Tom ( I_love_Edsels )Wrote : 1997 Ford Ranger, regular cab. Not much room for a stealth box.
If I had the extended cab I would just get an Infinity BassLink.
You mention 'lovely' component speakers - what brand do you have in
mind? I am looking for speakers that sound MUCH better than any of
the more widely availabe brands.
An amp could go on the back wall, behind the seat. Not really any
other place to put it.
the head unit is OK for the moment.
thanks for the info

Tom,
I would suggest this MTX sub box
http://tinyurl.com/3o6fk .. You may
want to sell the sub and replace it with a better SQ sub though
eventually or right off .. an ID10 v.3 would be perfect for the boxes'
size .. Sub box includes an Xtant Z104 sub . Not a bda sub , but not
all that great either . You may want to write seller and ask can you
buy a box alone for $160 as the sub is only worth about $40 .. Sub on
one side , amp on the other as in photo in that auction ..
Components - those considered the BEST by many are near $1000
themselves !! I would definately recommend ID Chameleons for a moderate
priced ..
Sound Quality is more a matter of damping your truck 101% properly and
imaging your speakers right .. The best speaker can sound only
marginally better than a normal Infinity set if not ..
It appears that your front door accepts 6x8" speakers , BUT you can
use 6.5" speakers .. For THE BEST sound quality you should go with kick
panels and a 5.25" set and seperate Midbass 6.5" in the doors .. With
the kickpanels and midbass in doors , SQ would be it's best .. Q-Form
kicks are about $150 or $99 on eBay .. That would alleviate your
subwoofer needs somewhat.. I know of a set that I have used that sound
good and go VERY LOW .. Either that or a CDT 3-way component set would
sound very good .. Approx 200 watts per side would be nice for those ..
An authorized seller named Don ( djdilliodon ) in the actual forum
would get you a much better price than any online store .. I need to
email you , so please reply with your email addy and I can help easier
..
