[QUOTE="JTB321, post: 8825042, member: 687636"] Hi hispls (cool name), some great points here to think about. Let me add a few notes on the general cab design. The carbon fiber accents are going to be carried over into the door panels. The F1 has quite a distinctive panel in the mid to lower part of the door that is getting the CF treatment and the electric window mechanisms would force the position of a speaker towards the rear of the door and effectively be blocked by the seat. So no door panel speakers. The lower kick panels under the dash are restrictive also as the AC and heater hoses come in and the internal door hinge support frame eats up that area, so no kick panel speakers!! Under the dash, left and right are open and clear for 6*9’s though they will be pointing down but fully enclosed. That leaves the under seat area to play with. From your comments I’m thinking a four channel amp, to power the 6*9’s and two powered subs under the seats is the way to go. The head unit could be an issue. It has pre out for the front channels, good there. The pre out for the rear channels is selectable to be either full range or sub, so going to be a pre out short for the rear 6*9’s. I guess I could take the 50w speaker out from the head unit and attenuate to be a pre in to the main amp? Any success with this approach? As far as recommendations for the amp, speakers and powered subs (8” due to space constraints) in my budget range, any preferences? Appreciate you taking time for a detailed reply. I’m on a number of forums and always try to do the same.👍 cheers [/QUOTE]
