Anyone have this setup

[tex512 10+ year member]

Ok so heres my story. Had plans to put in a 15" btl into my tahoe I was getting soon. Already have my amp and what not. Well my dad is old fashion and hates systems. Says, "It's a bunch of n****r s**t." So when he learns that I wanted to put a system in my tahoe out of spite he's now buying me a ford f150 single cab. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif So now I have pretty much no space to put my planned system. So I was wondering if anyone had a truck simular to this and how they put a system in theirs. I'm pretty bummed becasue this was going to be my first system and I was pretty excited....thanks for any help you guys have

tell him 'you're right, i don't need a system.' get the tahoe, then put a system in after you 'don't like the stock system.'

a good system makes music sound better, not neccesarily louder. at least tell HIM that.

I really wish I could pull stuff like that but theres no way, he wont get it for me now that he knows what I want to do...man, parents sure can be ignorant sometimes.

What if you buy the Tahoe yourself?

threadstarter i warn you now, be prepared for the numerous bashings you are about to get from some of these guys for saying that your parents are buying your car.

I do not care one bit. I'm not complaining I'm just looking for someone with the same type of space to work with and what they did.

Here's a thought -

"Dad, being able to customize my car is really important to me. So rather than you buying me a car, how about you co-sign a loan on the car I want? I'll make the payments & build a crazy sound system with what's left over."

[You'll need a job for this to work, of course.]

Good used Tahoe's can be had around $12,000. A 3-year loan is about 350/month, that means you need maybe $450/month for insurance, tag & payment. That means find a job where you make $112.50 after taxes per week. Not tough. Any extra goes to a rockin' system.

Bonus - now dad's so impressed with your independance, self-reliance & motivation that he buys you a great deck for the new ride.

This is more impresive if you go get the job & save up a grand before making the sales pitch. Should take you 2-3 months.

I had 3 tens behind my seats in a reg cab ranger

I've really wanted to do that and have a job but my parents limit me to only working part time becasue they want me to focus on school which I can understand. I would be more than willing to work my *** off so I could have my own car, but it can't happen...

what are you looking for in a system? earthshattering base or what? chevyman i think is his username has 1 fully loaded 12" btl in a single cab and is hitting close to 150 i believe.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif Here's a thought: he is 16 years old and his parents are buying him a vehicle. He seems pretty grateful overall and seems to be moving on with the fact that it's not the vehicle he "wants". There's really nothing he has to prove here. Get a car bought for you, move on, and install a system.
This isn't a parenting forum.

Now with this said, I would do 3 10's sealed. Depending on your budget, you really have a lot of options. Another thing you could probably fit is 4 8's ported. That would really thump. I've also seen many trucks with 2 12's sealed in them.

Just let us know which you would prefer, and we can give you more suggestions.

i think he has an IA 20.1 wired down to .5 I believe, but has the electrical system behind it to keep it strong.
