I have a 2022 Screw xlt with the BO package but I don't believe it is the "unleased". The small 6x9 looking sub behind the rear seat is a joke. I'm wanting to upgrade but want to keep the ability's to fold up rear seats and not have a big box under the rear seat as well. I was looking into 1 if not 2 of these to mount on the back wall of the cab and remover the existing sub.

Kicker 46HS10 Hideaway Series 10" compact powered subwoofer with 180-watt amp at Crutchfield

Any information you can give me on this idea? I have a lot of questions, like:
-Will two fit?
-Would there be a big difference between just one and two, and would it be worth it cost wise?
-One power cable run to a distribution block splitting power for each amp, what gauge is needed?
-Is installing this with factory system, minus sub straight forward and easily doable?
-Is there a better "all in one" hideaway unit that would give me more bang for my buck and also fit?
-Any other options worth looking at?

I had the same requirement to increase bass and keep it behind the seat. Although I went for full amplification replacement, I've seen a lot of people leveraging the rear door or subwoofer speaker level signals to drive input to an aftermarket amplifier and an aftermarket subwoofer. There are several behind the seat options to choose from including an OEM "Kicker" upgrade option. I wanted as much as I could get back there without losing under-seat storage or needing to modify the rear seat location so chose a MTIAcoustics box with a JL Audio 13TW5 sub. I just wrote up the full specs of my system and posted it here: B&O Unleashed Upgrade DIY Thread (Sub & Amplification) - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans
