best car for my new build?


Recommended Posts

The 4.0 SOHC v6 explorer my mom had before her 4.6 Eddie Bauer was averaging 16 in town. 3.0 Ranger is a GREAT choice. We have a close friend that has 330k miles on a stock sealed 3.0 ranger. Admittingly, he is on his 3rd trans though.

A Subaru forester sounds perfect, big cargo area, 24 mpg AWD .. your " ski car "

and if you slam it, awesomeness

and ps, Subaru's have the easiest alt installation ever, google a subaru engine ,

that's what i was planning on, 3 subs strapped to 2 amps, .66ohm on 2 ct 1400

i like going against the grain! if i have the room id love 4 15s but this is me settling for less. if i was to do the ranger I'd go sealed

ok, i think i figured out what i wanna do. After hours of looking threw this site,YouTube, And google image. i wanna do 2 15s (vented 30hz) sealed off in a trunk. port and subs facing cabin box built into trunk. my goal will be a 140 i really think that's possible. with the amp(s) i will/have i have enough room for improvement. figure I'll run each amp at 1ohm un strapped. if i Cant do it then I'll strap them to .5. if that still Dont do the trick I'll go all out and run 16 volts. i doubt ill have to but at least it's possible. but now I'm gonna go with the ct meso instead of the strato so i can push more power. what do you guys think?

still trying to find a car but that's my idea for the new build. my MLK build!lmao

i just had a idea, i know it would be a bit of work. and i like having what others don't. i was thinking same thing as above but instead of port/vent facing cabin what about vent facing up into the deck lid? i dont think it would sound much different but i think it would look pretty bad ass. plus doesn't music usually sound better when it reflects of glass? or is that only tweets?

with 2 15's with port and subs facing cabin, you should have no problem hitting a 140... I hit a 145.2 with 2 12's facing up running with 1800w off 8 awg wire and no battery lmfao. Blew my fuse twice in a row. That was before I did Big 3 lolz.

I should add, DEFINITELY STAY AWAY FROM PCM CONTROLLED ALTS (caps intended). Mine upon start up is like 15'ish then once hot stays about 13.8 Not exactly where I want my best starting voltage to ever be no higher than FFS. Of course with a beast alt it keeps it up pretty good but still, pretend I went with gear all rated at 14.4 but never saw 14.4 :soapbox:
