funny story about the mat, the '98 expedition i just bought had 2 mats in the rear. one was a husky liner that was molded to fit. the second was the universal one. so i took the extra the threw it in the excursion. it doesnt cover everything..but it helps for messy stuff like the old steering box off my '91 f-250 i had to bring back for a core charge. i think you can get the universal ones at like sams club along with the catchall mats which i want for the rest of the Ex.

heres a vid of the sub...my cam kinda sucks...but its loud!!!

its would be to expensive for you, as it would start out at 80 just for the studs, then my time on top of that, probably would charge you a total of 160$
