[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8717989, member: 614752"] Without doing some extreme modifications you're simply not going to get good low frequency out of your doors or other factory locations. For what fits as far as plug and play into factory holes go over to Crutchfield website and plug in your vehicle information there. Their site is very good at displaying what fits, what you'll need to integrate into anything factory and while their prices are a little higher than you might find elsewhere they have a fine selection and their customer service is top notch. As far as brands, stay away from the flea market tier brands, and try to get at least one tier above the entry level and you should be fine. The stuff from respected brands should all perform very similar across price tiers (the 150$ Rockford coaxials would perform on par with the 150$ offering from Alpine, JBL, Kicker, etc.) I personally like the JBL/Infinity lineup a lot but there's loads of other stuff that can get you to the same place. If you're a carpenter I see no reason you couldn't build some sort of subwoofer box to fit somewhere that keeps the cone from being damaged by tools or whatever. Even a single 8" subwoofer or pair of 6" subwoofers in <1 cubic foot box will fill in your low end nicely and you should be able to fit something like that somewhere in the cargo area and keep enough room for your work stuff.
