start by dynamatting everything...and then get bags of polyfill and poke a small hole in them let the air out and shove them into any space you can and they will expand so you will have a deadened car...Then make your own kicks using one of the tutorials we have here. JL and Alpine are also very clean amps so use those

Do you plan on competing or is this just for personal use?

That Head unit is a good start they put out some excellent sound quality. But how much are you looking to spend on the whole setup?

The Thunderbird uses 4x6 speakers as it's speaker and I would ditch those and fabricate kick panels for a set of 6 1/2" components and then mount the tweeters in the A pillars about 6" from the dash. This will enhance your imaging in the front stage. You should be able to get a decent SQ set up with $ 2000.00, but don't skimp out on cheap interconnects because it will hurt you in the end. Make sure that you have high quality RCA's and proper gauge wire for amplifiers and speakers.

I have worked on the Thunderbirds before and with enough knowledge and tools, anything is possible. 6 1/2" speakers will fit in there ( just have to move some stuff around ).
