Hello Dirk!
I did not amplify the speakers. the speakers are 1,000,000 times better than the dbx Polks in the Bronco running off of deck power. I put the tweeter in the lowest setting on each. I think -6 on the front components and -3 on the 5x7s in the rear. I turned it up to 26 and everything sounds good. I don't think I'll worry about amping them yet. I do need some bass though. I currently have the speakers on a high pass filter at 60hz from the deck to keep me from blowing them with sloppy bass.

I think the Kappas are even better than the Polk MOMO's in Seven. I'd like to amplify them in the Fox and maybe get a set for Seven if I like them.

Man I was just giving you hell

But it is never a good thing when they sound like they are ripping.

Glad you like them! You definitely want it on -6 for the fronts. It sounds horrible otherwise.

Not so sure that would fit in my front doors.

Obviously not. Maybe I'll try these later this spring when I have some extra money. My kappas just aren't loud enough for me right now.

Nathan-Did your Fox have door speakers? mine had never been touched. It still had the white plastic wrapper over it.

I ran new 14ga. speaker wire from the dash to the doors. Also ran them to the tweeter locations.

Where did you put the crossovers?

I put mine behind the head unit where the factory amp location would have been. It was tight but everything git in there. Then I ran the ipod cable to the ash tray and removed the metal tray. So when I want it I can lift the ash tray door and plug in. Cool thing is this Alpine cable works with my 3GS iphone. The JVC in Seven doesn't.

I have kenwoods in the back of the GT for now. They're not bad.

Nope, no door speakers. Just the little plug wrapped up in their somewhere. All it originally came with was the two dash speakers. It had the radio delete package, and my uncle rigged up some old tape player and some 6x9s in the trunk. I put the crossovers up under the dash somewhere. Just found somewhere they fit nicely and out of the way.

I may buy these or these. Floating ping FTW!!
For pistons, I may go the cheap route for the moment, unless a deal for forged ones appear

Web to the junk yard today, got 3 tires for 45 bucks. I didn't inspect one close enough, has cracks in the tread, so I'm going back tomorrow with my dad to exchange it and possiby another one that is gonna need a plug I think. That is, if we can get the lugs to break off of an old f150. It's got 2 good tires on the front, both stuck on cuz of 1 rusted lug. Me an my dad going back, with wd40 and a bigger cross bar tire iron. Wish me luck
