Thanks guys... I know it's not "top notch" audio equipment... but lets just say it does the job... clean sound all the way up, and you can feel your chest rattling... lets just say, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Thanks!

Sweet ride and setup!! If you dont mind me asking what front/rear speakers are you using? I cant make up my mind on what to use yet. I was going to buy the same 4 channel amp you have but didnt think it would be enouugh power so was going to upgrade it to a Alpine MRP-F450 I Believe it is. How do you like the MRP-F250 Amp with the speakers you have now?

Thanks!!

Thanks man... I'm currently using MB Quartz 6x8 discus series coaxals all the way around... the reason I have coaxals in the front is because they were in the truck when I bought it so I just havent upgraded from them yet... When I change the fronts out I'm going to go with Infinity kappa perfect 6.5 components. If I had it to do over again I would have went with the F450 instead of the F250 alpine... It has decent power but it leaves me wanting more... although the sound is crisp and clear out of that amp... so I will stick with it... If you decide to get the F250 or F450... get it from onlinecarstereo.com that place has some cheap prices and very fast shipping... thats where i got my MRD-M605

Thanks fot the reply. In my previous 1998 F150 I had 6 1/2s in the front with the adapter plates. But its been 6 years since Ive installed the setup and not sure whats in and if I should keep the same speakers sizes. Also thanks for the tip on amp I'll go a head and get the F450.

I was going to try and order everything from the same company online.
I was going to go through etronics website. They seemd to have most of everything I needed for the lowest prices and heard there pretty good about shipping. I


Thanks!
