My '00 Mounty came with the Mach audio system, but the PO had replaced the head unit with a Sony CDX-M8800. The unit itself seems to be quite capable and the sub amp is wired to the unit's sub output via RCAs. The front and rear speakers appear to be the stock Mach pieces. The steering wheel controls are not attached.
I want to perform a mild upgrade, so I ordered a set of 4 Pioneer TS-A6885R for the front and rear doors, along with a Pioneer TW-SW2002D2 sub to replace the stock unit in the stock enclosure.
I'm concerned with the new sub being powered by the stock sub amp since the new sub calls for 150W RMS, 600W peak with dual 2 ohm coils. I haven't torn into the truck yet, so I don't know what kind of space I'm limited to. I've read 3"x7"x1" for stock amp dimensions on another forum post here, but would like to know if I could accomodate a RF amp with the dimensions: 1.53" x 4.25" x 8.2" in the same area as the OEM amp. Thanks in advance!
