If you use the 1 preout with Y-cables to go to 3 amps (or a 6-channel amp) and adjust your fader from the amps (won't be adjustable from the deck) - or use some of the deck's channels and amp the rest

It's dumb to go for 6 speakers in an F-body though. All you need is 2 + subwoofer. 4 + sub at most.

I want to mount my new deck using the mount kit from this site.

I just want to know one thing before I order it. I want red Illumination but there's two options for it. One is mini-lamp and the other is LED. It's also the a cost difference. Can anyone who has installed one of these or owns one of them please tell me the difference in the two?

well i'm not sure about JL making head units but here's my system. Alpine USB/IPOD headunit, JL 500/1 and 300/4, Infinity Kappa Perfect components front and rear, and JL 10W6V2 in a composite stealth enclosure. who cares what people say about JL. if you want a great, reputable, American-made brand then why not go with them? sure alot of the other stuff is comparable but it's not JL Audio. let us know what you come up with.

Well, I checked out the 12" subs today after work. They're the P1's. I'm getting the two subs, the box, and an amp which I didn't bother to look at for $250. Not a bad deal.
