Hey Everyone,
New to this forum as a poster. I have a 2010 Ford F-150 SuperCrew. I currently have the stock stereo with Sync (No nav or sony stuff). I'm ready to upgrade. I have been spoiled and insist that my sub goes under the 40 section of my rear seat (have a child seat so that seat always stays down).
Ok, my Christmas list has to come to an end so I can actually give it to someone. So I think I've made my decisions:
Front Doors - Polk MM6501 (125W RMS)
Rear Doors - Polk MM571 (90W RMS)
Sub - Polk MM1040 (100-350W RMS) - Seems to have nothing but positive reviews
So here are my questions:
1. That sub measures a mounting depth of 4 9/16". The smallest space under my rear seat is 5" and grows to roughly 8". The ideal enclosure is 0.66 ft^3. Should I be able to achieve that under just the 40 side of my rear seat in my super crew?
2. Also regarding that sub, should I get the dual voice coil or just the regular one? (whats the difference and why would you choose one over the other?)
3. Based on the specs provided above for those speakers and sub, how would you amp them? Tell me the amp or multiple amps you would use. So I guess give me a 5 channel you would recommend and then what you would actually suggest running (4 channel and a mono?).
4. Last question for now, would you suggest to attempt to run an active setup and bypass the crossovers that come with the components? Or just run it straight up as the package comes? If I ran active, would I need a pair of 4-channel amps? 4 channels for the fronts and then 2 for the rear and a bridged pair for the sub?
Sorry for all that, really trying to pin this down. Thanks so much for your help!
