So if i go with the 15" X is it a good sub that i can use everyday and can hit? Or should i just go for a ssd 18"? There will be an extreme difference btwn the two. lol 15" X will sound great, and keep your budget happy. 18" SSD will also sound great but will have more output. However it will exceed your budget for sure.

You'll have to go cheaper than SSD because even a 12" SSD will be around $250 and the amp will cost around the same. That's already $50 over your budget for just a sub and amp. If you still wanna go Fi I'd look into the 15" X. It will cost less than the SSD and require less power, therefore a cheaper amp.

18" wouldn't change head unit or amp price. You'll pay for the space and enclosure size however.

F150 regular cab. I actually met Mark today nd he took a look at my car and I also talked to one of the box builders...Mark was kind of leaning towards the two twelves sealed and the box guy and my friend were leaning more towards the ported 12...so its tough to say and I am sure its hard to really say which will be louder...haha toughest decision of my life must have an easy life if this is your toughest decision... Forreal!

Lol. How about you google some o-scopes. Not very cheap.....

damnnn. edit: Photoshop eh?

Haha thanks.

You post whore.. LOL EDIT: my bad! Lanc'E'lot

It sounds really good. Not very loud but the quality is great. If you plan on sticking with sealed get the high qts option. My buddy Logan kept that option standard because we're about to remove the center console and go ported

Haha! Pretty sweet chit. Only way we could make it work. Fits like a glove though

I'm thinking like Drew. That's gonna be a hell of a job getting 2 18's to fit in the trunk in the right size box. Sealed, possibly. Ported, no way. Please prove me wrong

Nah I'd definitely do it right. I'm sure Drew would be the first person I'd go to about it. lol

Now c'mon I know there are more opinions out there...

Suspension-wise, i've had two large motorcycles in the back (although it did bottom out a couple times) weighing roughly 800 lbs and it was okay. All of the weight is in the front of the truck, it handles much better with something in the back. Like a box with a few subs?

I noticed that the engine bay is very easy to work around and doesn't seem complicated whatsoever.

I've heard the same! Definitely a major dealbreaker is the reliability.

It would become my daily driver and a somewhat project vehicle. I don't need it to haul anything really, just looking to make it a unique street truck. Mainly do some cosmetic work, maybe exhaust and intake. This but not to that extreme. lol

Thank you sir! Yeah they have all the records on it, etc. and it seems to be in great shape. Took a quick look and drive today and was pretty satisfied.

That's the plan. Need more experienced insight however. lol From the way brandonf talked about his, this thing is a hardass. Hence the name 'Hardbody' lol

Thanks alot man. This is the stuff I like to hear! Keep 'em coming!

That's the plan. Need more experienced insight however. lol

OMG i would cry and pee on myself at the same time.....

Ok so I've been looking for a new vehicle lately and I came across an interesting find. 97 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Truck. 2 wheel drive, 4cyl 5 spd. Single cab. It's a one owner truck, looks and runs great. Seller is local (15 min from my house). They're asking $2900 which is too high but negotiable (I'm thinking $2000 tops). Only problem I have with the truck is the mileage, 200k I really want to make something nice out of it. Rims, lower/bags, possibly blowthrough Wanted to know your honest opinion. All the research I've done leads me to believe the truck is extremely reliable and cheap to fix. What do YOU think?
