[davidnz]

Thank you Sir!

Where are you putting the sub? They building a box for you?

I'm doing the rear seat delete kit at the same time so everything is going there.....and they are going to add quite fans to move air to keep the stuff cool.... yes on sub box but not going to crazy on that ....we may do the JL Sub box..

Sorry guys, got lost in the thread. I'm thinking of just upgrading the door and rear panel speakers on the trak pak. Is it worth it? Recommendations? Appreciate it.

After 15 hours in the shop, i finally got my speakers and amp all hooked up. Im sure it was not all 15 hours working on it, as they had other cars, but i brought it in a 9am and when i went back at 5 pm, they said there were slammed all day and had to call Ford about the location of wires and amp, which of course being a GT350 with Technology package does not have an amp but some ford guys said it did, so that slowed it down.

They put in all jl audio in it. C5-650 up front.C3-650 in the rear, HD900/5 amp, Stealthbox by jl audio in the rear trunk side just like factory and an audio control mod LC6I.

It sounded very loud and clear. they worked on it until 1230 am last night finishing it and there was 3 of them. i was there so i know they worked and did not mess around. they did turn the volume on amp down after tuning it to give them time to break in and said come back in a week and they will retune it and it will be done.

I am going to add the JL Audio Stealthbox first. I spoke with a local installer and he recommends that I first do the sub and see how I like it after that. They will add a 500 watt amp for the sub and a seperate volume control for the sub. The amp is also a JL audio amp, currently on sale for 349. It is a class D amp, so it should run cool. The wife and I will evaluate after this if we need to take the next step, replace front speakers and add dsp and outboard amp for all main speakers. It seems reasonable to evaluate the system this way first to see if it is tolerable. I do like having the separate volume control for the subwoofer, that way you can add the extra bass

Did you get your car back? How does it sound? The technician told me today that some aftermarket amps and processors could cause clicking or electrical noise through the the stock audio interface. Have you had any problems with any noises emanating from your new setup?

On a side note, the USB IPod sounds way better than the Sirius radio sound. There is bass through the IPod, but the satellite radio is weak and tinny sounding. My FM radio sounds better than the sat radio .
