what do you recommend for somone on a budget. i figured i would buy my box/subs from tech12volt. i have heard about the m3s. how much would it be for 2 12" m3's in a box. what amp? what mids? w/ 2 12s do i need a component tweeter package? and what is a inexpensive video H/U, preferably w/ nav, but not necessary. not a flip out, just one that sits in permanent. thanks in advance...
That's an interesting budget you have there...I wish I had your budget!
Do you have a Titan or the Explorer listed in your sig? As far as I know, 12s won't fit in a Titan without removing the back seat.
I would say the Pioneer Avic D3 for your head-unit, I believe tech sells those.
Also, you'll probably want a component setup, for at least the fronts. 6.5's in the door and the tweeters in either the factory location or in the A-pillars.
well, i'm pretty sure 12s fit. but the video head unit is not a must, i just wanted it so i can put a back up camera in my bumper. but i don't plan on getting this for awhile. this will come after the lift, exhaust, and intake. i can live w/ the rockford fosgate in the LE for a while...
i currently own an explorer, but will be getting a titan this summer

Ahh...planning ahead...good thinking!
I'm sure tech will chime in here but, no, 12s do not fit without taking the back-seat out, I know for a fact in a KC and I don't think I've seen 12s fit in an underseat box in a CC.
oh ya. i'm a planning ahead kind of a guy. go in to the general titan discussion and check out my wish list and tell me what you think. i 12's dont fit in the CC, then i would like to go w/ 2 10" M3 in tec12volt box where he puts in the Titan logo, and the RF logo as well. that would be badass!!!!
I just asked Tech the same question, but you may want to wait until he chimes in just in case the price has change. Also, I think Nut is right, at least in the KC the depth of the box can be no more that 11", so it would be pretty hard to put a 12" sub in a 11" space...but hey I am not a box builder so who knows, maybe it will work.

m3 12s are too deep for a king cab and crew cab. The m3 10s would be a much better choice. As i tel evryone., If you can not afford what all you want all at one time. Buy one piece at a time of what you want. It saves you in the long run And plan and plan

i've been waiting for you to post. ok so 2 10" m3s. can i get those upfiring? and what mids do you recommend? do i need highs? and what is the least expensive video h/u? w/ nav and w/o nav?? thanks a lot!!
I would upfire 2 10" Memphis subs Sealed or do 1 10" Ported. Run this off a Memphis PR amp or Sundown Audio. Pioneer AVIC-D3 is a great all around head unit for the price. I also recommend some 6.5" components up front. 6.5" in the front doors and tweets in the A-pillars or dash location. Tech can hook you up with everything you need. Let him package something together for you and you can't go wrong.
