My first Mod

[justanothersmith]

in regards to issue 1... what i did was take the bracket out drill out the rivet and use a bolt and two nuts. the nuts sandwiched the sheet metal through the existing rivet hole. i didnt have a rivet gun that big or any rivets. either way you have to drill out the existing rivet. i found there was a common problem with the rivet head things that ford put on... apparently they fall off... poor design:thumbdwn:

Thanks for the advice dude! I'll look into doing that

That intake looks familur hmm . Glad to know a part of my mounty lives on.
As for amps, what kind of subs are the rockfords? like model number and stuff. i can't really suggest an amp with out knowing the power handling and such.
If i knew you were doing stereo i would have sent you a cd player install kit and harness with the intake.

 

[Xan]

Btw if you need some chrome, sexy cragar wheels to put some big tires on i think we can work out a deal

The lift kit can be done pretty easily in 8 hours short of major problems. Pending it's install date, I may be able to make it up that way...

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention you can just ask the guy I got them from....sorry Dan

 

[Xan]

so you're talking about this guy? Looks like you don't need much of an amp to push these.

Good: AP600 (cheapest , this is a smaller company but there amps work really nice) California profile
Better: Kenwood excellon KAC-X20 (gotta love the excellon)
Best: Memphis 16-ST300 (memphis is my fav for amps they are clear, suck a low ammount of power, and last forever)


Sorry it took so long to get back to ya, i have the flu and it was kicking my ass. thank god for gatoraid

He'd need a big over, or a really hot blow dryer or something
