Hairtrick in a FORD Expedition

[That1Kid]

Sorry guys... I know this is one of "those" threads. Just tryin to make up my mind before this build starts.

Gonna be running 4 DC lvl 4 18s on a DC 5k. Subs up, port back. Tuned between 32 and 34. I mostly want to have fun with this thing and give demos. Not worried about the meter. Just wanna know if this is gonna be enough for a hairtrick?? I know that is a lot of cabin space..

If not, its gonna get walled haha.

Edit: I know there is no way to know 100% until trying it. I just want your guys' opinions and advice from previous experiences.

I would build a wall.

I think it would be capable.

There's plenty of people with 2 18s in blazers, explorers and tahoes that are capable of doing hair tricks.

Isn't the expedition the same size as the navigator? Planing on keeping the 2nd row? If so subs up port back is not going to work worth a crap with 18s. Not enough space to do it in a optimal enclosure. Go walled or go 15s.

BTW I was able to hairtrick with 2 L7s 15s and only 2 zx1000.1s out of my Navigator. My Xl 15s do pretty nice now. Enclosure will make or break you.

Why not? ^^^

Same size as tahoes

should be nasty either way if no hair trick with subs up port back then wall it

They maybe different then the Navi. Mine had a 3rd row. With it gone and a fake floor in its place i get a whopping 16.5 cube gross matching the 2nd row seat angle to gain there and matching seat height at 17.75" tall. I only have 6 inches from box to the back hatch wall. Going taller cuts the airflow forward and IMP rise is higher too.

So finding 8 more cubes just to get ideal net? Then displacements? Not going to happen without a wall or losing 2nd row. Unless as i said it is different then the navi with is the same thing with a different badge lol

Interesting, J.Reed

Thanks for the input fellas.

It'd be cool if someone with a similar setup could chime in. Someone with a full size suv, 4 18s 5k rms, subs up/port back.

I've done a lot of searching over the past few days, but all the builds similar to this are running a ton more power.

IM running 4 15s, subs up port back in a Navigator on ONE 3500d.1. Don't know how thats not similar. Less cone and power at that. Hair tricks are no problem at all. I could do hair tricks with 2 L7 15s and only two ZX1000.1s in the same vehicle. As I said before the enclosure will make or brake you. If you have the larger newer expedition you "might" be able to fit 4 18" subs up port back with 2nd row still in, doubt it, but walled or going to 15s would be even better.

I also designed a box for 2 18s in a 4 Runner on 1800rms that can trick all day long. Subs up port back. Again Enclosure WILL make or brake you. If you cram 4 18s with low net and port area its not going to do half as good as doing an OPTIMAL enclosure to what FITS the vehicle.

4 18s and 5k power is more then enough if designed correctly ie enclosure that works well with the equipment or could also be the biggest waist. Sometimes less is more.
