Any specific brands you wanna go with?

Will the shop be building your box to? If so that could run 500 alone, don't buy a pre fabricated box as they normally have the minimal air space and are tuned in the high 40 hz area, which from what you said you don't want.

I suggest a 6th order or 4th order bandpass

We will need your trim package also incase they changed the speaker size/placements, highly unlikely but just a precaution


3: What exactly do you want your outcome to be? solid system equally sounding, like deep bass where it massages you and hard hitting, i listen to alot of dance music pop, rap, and some death metal
I suggest having a custom box designed, either a box tuned around the low 40Hz or a bandpass box with one section tuned super low and one tuned high

4: And specific sub sizes that you prefer more than others?i've never owned any subs but i hear 15's are good for deep bass

im also including labor and the big 3 upgrade in this cost.
To cut labor costs, call ahead to the shop you will be bringing it to, and ask if they have deals like, if you buy the headunit there they install it for free, i know the shop i buy stuff at does this. and a discount for speaker installs if you buy them there.
This might get in the way of the specific stuff we pick out for you.


Alternator $580-610 --> http://www.iraggi-alternator.com/store.htm#!/Ford-Expedition-High-Output-Alternator/p/39681277/category=10375019

Speaker amp $120 --> http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67753_Rockford-Fosgate-Prime-R300X4.html

$2410 total

I'm assuming the shop will supply all the wire at an outrageous price so ill set that at $300 about

after all this you should be right at the 3k limit, if you wanna cut some money off, maybe a separate smaller battery in the back dedicated to your system would be better, might cut a few hundred off. I couldn't find a cheaper alternator so you're outa luck there.

Let me know if i missed anything or theres anything you want to add

No idea they were just examples of what they look like in case he didn't know.

4th order with octo would be the way to go but I'm sure it's out of his budget. Gotta cut labor somewhere else if he wants a perfect box.

E/ you know much about 6th order/4th order box designs?

I want to do a 6th order out of my Lincoln ls trunk with a massive octoport coming through the rear deck.

Got a 15" emf ermagerd in a ported box tuned to 30Hz atm
