what up every1. im new to the forums and dont really know much about car audio so i need some help. i have a 2004 ford explorer and it has the folding 3rd row and saw a video on youtube and this guy had 2 Fi BTL 18s and hifonics XX-Goliath in the same vehicle so i know 18s will fit but im not sure if thats what i want. i want something that hits VERY hard and CLEAR its nothing i hate more than people with systems that just sound like horrible loud noise. i want to be able to hear the lyrics and the highs and still have hard clear bass. so i need a lot of suggestions cause im itching to buy a system but dont know where to start. (please include what watt amp, wiring, whole 9 yrds) thanks

if your not trying to go REAL big then go with either 2 18" Fi Q's or 2 15" fi bl's. regardless fi's are real good subs and have great sound quality and can get really loud in tha right box

If you still want to be able to hear don't get BTL's, that will me a MAJOR strain on your electrical system, which will need to be upgraded anyways. Also, Hifonics would not be the best move, they aren't the most reliable amps in the out there. I'm going to be just like EVERYONE on this forum and recommend Sundown. But you want quality, so I think the Fi Q or BL is in your range, maybe the SSD. The Q is more SQ oriented, and the BL is more SPL oriented and the SSD is just under the Q in power handling, but not by much. Both can swing either way, because that is a very enclosure dependent question. If you want to upgrade your sub stage and still hear your lyrics, you will need to upgrade your front stage too(components).

I'd vote two Fi Q's on a Sundown SAZ-1500D. That'd be a NICE beginner system with some great sound potential.
