Journey of the Escort wagon

[swanginfleet]

We're do I start?............Well its a 99 escort wagon. The car was originally bought for $1000 by my ex when we together about 2 years ago. Well like most females she didn't take care of it. We split up and even though the car was in my name I bought it from her for a whopping $500 due to a shop saying it had a bad transmission needed new tires.

Low and behold the transmission was fine. While changing the transmission fluid and filter I seen there was no o ring on the filter causing the transmission to slip when turning left.

So after getting new tires she was road ready.

I always regretted getting rid of a civic hatchback I had and remembered how loud my blazer was so a wagon was perfect in my opinion.

I started with a 10" Tree I got from my cousin. It was in a 1.75cf box @32 I had built a long time ago. I had it powered by a monstrous 4500 watt boss onyx.......

So being the Craigslist addict I am I found a guy that had two 15" hx2 punches and was look for something smaller for his truck. We did an even trade, my 10" Treo for his 15s with two boxes. I had about $30 in the treo so it was a good deal. Add $15 for gas and I paid $45 for some hx2 15s. I was redoing my Cadillac system at the time and had taken out my Memphis amps. So I chucked the Memphis 1000.1 on em with the sealed box. I hate pre fab ported boxes.

So I've always wanted power hx2s but figured I could settle for punch 15s. After having them for about a week I felt like they wouldn't satisfy my bass addiction. While surfing Craigslist I ran across some Fi bl 18s and got to talking to the guy and talked him into selling me one for $250.

It didn't take long to sell the 15s for $200 and I was on my way to get the 18. So basically I got a Fi bl 18 for about $100. While talking to the guy from Craigslist he told me he had a aq2200 for $250. Two weeks later I sold my Memphis 1000.1 and 100.4 for $270. I had traded a small welding machine I got for $10 for the 1000.1 and had gotten the 100.4 for part of fixing a system. Cost $40 to fix it. So I basically spent about $30 on the aq2200.
