2006 Mustang GT Coupe 5-speed Wow. I've never fallen in love with a car so fast as this one. I just got it Tuesday and I've already been smitten. Awesome car.

Ooohh, I'm soooo jealous. NICE RIDE, DUDE!!!!
A 5.1 channel system sounds fun. Though I do have video, I have not yet been brave enough to attempt this, it's that pesky center-channel-speaker-thing that frightens me. Well, let me give you my thoughts on the gear you are considering.... First, I have been REALLY happy with the VR series midbass drivers that replaced my MB Quart PSD 6.5" drivers. I can't believe how much more midbass I can get out of those, it's like a pair of 8's! If you are considering their tweeters, I would definitely consider their midbass drivers as well. I have used Boston Pro series as well and these JL drivers beat those, too. "SPANKIN' MIDBASS", just like the ads say! As far as amps, I don't know, I'm not a big fan of those single amp for everything designs. I'll tell you why. When I used to own MY Maxima (a '95), I used to have a single amp for everything, a Soundstream Reference 705 (the renamed Continuum). First off, it was HUGE and hard to find a place for it (but I notice that the Alpine you've selected is smaller). Second, it sort of limits you. I like being able to use multiple (I use four amps right now) amplifiers that I can switch out, upgrade, move and so on. IMHO, the multi-amp approach just gives you more flexibility. Also, is 60 watts per channel enough? I don't think it is for fronts, ESPECIALLY if you are not going to bi-amp your fronts which I assume you are not. I DO think the sub choice is a good one. For a smaller car like that, I would think that a single 12" would be fine (I know you are not into POUNDING bass). And MTX ROCKS! And lastly, are you really going to go with Crutchfields? Here's my thoughts on that. If you are going to pay those kind of premium prices, I would want to buy from a local dealer, that way if there's any problem you can quickly return your gear or have it fixed quickly. If you want to go mail-order, there are much cheaper outlets (I got my Alpine 9853 new for $220, at Crutchfields it lists for $349). LOVE YOUR CAR!!!!

Correction, I reread your message and I see that you were NOT talking about
JL when you mentioned VR. Oh well, my original response applies, JL makes REALLY good midbass drivers. MOSFET "Tony F" wrote in message ... http://tinyurl.com/lzztq 2006 Mustang GT Coupe 5-speed Wow.

Look here Bob Wald ****head.
I had the unfortunate process to go through of having my grandmother and mother pass away last year. Needless to say, mother****er, I have more than enough money to buy pretty much any car I wanted, asshole. I was very tempted to go out and buy a ton of different cars costing many, many times more than the Mustang, douchebag. Needless to say, I purchased something that I liked, is pretty damn fast, and a little on the practical side, assface. **** off and don't ever reply to ANY of my posts. And check your data, ****head: 2006 Mustang GT 5-speed 300 hp, 320 lb-ft 1/4 mile 13.8 secs 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-V6 263 hp, 260 lb-ft 1/4 mile 14.5 secs Both specs taken from Car And Driver.

Thanks for the input, Nick. I'll definitely check out the JL VR series as
well. I'm not sure if my local retailer sells them or not. As far as Crutchfield goes, I was just using their website for the links. I'm going to either, a) buy everything off of eBay and save some money, or b) buy from my local retailer for about the same or slightly lower price than Crutchfield for warranty and local service. I haven't decided yet. I'm usually not a big fan of one amp does everything, either. But since my main system will always be in my Maxima, I want something simple, yet decent, in the Mustang. Something I won't be tempted to mess around with ALL THE TIME like my Maxima!! LOL I just want something that sounds good, and is FUN!! (hence the 5.1). BTW...the stock "Shaker 500" audio system sound pretty darn good for an OEM system.

decent, in the Mustang. Something I won't be tempted to mess around with ALL THE TIME like my Maxima!! LOL God, I HEAR you on that. I JUST came in from changing out my rear-fill amp, to something a bit more powerful. But the damn screw-down power-terminals didn't accept 4 gauge bare power wire. So here I am with the seat out, old amp removed, and I am forced to improvise something sloppy to make it work (I didn't have 4 gauge connectors handy and as the FRONT SEAT WAS OUT OF THE CAR, I couldn't go to my local Radio Shack). It's times like this I wish I would just leave it well enough alone! LOL I swear, it's a sickness. MOSFET |

Congrats.
A friend of mine has all the Alpine equipment you listed (the IVA-D300 though instead of the 310), with the 5.1 in his Ford Focus. He absolutely loves it.

There's a guy who works at our Radio shack who is REALLY into car audio. He
has them stock a FULL line of Monster Cable products. They way he explained it to me, independent Radio shack franchises can stock just about anything they want.
