There was a thread awhile back about a gent that stuffed his speaker with something to give a little deeper bass, he said he got it at Wal-Mart, but I cannot remember what it was? He said it really improved the sound!

My guess is the amp is somewhere else in the cab.
Did a search and found one of the subs on eBay. It's pretty clear from the picture (and the price requested -- $150) that the amp is onboard the unit. That is, the unit is more than just a simple speaker--it is a powered subwoofer. Which means that, to my knowledge, there shouldn't be any problem disconnecting the sub--or running the system without the sub.

Thanks for all the great help. I think my question is answered!!

Is 150 the general asking price for that? Because it might just be cheaper for me to buy one of those and throw it behind the seat than to buy new systems...

Here is the thread about adding polyfill to give it that low end thump.

Also from this thread I gathered the '09/'10 had the amp on the box and the '11 does not.

Just as an FYI, on the 2011 the amp is NOT included on the sub box at all with this system! Sub only, the amp is somewhere else. And yes the cheap poly fill does make a difference!

Sounds like my tools have something to do today.

From what I understand the amp is under the console on the 2011 F-150. Just for the record, the sound system does work fine without the subwoofer, I know this because mine actually came through without it....my system sounds fine....just no bass. I am in the process of working with the dealer to have it installed.
