I drive a 91 Ford xplorer ,eddie bauer edition.Its got sunroof if that makes a diff.Any imput would be great.Im thinking somthin like 2 12's.budget be between 2 and 3K aftr i save up.Need to buy sum 0 ga aswell outta that and i have a good deck already.

Thx for reading.:smilie_da

all you need is a pair of good 10's that can take 1500-2000 rms

and a real 3k amplifier that can burp at a low load. in that car you should do 150+ with the suggested gear no problems.

also need a good battery, a real battery and not the stuff from canadian tire and atleast 4 runs of 0 gauge.

oh, and get a meter.

Thanks.

Do i even wanna kno what a meter costs? And Would i need upgraded alt or..

Can i ask you a few brands i should look into? i kno a few but not to many

All ive used is stuff like Type R's T1s n t2's etc etc i wanna get like right into spl

no keep the stock alt. get a proper spl battery like a Hawker or NorthStar Batteries and also get a proper battery charger.

for amps, get an Earthquake PHD10, best budget spl amp. for subs, anything with 1500 or more RMS handling will work. I think you'd probably break into 150's with a pair of Kicker L7's. but they wont last long.

here are some brands of subs u can consider

Digital Design
Atomic Loud Speaker
Fi Audio

there are many more tho

meter costs around $650, thats not including a laptop or a computer that runs it.
