Looking to do a "SQL" build on a budget. My budget only needs to include speakers,amps, and processing. I have 0 gauge wire, speaker wire, and terminals. The guy who did the custom kitchen cabinets in our house still owes me about 5 grand in labor so I will be getting a custom red oak box for free. As for the box size... from that I read on the f150 forms you can get around 1 to 1.5 cubes and most people are running 8s or one 10. If you guys think the budget can swing it I'll try a active front end. Never done one before...are they that much better than a passive system??

No I did not. If you buy the "sony upgraded audio" from ford for an additional 2K they place a small 8 inch sub behind the back seats between the cab and back of rear seat. I knew for a fact I could build a better system for less than 2 grand, as a result my truck does not have that small 8 in sub but the space where if could be mounted in there. the look something like this... I was thinking I could do something like this in its place M5: I should have been more clear in my post. I am thinking that an Subwoofer depth of 4 (Maybe 5) Inches will work. Not including the box

Yes One thing has not changed...YOU ARE STILL HERE M5 MAKING LITTLE KIDS CRY!!! Man I totally forgot all about you...SSA and M5 used to go hand in hand back in the day and still do apparently... Price was mention in original post...(line 7) $1500 to $2500 USD....

First off this place is TOTALY different then I remember (i used to troll this site for years under the SN 144dbFiBl15) Please ignore the newb status. I guess I have been away from this site for about 4 or 5 years...man time flys. Cant look back into my past posts, and all my pics of my former setups are gone... oh well ANYWAYS... Times have changed I grew up had two kids finished my E.E. degree and bought a new truck and the audio in this thing is CRAP. I started to look out on the ole inter webs and soon realized the game has changed since I have been gone. I am looking for suggestions as to brands or models of speakers i should try to run for a LARGE cabin space such as mine. I want to run a CLEAN setup nice crisp tight sound from 30htz up. System will hopefully fit the following criteria - Must use factory head unit unless you guys know of some after marker unit that can still control the ac / heat on the seats. - NO cutting of ANY factory wiring - System will have 4 doors and 1 center and 1 sub. - Total system draw should be under 800 rms (thinking 75 x 5 and maybe 400 to 500 for small sub) - Sub must fit in space less than 4 in depth - Shot guns and ARs go under back seats so no amps or subs can fit there. Amps need to be small and heat efficient - I don't want to spend any more than 1500 to 2500 turn key - Maybe a 16 or 24 band EQ I could setup from my phone??? Truck only has bass and treble adjustments I am just looking for your guys input of what brands to look into and what brands to look out for... Thanks in advance
