2008 Ford Fusion, (2)12lvl4XL, (2)T1500.1...


Recommended Posts

I am considering a major change of heart. I really want to keep all the products the same (speakers, amp, sub) that is why I choose Kenwood Excelon, but now I find myself saying RF a lot. The Kenwoods sound good but they just don't have the bass response I am looking for. I have a feeling the RF 6.5 component set bangs a lot harder then my current set up. Do you guys think the power set is worth the extra 100.00 over the punch set?

Well as of the previous post I decided to scratch the Excelon build and consider a Rockford Fosgate build. So here is what I have come up with. Go with Rockford Power series on everything, if it is worth doing, it is worth doing right...

Thinking of sticking with the Kenwood ddx814

T1652-s 6.5 component set for the front doors

T1572 - 5x7 for the rear doors

Power those with a T600-4

T212d2 12" sub

Powered by a T1000-1bd

Tie everything together with a 360.2

Protect it with a smart start for Iphone by viper, and ofcourse I am still planning a solid layer of damplifier lite and a layer of heat wave pro.

So I made some wood speaker templates last night but, I think they were garbage.

So I was toying around thinking about some ideas to beef it up a little bit. Then I remembered that I had this sheet of aluminum gusset plate in my garage for years. So happy I convinced my self not to throw it away. So I got everything set up this morning and battery for the jig saw is bad. So I am stuck cutting this by hand.

After what seemed to be hours of sawing I got this done.

1/8" aluminum. should get the job done. It is solid as hell, plus I am going to wrap it in damp. lite, then damp lite over the whole opening.
