THANX brah. i like luxury cars, thus, my desire to have a luxury truck, the lariat. its a luxury vehicle that you can haul stuff with...
been doing some research on my own still. whats your opinion on how a guy in another forum said he mounted his amp under his seat. he made " mounting feet" for his amp out of wood to sit on:
make some mounting "feet"...
i use either small squares of 3/4" thick wood ( hardwood or MDF ) or 1" dowel ( walmart for about $1....) with a hole drilled in the center ( spray paint it black to protect the wood... $1 a can at walmart...)
it allows the amp to have air pass under as well as over the amplifier...much better for cooling when it is in a concealed and cramped mounting location.

GATORB8, Help Please!
Gator you seem to have quite a bit of knowledge on the audio subject when dealing with F-150's. I need help. I have an '06 Super Crew Lariat with the sub plug under the driver-side rear seat. I have the 6 disc/mp3 with Sirius satellite head unit so I naturally thought that I had the correct Audiophile unit. I did not have the sub, so I bought one and when I went to hook it up I have nothing. I know now that I should have looked at the back of the head unit to make sure it had the three plug in spots but I didn't, too late now. Here are my questions...
1. Where the hell is the third plug hiding under the dash? Not found yet, and like I said before, the plug is under the seat for the sub.
2. To put an Audiophile head unit in now (want to stay with oem), what years am I looking for for compatibility? By that I mean plug n play. I'd prefer not to have to take it to the dealer for programming. Also, the antenna plug? I have to look for sure which plug my truck has.
Thanks for your help.

I have a 2007 ford f150 XLT four door. All of a sudden my drivers rear speaker died. So I bought new speakers and it still does not work. Can someone answer why? What can I check? They want to charge me an arm and a leg to check it. Any help will be helpful.

There are two possibilities, a short in the speaker wire or a bad output on the head unit. You could pull the head unit and connect your extra speaker to the drivers rear output to confirm if its the head unit.
