After learning of the flipdown off the rear seatback on my supercrew, I thought it would be a great place to mount my amp. Turned out nice, just need to trim it out a little. The Rockford Fosgate Boxed 10" sub fits perfect under the seat. I am happy with the better sound system vs. my 2010, could still use a little more power from the truck speakers, but overall, it sounds great!!

Looks good!

How does that speaker handle the deeper lows?

It is crisp and clean bass. Pounds so hard when I crank it up it makes my rear view mirror worthless...

I wish I could post the sound experience...

I did this install a little different from my 2010. I ran off the rear speaker wires in my old truck, this truck I mounted everything and ran the wires, then I had a sound shop hook it to the back of the radio with RCA's and guage it. Huge difference in bass punch and sound.

I run a single 8 inch Kicker L7 and it too makes my mirror useless. I have 2 zip ties on it but it still rattles. Annoying!

That's what I wanted to hear!

I'm a car stereo geek from way back. I used to get teased that my 84 Datsun Sentra ran on bass! I had 4 6x9s in the rear deck, and three 12s in the trunk that I pulled out of old Curtis Mathis TV and Stereo cabinets from the 70s that never sold. My HU was a Clarion tape deck with auto reverse (big deal then) and the whole thing was powered by a Radio Shack Booster, that I believe was pushing 50 watts, which was more then enough to move the speakers. That little thing would get hot as hell. Burned myself on it a couple times! Total wattage on that system might have been 100w, but you could here my Def Leopard a full half mile away!

My Chevy I had a much better budget for, and car stereo technology had come along way by 1993. I ran a Kenwood deck and amps to all Blaupunkt Pro Component speakers, with a custom 10" tube that would hit so hard I had to crack the windows before turning it all the way up, because there wasn't enough airflow. You could feel the air move in and out of your ears.

In my Dodge, the stock Infinity system was pretty good, and the layout prevented putting any real woofers in the truck, so it actually started stock.

Ford's stock stereos are garbage. So everything is getting changed out. I had been looking at this box on Amazon, and was wondering if it really could hit hard with that tiny box.

Shaking the rear view mirror so that it's useless answers that question!

Thanks!

This is what I would like to do. I have a sub and amp from my old truck and I wondered if I could hook it up to the stock 4.3 head unit.

My shop just tapped hi lo converters off the rear speakers. Stock HU just added an amp and woofer.

Good to hear on that kicker L7 set up. Im about to do 4 kicker L7 8's under the seat with 3 kicker zx1000.1 amps should get down pretty good I hope.

Wow... Truck will rattle apart lol. My one 8 inch creates so much damn rattling.

sullyman

That's the kind of system I used to want. 1 10 that shakes the mirror is good enough now.

Four subs should shake your teeth around in your head!
