GripStang-MTX

Gripstang, here is the bracket I made up to hold down the MTX

 

[Kryo-Genik]

cool.
Is the bolt already in the cab or did you have to drill through the floor to get it in there?

That hole is there for the stock storage box. Well, for some of us anyway.

now wrap it in suede and embroid lightning on it

 

[Gripstang]

Dude very nice! Hmm I may have to do that, looks simple and secure.

So you have a bolt going up through the hole on the tab from the sub box with a nut on top? I like it.

I think I am indeed going to cover the box in something, the plastic is kinda ugly but it does kinda match the ugly plastic Ford put in the truck...

 

[SVT99RED]

how do those mtx's hit. I was thinking about getting some but didnt know if it would be worth it since it seems like such a good deal!

 

[203Cree]

Best bet....

Buy the box and some new subs, throw away the MTX's. I'm running Infinity's in there. Hits hard. Only thing is you have to run a Bridged amp, so make sure your's is up to the task.

The bolt that goes up through the MTX is a tappered head machine screw. The tappered head (think it was 5/16") just fits the hole and the box sits flush with the floor. Still planning (when the big thaw comes around) on doing something with the back floor area, the stock carpet doesn't completley cover. Also might look at doing something with the box itself, paint or covering.

My truck is also just about done. The body work is all finished and they just have to put the trim and other parts on, then inspect it mechanicaly. It looks pretty good from what I saw. The mech. told me he rejected two doors that they got in because of rust and insisted they get me a brand new door, so that was good. The best part is they fixed the cig. burn mark on my seat :banana: . It cost me $45 and I can't even notice it. I will try and find out the companys name and web site.

What kind of amp are you using to push them?

 

[203Cree]

What kind of amp are you using to push them?

I had a Blaupunkt awhile back. It worked great until I had to bridge it. Then it just didn't have enough power to push clean. Right now, I don't even remeber the name of what I'm running. It's a 700 watter tho, pushes nice and clean. I'm probably going to be changing the setup here shortly. Looking at a class D amp.

id suggest a fosgate. for the moneyower ratio you cant really beat a fosgate. they are way better amps than a fosgate for sure, but you will spend $$$$.

kicker here......love them solobarics
