    Alright I'm selling my grand marquis before I go off to school. I want a car/truck with lots of stereo potential and good gas mileage... and not hideous lol. Right now I'm considering extended cab chevy colorados/isuzu i280's.

    For example, I looked real quick on autotrader and there's an i280 near me with the following... 2006 2WD extended cab with 7,473 miles, a 2.8L I4 with 175 hp, 5 speed manual transmission, and gets 20 mpg city and 27mpg highway... for $10,795 They have 6.75" speakers up front and 6.5" speakers in back (sometimes they have tweeters up front also).

    Interior pic of a manual i280 extended cab...

    Okay I was just told trucks suck for boom unless there's a blowthrough or a wall. They said my grand marquis would be louder. What's your take?

    Okay good. I really don't want to wall it and block the rear window or do a blowthrough and cut the truck. If I walled it I'd make plexi windows so I could see through the box out the back window, and that would be a ****load of work lol.

    What kind of truck was the first one pedro? What kind of subs were they running?

    What did the setup in the black ranger look like?

    um the first truck not too sure on the set up.he took off before i could get another pic.

    the second one has 2 L7 10s running 2 dei 1100 mono amps.1000 watts each sub.

    it seems i dont have a pic of the box.it was the width of the truck and around 18 or inches high.maybe 14 deep.
