Im not an audiophile by any means but I had a lot of assistance from my friend at work in parts selection and project direction. He has his own custom home theater setup and hes done a lot of software modeling to verify parts selection and performance. All of this stuff was way over my head. He will also be doing the DSP and system tuning after the install. I will only be pulling the front left and front right signals off the factory head unit to send to the MiniDSPs. I've ordered the following parts and will be installing them over the next couple of weeks. Total the system is running less than $1500 which is around what I originally budgeted and cheaper than 401A package.
Amplifier: JL AUDIO XD800/8v2 8-channel
Front Woofers: Dayton Audio RS180P-4 7"
Front Midrange: Dayton Audio RS100P-4 4" edit: Scanspeak Discovery 10F/4424G in post #87. MUCH better than these daytons for imaging
Front Tweeters: SEAS Prestige 27TFFNC/G
Rear Subwoofers: Dayton Audio LS10-44 10"
DSP: 2x MiniDSP 2x4 + MiniDC isolator + MiniDSP 4-way crossover plug-in
I did not want any sub enclosure in my trunk so the subs will be mounted under the rear deck with a spacer. The low profile size was a good application so it doesnt intrude on trunk space
It's been well over 10 years since I did an aftermarket system in a car. My last two cars were purchased with the factory Mark Levinson audio systems so I wouldnt have to upgrade. After hearing how lackluster the Shaker Pro one is in the Mustang I didnt bother with it and decided on doing aftermarket. I will try to take some pictures as I install the parts.
