A lot of choices. Dc lvl 5 , sundown NS, Fi Btl.....
this
Just about everyone here will tell you to get the forum nuthugger brands(Fi/AA, DC, Sundown, AQ, Obsidian, etc.) You just have to research and choose what you think will fit your needs. Nobody here can tell you what sub work best for you. And at the same time you really can't go wrong with any of the brands mentioned.

For $30-$50 per woofer, I honestly think xplodes are pretty damn good
You aren't going to find much better gear until you start looking at the lower lines of Pioneer and Kicker. Another vid for the haters that I just happened to see in another recent thread
But agreed, for $200 I'd just do a single sub setup unless you wanna run something like 2 10's. I'd rather have 1 good sub over 2 shitty subs. I'd do what others have recommended and get something like a Sundown SA-15 or a Fi SSD. Another good choice would be the AudioQue SCD2.5 series. They are running a sale now and you can get a 15'' for $150. Hell of a deal if you ask me.

Speaking of the 97-04 F150's, I still laugh every time I see this video.
-
Thats why F250+ >>>>>>>> F150 forevar.
Yeah.. because everyone needs a 3/4 ton truck and the ability to tow 20k+ lbs...

nice pics! I went to the corvette museum probably about 5 years ago. Very cool place.

If you are wanting a serious radar detector that will actually work, I'd get at least either an Escort Passport 8500 X50 which will run you a little over $300, or a Valentine 1 which is about $400. One of my best friends used to run a Passport 9500ix which is one of their top of the line detectors(its a step above the 8500 X50) with GPS capabilities built in and it was really nice and was especially good against falsing in cities. The only thing he didn't like about it was the ramp-up wasn't that great once it detected a threat. So he sold it and got a V1 and has run that for over a year now. It falses more than the Escort but nothing beats it in raw detection. We've tested it and to this day it's the only windshield mounted detector that can actually provide slight protection against laser. But if you're really worried about laser.. a jammer is pretty much the only way to go.
EDIT: And please stay away from the shitty Cobra detectors that you see at places like Best Buy and Radioshack. No lie a lot of those will EMIT more radar than they detect.

The sub "family" videos are my personal favs lol

You should have asked this question in the Fi section. You could also try PMing NDMstang65 and he'd probably help you out.

I just put all of them on a decaf playlist and keep it on random

But that causes voice coil cancer, no?
Yeah it can, but my sub usually puts out a few more dee beez when it's buzzed so its a risk I'm willing to take.
-
when i turn up the music, my subs pop, lock and drop it.
how do you get yours to dip?
I usually just put a fresh can of skoal wintergreen in the port.

Unless you've got some kind of infinite baffle setup, I have no clue how you are going to properly fit a box for an 18 inside the trunk of a neon.

i dont really get what youre saying. the 1800 on your rockford amp probably means 1800w peak. my friend has an mtx amp that 600 rms 1800 peak. go off the rms rating when choosing an amp and if its not cea compliant then its probably overrated
Not true. It just means the company didn't pay to have the CEA certification. There are still many good amps that will do rated that aren't CEA certified. AQ and Crescendo are two brands off the top of my head.

meh, its a really cool project car and I'm sure dude spent a lot of time and money on it, but for $89k I'd take a Nissan GTR any day of the week. I just couldn't bring myself to pay almost $90k for something that has the underpinnings of a 9 year old Mercury. Plus, I would be kind of embarrassed when people would want to go for a ride and it be slow as shit, or when you pop the hood and see a tired old 2.5L V6 lmao.
When I'm paying that much for a car, I want the performance to match the looks
-
man I love those old burbans.. if I had the cash to: A. buy one and B. pay for the gas to fill those beasts up I would.
I would be wary of rust though. As long as it's not to the chassis/frame you should be good. Also what kind of motor does it have?
And I really don't get your question about cramming weight into it, those things were built to haul shit lol.

Man I've got a drinking and driving story for yall
Like 2 weeks ago, one of my dumbass friends got so wasted at a house party and decided to try and drive home. Long story short, he got completely lost and he ended up driving down a dirt road that was on a private ranch and he ended up taking out a 25 ft section of wooden fencing and crashed head on into a tree doing 40 mph. And to top that off one of the wooden slats from the fence went through the windshield and was about 2 feet from taking his head off.
The biggest BS of this story.. remember the part about all this happening on a private ranch? Well here in TN, you can't be charged with a DUI on private property... even if it isn't your property. All the cops could charge him with was trespassing, and the owners didn't even press charges. Oh, and this will probably mean nothing to most of you guys, but the owners happened to be part of Ingram family that started the Ingram cancer center at Vanderbilt.
But I was so pissed he got off like that. Sorry for the long story, I just figured this was an appropriate thread to vent.
OP sorry for your loss as well.

The first time I tried 4Lokos I had the grape and watermelon flavors and I thought they tasted alright. With me at least, I would get a good buzz going from the alcohol, but then when I wanted to pass out for the night, all the damn sugar and caffeine would keep me awake all night and I would just feel like shit.
They are kind of a bitch drink too imo... nowadays the only people I really see drinking them are either chicks or highschoolers.
-
If you're on a budget, I'd just get 1 really good 15 because it could easily beat 2 12's if you put it in a good box. But if money is no concern, then get 2 really good 12's.
-
damn I need to get me one of them cold air intakes that gives you a 130HP increase
-
the way the judge handled the situation was just a stupid as the dude who gave the finger imo
I mean 6 days in jail? for flipping a bird? really?
And I'm pretty sure NOBODY listened to the judge's bs 10 minute rant.. give me a break. There are more important issues at hand other than some jackass trying to be cute on tv.
-
I would honestly just buy an iPod. A moped sound system just seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth.. especially when it's only a 49cc. Start loading that thing down with equipment and you won't top 30 mph lol
-
take it off?
And you sure it's your rearview and not some plastic in your headliner? Mine does the same thing except its the built-in sunglasses holder up near the reading lights and higher bass notes rattle the shit out of it.. annoying as hell. And my rearview will shake like a sumbish but it's basically silent

sell it and find a new truck.
This
For what you pay to convert it, you might as well just get a new truck.

I really don't see a problem if the dustcap is just getting "somewhat" warm. Heat is a natural byproduct of electricity
You aren't going to find much better gear until you start looking at the lower lines of Pioneer and Kicker. 
2-3k 18in suggestions please

Chill bro no need to get butt hurt. I just meant that those brands aren't really widely known outside of forums like these. And you can't tell me that there isn't some serious bias towards certain brands here *cough DC*
And believe it or not, yes there is good mainstream equipment out there too. Not everybody has to be cool and get an underground brand nobody's heard of.
