[QUOTE="BCotrell, post: 8696555, member: 666314"] Those focus hatchbacks are like giant sub boxes when done right. The throw off the back hatch is solid. Two twelves or fifteens in the budget you’ve set will immediately drown out your factory front stage but in order to really get good sound out of whatever substage you buy you’re going to first have to achieve a deequalized clean signal. While An aftermarket headunit would be the best choice, a competent dsp would be next best thing. After that get some subs that will move on an amount of power that you’re electrical can sustain. That focus has a 150 amp alternator so probably can take 1200-1500 watts without too much stream but you might want to leave some room for a four channel when the bass drowns out your factory front stage. -helix h8 dsp or jlfix86 dsp (new hu would be cheaper and easier but your call) $400 -taramps md1800 - $190 -2 ab tnt’s (10’s ported or 12’s sealed for box ease, both scenarios allow you to keep some cargo space.
