    I had 4 15' inch Rockford Fosgate punch
    Bumping with 3 Rockford Fosgate P1000W

    You would be suprised how many car audio places throw out good stuff. Sold it all about a week or two ago, for $2,000.
    Im looking into getting 2 12' inch Solo X's, the bitches are hard to find.

    is it true that insulation makes your subs weak?

    it doesn't make them weak but it reduces sound quality in many ways.. if you don't insulate everything just begins to rattle.. and in many cases, sounds like absolute shit.

    just buy a line output converter and keep the stock head unit.

    then add your amp+subwoofer.

    just picked up a new amp... 2400 monoblock.. for like 130.

    now bumpin 2 12" Blaupunkts

    the old amp i had was fuckin ghetto style... chek it..

    a 400 watt kenwood 2/3/4 channel stereo amp.. had HPF and LPF so i had it on the low pass...

    each sub is 1200 watts.. so i was bumping a 2400 watt system with a 400 watt stereo amp.. but thats not even the ghetto part..

    i hook it up to a 400 watt power converter that was plugged into the cig lighter.. so everytime i turned the car off, i unplugged it from the cig lighter lol

    now i got the 2400watt bumpin the blauplunkts and the old 400 watt kenwood bumpin the door speakers [240watt pioneers]

    all hooked up by the one and only :D

    but god damn were those door speakers a bitch. about 3 hours for installation

    expeditions are one of the best vehicles to do audio in.
    if i were you i would put in two 15's in a ported box *or four, if you have the money. you already have the space available.

    now i'm not trying to knock you/talk shit. but i highly doubt you were pushing 2400 rms.

    and a 2400 watt amp for 130 bucks? again, doubt it.

    ************

    dont know if i posted these.

    naw, real talk, i was bumpin the 2400 with a 400 watt kenwood.. but the converter that the amp was plugged into was a 400 watt conveter.. so techinically it was 800 watts. but a ghetto ass 800 watts. i had to plug it into the conveter cuz the amp wasnt getting enough juice from my weak ass battery and i picked up the 2400 monoblock at the swap shop... it not a name brand amp.. like kicker or kenwood, or JL or anything like that.. some japanese brand plus i got a little hook up lol

    if i were you i would go for FI audio subwoofers. the BL series
    *1000 RMS each sub, but they can take a hell of a lot more.

    *i will be buying fi subs later on this year. :)

    Oh yea, be sure to upgrade your big 3 with 1/0 Gauge wire first before anything. it will save you a lot of headaches down the road. *Trust me, i didnt do this the fist time around.

    alot of people on a budget go for kicker products, i personally hate kicker audio. but it's up to you.

    kay, have you seen the Cadillac escalade Steve Meade did? That shit was insane, he got 30,000 watts! I just saw the video in a related video link or whatever on the video posted above. I'd give linkage, but I'm on an iPhone. I don't like it.
