So I'm going to running a stripped interior (everything but seats; no dash) as this is going to be a autocross car (86 Mustang Coupe), however it will be driven to and from the track and I need some tunes along the way.
I will be using heat/sound barrier on the firewall and roof but thats it. The trunk area will not be closed in with the rear seat or rear deck cover. I know this is not even close to being a good environment for the stereo, but its what I got.
I have CDT components, 2 8" CDT subs and a Kenwood amp and deck. Since the interior is gone I can mount the speakers just about anywhere.
What would be the best placement for the mids and tweeters. I know the tweets should be at ear level, how about the mids? Also since the truck area is open which direction is best for the subs to face? I would say facing up like a hatch back.
Thanks!

 

Heres what I got:

 

thats all heavy as hell. are you planning on taking it out at the track? if so some footwell pods with quick connects would be best for the mids. quick connects for the subs aimed up as you mentioned if its a sealed box. if its ported you will have to see how the sound folds in your car and aim accordingly.

you might also want to consider ditching the rear mids and running a single set of mids with the subs running off the rear channels and cut out the 2nd amp.

 

BTW, those headunits are horrible, the flipface will die soon if it hasn't already.

 

Yeah its all going to be removable, sub box and amp rack. I'm going to run only one set of mids and one amp as you suggested. Sealed box for the subs.
I ran the deck with no probs, we'll see I guess.
Thanks for the info.

 

Tactile sound drivers under the seats. No box. make the seperates into coax's and put them in some fiberglass kick panels. I'm doing a convertible suburban this way (has basically no interior) and it is awesome. We're adding a quarter wave 8 center console, but just the tactiles and the 2 way's are enough for most.

I have to work with what I got, all the other money is going elsewhere.
Should the mids be low to the floor or up higher? In the door or on kick panels?

Ok so I guess I should have said this from the start; the amp rack and sub box are going to be removable, I just need tunes to get me to and from the track, I'm not looking to win any audiophile awards. I already have this stuff so its going into the car.
