[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.
