2005 Ford Escape (Proposed Build Log)
I think most of you know that I sold my Mercury Milan (build log is on here) I have had a company supplied vehicle for about 4 years now and my my Milan sat in the side yard collecting cob webs. I pulled all the stuff out, sold some, kept some, and haven't messed with car audio for about a year.
My wife's car is a 2005 Ford Escape. It came with the factory Mach 300 system. It's a 6CD in-dash changer, 5x7s in the door 2" wide band speakers in the sails, and an 8" sub molded into the back.
I have some equipment, I have a plan, I do not have "permission" :ohwell: yet. :whistle:
I really can't guarantee that this build will even happen. This may be the most epic of fails in build log history.
That being said.
Here is the proposed equipment list:
Source: Pioneer AVH-X2700BS http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...H-X2700BS.html
Processor: The built in network mode in the HU
Amplifiers: Arc Audio KS300.4
Arc Audio KS 300.2 (maybe)
Speakers: Diamond Audio M661 Component set (will run the midbass active)
Tang Band W2 in the factory sail panel locations
Subwoofer: Option 1 use the factory 8" sub and amp. I think I can make it sound better than the >200hz crossover it currenty has
Option 2: Cerwin-Vega Stroker 12 in a removable box run bridged on the Arc 300.2 :D
SoundDeadenerShowdown CLD tiles
The plan is to mount everything so you can't see anything except the head unit. All speakers will be using stock locations, the sub is still up in the air.
Here is a picture of the unsuspecting victim.

Smells like fail to me.
Unless... the Stroker 18 comes out to play.

I'm in fail or no! Good luck on yer permission mission, I now know what all the honey - do projects were about! Staying tuned for possible stroker action, and yes, that was my vote for a yank on the factory woofer.......
Re: 2005 Ford Escape (Proposed Build Log)
Hmm so instead of a time machine into the past I'll need one into the distant future the hear this one...IF she lets you? How much air does the old Stroker need to be happy? If she stops you in your tracks maybe you could put a better 8" in the factory location? Papacueball had a JBL gto8 sealed and later ported it in the stock sub location of his Pontiac Vibe. Sounded pretty good. That 2700 is the headunit I'm about to buy. Will have a backup cam with it.
