Like It states im building my first system. So along with that comes alot of questions, and alot i have. Through research I have found most of the info I need but I just need other options or maybe Im going in the wrong direction. So with that said lemme explain. I have a 2002 F250 Diesel That I am looking to upgrade my sound. I am not looking for a major system that will make my neighbors go def its really for my enjoyment. So What I have questions about are set ups in general. Ive currently got a head unit already it is http://www.docs.sony.com/release/specs/CDXGT55UIW_mksp.pdf . I Have a amp sitting around but I dont know much about it. it is a pioneer 2 channel rated at like 760 I can find the info if needed, though im not sure if it would be worth using. Currently for the replacement speakers I am looking at infinity 682.9cf for the doors.. Im not dead set on them, so if you think there is a better option lemme know. Also for subs im almost dead set on on the SSA Dcons in a singe 10 or 12.. Im thinking 12. Im building a center console to house the the sub and give it that stock look. but this is where i am wondering.. would it be worth replacing the rear speakers? also 5 channel amps if so or for if not.. I listen to every thing music wise. Im gonna downfire the subs. also component vs coaxle im not sure.. So can ya guys(gals) help me? Oh and for budget Im looking to stay around(under) 1500. If that helps.. Any other questions Ill be glad to answer.

Well yesterday i bought a Eclipse avn5500 for 25 bucks. Well after a quick call to eclipse to make sure it wasnt stolen i got bored and decided to hook it up in my truck. Well after I booted it up it said insert map disk.. well that's where i am stuck I am finding them on ebay for about 100 bucks any body have a spare floating around? Also what is the opinions of this H/u?

yep i feel pretty lonely out here haha...

Well if you want Im installing some i65c's i could post a kinda build.. or if you wanna give me a huge discount haha.. jk really though.. I kid.. unless your into that kinda thing.. haha.. , But really I should be building a custom center console im planning to put a 12 into before I deploy so it should be soon.

Im retarded nevermind

Anyone know the song?

sorry for the late reply ill have measurements tonight

I do. how much for shipping? Edit: nvm I read the whole post again.. hahaha Ill post measurements soon

if these are still here in a month or so i will be able too..

To bad i dont have the extra cash right now.. bump for a good deal

and how many?

so what did ya get? also I feel your pain for the center console I removed mine to put a box there.. 3 years ago hahaha..

So back to the top. I've decided to go with a ported enclosure. Now the hard part. I need help coming up with the idea for the enclosure. my issue is how hard is it to work with fiberglass? My floor is not flat. is has a bunch of curves in it.. so how could i go about it? also i wanna just do a single 15.

So here goes. Well I decided one day to tear out the center console in my truck with the intention of putting a new one in there.. Well 3 years later.. still no center console. So thats where it brings me up to pretty much till last weekend. Last week end I got bored and decided to start putting it together again I dug out the mounting brackets and started brain storming that it would be better to build one rather than buy one so i could build it to my specs and add a few things. So to give you an idea what kinda vehicle its going in is a 2002 F250 with the diesel engine. So Im sure as long as I dont go crazy my electrical system will be fine. The only thing I have done to my truck currently is a Sony Deck. I had a sub and amp that i bought from walmart years ago but it got moved to my wife's car and now just sits in storage. so yeah.. moving on I wanna put a sub and maybe two in the center console. If you've never been in a truck that size I have an amazing amount of space to build this console. So I was thinking maybe a single or two 10 in subs. but that's just to say.. I wanna put that crunch in your lunch kinda bass but don't need it over killed.. I'm not going to be going to competitions or anything like.. I hope that makes since. So To give you an Idea of what I have been looking at Ive been searching and reading About SSAs Gcon.. also I dont know what kinda amp to push these things.. I have a friend that will sell me a JL 500.1v? for around 200 if that is a good deal. Also I am working on a budget so if you guys have any better suggestions I will research and look into them all. If there are any other questions that you may wanna know please ask.. Again thanks for all the info that you may be able to provide.. So I went out and took some measurements it will be 17.5" wide the front height will be 17.5" and around 48" long and around 24" hight in the rear..I listen to alot of music I have a very eclectic music style but mainly stick with metal and electronic..

So im reviving this thread. So I am gonna do a two channel or four channel for the fronts and im looking at components now and im gonna run a single 12 or 15 now and well it will still be in the center console and im thinking of rear firing it. so the amp im looking at for the sub is cresendo bc2000d and a single sub the speakers im looking at are the pwx 6.5s by cresendo and the tweeter im sure the same so.. am i looking in the right direction?

Awesome. Ill look into it here soon..

down by the component

Cool Ill check them out.. also How hard are they to intall? I saw on crutchfield where they have adaptor plates to fit a 6.5 with tweet is that the best route? I wanna hide the speaker in the normal spot retainint the stock look

So tonight A buddy of mine came over with a box.. well It contained a pair of the infinitys I was looking at.. he said he got them on a deal. So.. Now I am thinking of moving those to the rear.. and still doing the components up front.. so with the components what should I look for? And I have a 2 channel amp now thats collecting dust. And was wondering if it would be usable? it states 125 Watts x 2, at 4 ohms <= 1% THD+N. So now what should I look at?

So I am looking at this massive audio NX5 amp and was curious if I should go look at a new head unit? My deck has two RCA outs Is this gonna be an issue? OR is there a way around it?

Thats why I was gonna buy SSA over SA.

I see. So what kinda options do i have then? I still want it to look stock. So I looked at polk and infinity cause they are local.. So I started looking at 5 Channel amps for ease of install and space.. Massive audio NX5 what do you guys think? would it be good with the components?

Also Swift.. Im looking for a donor truck that has the captains in the rear instead of the bench.. If I find it.. I may try for that box of yours..

Wow thats alot.. haha.. Im just looking to add some thump.. but not that much haha.. So Im looking at my deck.. I didnt do alot of research into before I bought it years ago.. http://www.docs.sony.com/release/specs/CDXGT55UIW_mksp.pdf here it is.. So what do you guys thing? Also I had a really cheap sub and amp set up and it could rock it.. which brings be up to my questions.. Im just looking to upgrade my system and build this "stealth" looking center console that has a better function for me. would it be a better Idea since Im not going for a comp. set up that I look torward these multi channel set ups?
