It all sounds good but not to sure about the ABP12 like where are you going to put it? Backseat? Altho it's a nice looking box I think I might have went a different route there but everything else looks great! Hope to see it installed!

MB Quart makes some nice 4x6s for about $120 or so, and id go with MB Quart 6½ component set in the sails, u can make a plate out of wood and a little enclosure or get some baffles to get the good sound out of em

Oh I didin't see the last part. Not dissing you Nagga but just wanted to offer another option or idea. The $120+$35.00 will get you a set of Mikes kicks. Then the besides buying 6x9's take the money and go to ebay. And buy a set of Infinity Reference 6 1/2 components for $114. The Reference aren't the best but for that price they sound damn good and are worth every penny. Using kicks up front eliminate's the needs for 6x9's due to the placement. Just do a search here for "kick pods" and read the results. The sound quality is far better than you're ever going to get with 4x6's and 6x9's and it would run you about the same amount of money. I did this in my car as many others have and I never plan on going back. Mike posted while I was typing this



I had to update the price of the Kicks due to https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...threadid=73013

explods

i got some explods for my car (6x9s)for like $69 at wal mart and they sond awesome for the money, also theyll bolt to where the stock ones are. (i cut the cardboard so they show and so they sound better)they have great bass for 6x9s and great highs, since theyre 3 ways, and since your buying them from walmart instead of ebay, theres no shipping.
