custom box with a kicker 10" cvr all hooked up here:---$200http://musicmooseaudio.com/f150fs_loaded_cvr10.html
line out converter------$20
amp kit-------$30
So, what amp with this? I seen a Kicker ZX300-----$200(enough power)???

My system consists of-
Factory H/U
Styxnpicks 5x7 for all 4 doors
TMA 500.1 sub amp with LOC from factory HU
2 Kicker CVT 10"
Supercrewsound box (bought used)

Sounds great and hits hard. I have less that 500.00 invested total and would put it up against alot of other systems that were twice the price. Look for deals and listen to the "go to" guys on this forum and you will be ok.

Going forward I will be replacing front speakers w/amp and RF360 processor. I want to retain factory look for prying eyes.

That sounds like a pretty good setup. Im not sure what I think about the extra polk tweeters though... But enjoy and post up pics when you get it all.

Everything looks about right. You shouldnt need spk wire as it should come with your amp kit. And normally Crutchfield sends spk harnesses with the spks.

Whose the guru?
