I'm just lookin' to get a sytem that can be loud when I need it to be, but still be "family-friendly". I'd like the bass to have that Metallica "Wherever I May Roam" bass, that kinda kicks you in the ass but doesn't rattle the windows.
As for the sub, I'm seeing I'm gonna have an issue with placement - with all the room this fucking truck has, there isn't a great place to put it, and custom boxes aren't available yet (that I can see on the 'net anyway). I could try to make my own, but I can't even slice a ham, let alone MDF.
I'm more concerned with the head unit, amps and speakers, the sub is something I can always "work with". The truck has a stock Toyota head, double din so I'll need a kit, the front's seem to me 6 and 3/4 inch and are component, the rears are the same size but not component.
I used to like Pioneer door speakers for their clarity so I might stick with those, and I might actually go with a Pioneer head as well - Sony's always had more bass, but if I get the right sub I shouldn't need to rely on the head adding more bass.
I'm gonna ask some of the neighbor's kids where they got their systems done, the guy right next to me has 2 sons who both have nice sounding systems (even though they're always playing some KTU bullshit).
