Guest 02cougarc2 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 This is technically my second car but I consider it my first because the other(1990 geo storm) i sold pretty quick. I have a 2002 mercury cougar v6 with 4 4x6's and a 6 disc changer(stock)....I have a 2006ish pioneer premier headunit that i plan on installing. My neighbor had an 02 mustang and gave me the Mach 1000 10's inch subs(2) but I dont know if theyre any good. Im not sure whether I should get a ported box and I'm definantly confused when it comes to what type and size amp I need. I havent been able to find specs on the subs alone yet but they atleast look they theyll hit. I know my question(s) may sound amature but your time and advice is greatly appriciated.

Blazerslapp Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Ive never heard of them..so cant tell you what amp would work good on them untill we got the spec's of the sub,Asfar as a box i would most def say a portedbox..if your handy with wood 50$ tops for a box.Not so handy with wood BassBox Pro Prefab box..had one for some 12's i had before i got my big boy system and it was great. Hope this helps a little!

VistaV6 Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Ive got the shaker 500 subs....if they are anything like these they do NOT take that much wattage.
