Car Audio Friendly Vehicles

I am looking to buy a truck or hatchback pretty soon and I want something that is easy to install car audio.
This means much depth for speakers and easy to put in the head unit, etc. Car can be new or used.

I tried building door pods and they turned out okay. I'd rather have something I could just add a strong baffle and screw in...something like 3" - 4" deep or something.

Any suggestions?

Chevy Blazer or GMC Jimmy, they are pretty easy to install in, even I can do it.

chevy s10 or obs silverado

as stated, Blazer/Jimmy

Here are a few pics I found on the S10 site I posted them on last year. Not super high quality but you get the idea:


The last pic is of the box in the bed before I had the spray in bedliner done. It ended up being all black so you couldn't really tell what it was... just looked like a fuel cell or utility box. My buddy owns a sign shop, so we put an Alpine logo through his wireless table router and had it cut out of plexi, and used that over the front of the subs.

crx or s-10 extended cab, best vehicles for car audio...

The S-10 does not have 3-4" mounting depth for mids. It just doesn't. Please read his thread. The curvature of the door doesn't really provide for a simple bolt-in experience.

If you want something with good gas mileage you can look at Fords Mercury Mariner, or yea the explorer, I prefer the Mariner because its more luxurious, we have two and I absolutely love them.

Interesting posts.

Thanks for all your comments. I guess I am leaning towards a small truck or hatchback due to fuel economy. I'd like an SUV but driving expense is too great.
