Ughhh... here I go again!

Reluctantly I am going to do this, although I am having a hard time getting motivated to do it.

I am replacing the factory head unit, door speakers and adding a sub to my recently acquired 07 ST Limited.

The T45 Thunderform includes the older model Thunder4500 10" sub at 225 watts RMS, while the FPR Thunderform includes a newer shallow mount FPR 10" sub at 300 watts RMS... if I am getting it right.

I am not really up to building my own box, finishing it, installing the driver and amp. I think one of the MTX Thunderforms will serve me plenty well enough.

What I am really more undecided about is the door speakers and whether or not to use the factory amp or go ahead and install an aftermarket amp. I am thinking an aftermarket amp might be worth it. I am going to have to run a power wire to the battery anyway, so mounting an amp on the rear wall behind the seat and using a power distributor for powering it and the sub amp would be fairly easy to do.

One option would be to get the non-amplified version of the Thunderform, saving about $200 and applying that money towards a 5-channel amp, powering the sub and door speakers.

XD700/5 - JL Audio 5-Channel 700W Class D Amplifier - $400 shipped.

an aftermarket amp for your regular speakers is always worth it in my opinion as long as you can afford it.

I am definitely leaning in that direction since I would have to run a power wire to the back anyway... may as well let it work for me with a 5-channle amp.
