mode as far as replacing some door speakers. 6x8's are the stock size in the doors and Type-r's only come in 5x7. Do I need to get 6x8's just for the sake of size and more sound or are the 5x7's mentioned equivelent?I need 4 of them. I plan on running them w/ a Rockford fosgate punch 250 a2 2 channel amp in a 2-ohm stereo load. I have other questions but not regarding mids and highs. Dont know if people will wig for asking something in the wrong forum. Help would be greatly appreciated guys! Thanks.
