[Reece Cook 10+ year member]

Aight guys um i have a f-150 lariat extended cab. I do not have the money yet and don't nag on me how i should just get the money first and stop thinking. But i was hoping to put 2 kicker ten inches under back seat. And 1 kicker twelve inch up front by console. Then i would have 2 tweeters then speakers on all doors. Soo in all 2-10" and 1-12" sub, 2 tweeters and 4 speakers. My budget im guessing is around $3000 for everything even the boxes which are gunna be impossible to find for my type of truck. Ive already looked.

Idk what ohms,bridged,or how many amps. I have researched so much but still confused. Im only 15 soo i guess thats what i get.

Also will it sound bad to have 2 different subs. I was thinking 2 comps for back and a L7 for front.

Your plan is terrible....and you'd be foolish to drop $3k on Kicker equipment. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Is 3k alot for that amount of equipment and idk i have like a medal bar under neith the seat in the middle. Maybe i can unbolt it? Ford F-150 Extended Cab 00-03 Dual Subwoofer Boxes - Subwoofer Box | Subwoofer Enclosures | Car Subwoofer Boxes and Truck Subwoofer Boxes at SuperCrewSound I think thats the only one that would work but it doesnt look like deep enough it just looks wide that lil gap.

Nope that one wont work either cause i also have like that little hump in middle lined with front console if that makes sense.

For 3k you can get a very nice setup, especially since you're going with low power.

Look for a box builder on this forum, there are a few guys that do incredible work and will be able to give you exactly what you want.

If your truck is a 2000-2003 model extended cab F-150, that's the correct enclosure.

$3k is a lot for Kicker equipment. The Kicker equipment you want to purchase isn't very good. Mixing different sizes & models of subwoofers isn't ideal.

You have a lot to learn. Don't buy anything until you spend some time researching. And when I say researching, I don't mean looking at speakers online. I mean actual research. There's a lot of stuff you need to know. Don't be one of those idiots that rushes out to buy a bunch of shit only to realize 3 months later that your money was wasted. There are phenominal car audio manufacturers that you most likely have never heard of...

I have a 1999. Maybe its the same thing tho?

Aight sweet. Aha ******* question whats low power?

as in, you're very limited for space and unwilling to modify your vehicle or give up additional space for your audio. You can only give so much power to small subwoofers in a small enclosure.

The best thing for you to do right now (since you aren't buying right away) would be to hang around the boards and ask specific questions so people are able to give solid advice. See what brands are good, and what aren't.

Yea thats what i have been doing on google,youtube, and like just trying to read up but it still kinda confusing first starting out and wasnt very helpful. Plus i still have like 6months prolly till i even buy one piece. Well thanks guys! I actually have soo many questions but ill just see if they have already been answered first some where else!

a. dont spend 3k on kicker

b. dont spend anything on kicker unlesss its wire

c. dont mix sub sizes

d. idk where ur gonna put an l7 in the front but thats dumb.

e. research....do your homework before you invest in such an expensive hobby. 3k is an awesome budget and you could do sooo much better with that amount of money...shop around dont just jump right in

Welll um thanks for the advice i guess. And like their is a whole bunch of space between the console and like bottom dash. I guess if their was a middle seat upfront it would be room for the person to put their feet. And is it just retarded to put a sub up front in first place?
