2000 Mountaineer Build (from ramming to slamming Part II)(Slowest 15k build)(More limitless goodness)

[Rich Schenk]

Hello my name is rich and i am currently building a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer my daily driver into a 10k daily driver. I have been doing car stereo since i was 15 and this is going to be the second most advanced system that i have ever put together. So need as much help and criticism as possible. Want to learn as much as i can and have a nice build.
If you haven't read my other build log i started building a 97 hyundai Tiburon and after having my system up and going for a little over a month the trans blew. was loud as hell needed work but oh well. so had to find another daily driver and wasn't going to give up system so decided to go truck route (5 kids 4 girls, 1 boy)

My goals for this car are

• upper 150 dbs (if possible and musical) (not metered yet)
• to learn as much as possible (fiberglassing, body work, vinyl work)
• decent sq (don't want subs to over power everything)
• start with equipment that i have and slowly but eventually build to bigger and better equipment
