burpleranger Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 So, i am looking to hae a decent amount of money here soon. was thinking of doing new setup for my ranger, which would be the following: 2x DC lvl 4 12's DC 3.5K 3SIXTY.3 mechman 270 amp alt fosgate pps4-8 pair for the doors fosgate punch p300x2 for the pps4-8's new secondary battery (xs power?) DD-1 and CC-1 VM-1 damplifier pro bulk pack plus all the misc that goes with an install. but then, i realized for the same money or close to, i could get a repaint done on the truck, or do a V8 5.0 swap with 6-speed. so, damn, I'm not sure what to do now. grumble grumble grumble i'm happy with my system as it sits, i've just got that itch to do a new setup, really want to have true mid-bass drivers, and want to try to stiffen up my back wall, tired as hell of it fappin behind me all the time, but to do that I would need new boxes, and if im gonna do that, might as well upgrade. ohh, currently have a pair of fosgate T-1's powered by an old audiobahn amp(still works great even though its about 6 years old), alpine pdx amp powering my hertz 165's, kenwood kdc-x995. Where does Burpleranger come from? My ranger is a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge, Sonic "Blue" In a certain light it looks purple, but then it also looks blue. lol Everyone's system is "the best" in "their own mind" (this includes me, even though i "know" its not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Do the motor and engine work first. If you like how your shit sounds now, don't change it. Get the motor done then start upgrading for more power. Gotta ask, you going to try a new 5.0 coyote in a ranger? or an old 5.0 302 motor.

Toofast4u Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 It depends what you'll be more happy with. You have more than decent equipment now, but what you're planning is a big step up. I'm more into having a bad ass system than performance mods. Depending on how your current paint job is looking right now I'd do either paint or system first. Just my .02 Or you could just re do your sub box, then have money left over to put towards one of the other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burpleranger Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 yeah, the paint is in dire need, have some serious fade on my drivers door (had to be repainted after a wreck a few years back) and rock chips galore thanks them using said rock chips in northern Idaho instead of sand or deicer in the winter. and the inconsiderate college kids with there door dinginess.

CleanSierra Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Dad and I did a 5.0 Ranger years ago with an EFI from a Mustang. We mated a 5 speed and it was a fun little truck . I had the opportunity to use my sister's Splash and do the same thing, I kick myself in the ass for passing that one up Do the engine swap, be prepared to put some work in though. Anymore there are companies doing conversation kits I believe. Relocating core support and stuff still has to be done though, it was fun. Let us know what you plan. No substitute for pulling gears in a little truck though, very awesome. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
