I drilled a hole on the passenger side of the trunk using a nut and a bolt to secure the ground. Ive since sent to air-ride and moved the ground to the drivers side. Ill see if I have any pics.
The Maximos are my favorite entry level speaker, very smooth not harsh at all! Great choice!
A DSP is never required, however the benefits do outweigh the negatives so it is always a solid addition. The popular DSPs right now are the new Zapco, Helix, and the MiniDSP 6X8.

I'm Currently just using a Metra kit with an older Kenwood DNN-9255 nav multimedia unit. However my last few vehicles used an iPad for the main source so once my main install is done I will be doing an Ipad Mini. Focals are nice when tuned, I have some K2s and Access components laying around...
Its time I start my audio build, this will be mostly focused on Sound Quality competition, and will be a lengthy process.

You will need to run a power wire from the battery to the amplifier, and add a ground for the amp. The OEM signal wire and remote turn on wire can be used but they will need to be activated. To gain signal you have a couple options.
Option 1
Connect a device such as the LC2i to the rear...
You will need to run a +12 power cable from the battery, your signal for RCA, remote turn on and Ground can all be done in the trunk.
An amplifier wiring kit, RCA cables, amplifier, enclosure, and woofer are the main things needed. Being a premium car you will need a way to get a full range...
Sorry all, Ive been away for a while. I however have been getting quite a few PMs that Ive been answering. I will start funneling through the thread tonight.
Who is all hitting Mustang Week? We have a few spots in our condo available if anyone needs a place to crash. $200 for the week but you will probably need an air mattress. If your going down I know we are planning to roll deep if you want to caravan!
