How's the fit of those fox boxes? I've looked online at them for a while but couldn't pull the trigger without sole first hand accounts
They're awesome I love mine. Fit in there like a glove and they're really well built. Sound great
Can you still sit in the rear seats and not crush the box or speakers?
No kidding. That's good stuff. Now, if only there was a DIY suns for dummies thread, maybe I could actually finish my "audio education"
I just don't know anything about it. I can swap speakers and head units no problem. But when people start talking about subs, sub boxes, amps, capacitors, different wire gauges and interference, I just nod my head. I could not explain how to, or even do one whole system with those things because I know so little.
Personally for that type of setup yes I would use two amps. A 4 channel for your speakers, and a mono (single channel) amp for the subs. Keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to amp your speakers, but if you are replacing them with higher end aftermarket ones, they are really meant to be amped.
And if you have 6 speakers, usually the 5th and 6th speaker are a dash tweeter or something like that. These don't put a very high load on the system and can usually be tapped into the front left and front right outputs from the amp, along with the front left and right speakers.
My truck has 6 speakers, Infinity Kappas in the doors and Polk tweeters in the dash locations, with a 4 channel 850w RMS amp under the driver seat, and a 10" Alpine Type R in a fox box under the back seat, with a 500w RMS mono amp under the passenger seat. I'm extremely happy with the setup.
That does sound great. I'm in the planning stages right now. I'm picking up the truck I just bought later today, and I'm deploying real soon. So I'll be spending the foreseeable future just getting ideas so I can do them when I'm back
