Thumbs up Hey Everyone

Hey all, My name is Richard and i recently recieved a 1999 F 150 XLT 5.4L 4X4 from my dad who recently picked up a brand new f150. My last car was a toyota matrix which I absolutely filled with aftermarket speakers. In the F150 I plan to add 2, 12 inch subs and replace the head unit and door speakers. Does anyone have any ideas about where to place the new subs? I was thinking of totally rremoving the one seat in the rear that flips down and placing the sub enclosure there. Does anyone have any other ideas? Also I want to do some work on the stance of the truck so I would like to therefore raise, or lower it, and add some bigger wheels to fill out the wells. This is purely cosmetic as I wont be doing much offroading but I might be doing some towing in the summer. Does anyone have any ideas on what wheel and suspension combo looks good? I was thinking of going with air-ride for lots of flexibility but have never heard of anybody doing it.
Thanks for taking a look!
Richard Clarke

Hey Richard, welcome. We sell the MTX Thundeforms. http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products...XP16_specs.pdf I know they are only 8" but they look slick, colour matched and fill up that small cab with no problem. $375 or $497 w 200w amp. As for tires and wheels, 2 different looks but you got 4x4 so why lower it? Stay 33" or less if you are towing. We sell these Procomp Rims and Mickey Thompson Mud Terrains $2000 for a set of 4 and with Bushwacker fender flares you wheels
are filled with no rubbing. Hope that helps

I really like the way that looks, is that $2000 including the flares, and is that CDN dollars? Thanks

No that is plus flares, $529 and it is Canadian. When we sell it as a package on new trucks we sell it for cost and we keep the new original tires
