Default 08 Audio Install

Simple system install in my 08 f150 supercrew

I decided to go with a pro box, i got one without a sub in it so i could put a 10" sub to go into it. I wanted a box that wouldn't stick out and look bad so i went with it. Plus the bedliner spray on it is just great. For my sub i went with Rockford Fosgate and my doors Jl Audio and a Alpine PDX-5 to power it all.

Still waiting on my amp to come in
and tweeters
F150 Probox :

I wanted a system that sounded nice and was clean as soon as I get my amp we can see how it sounds





JL Door speakers :










Im having alot of trouble removing my back speaker grill panel the front speaker grills have slits where u can put your screwdriver and pop out easy but the back ones don't . Today i treid all sorts of stuff to take it off and even removed half of the screws/bolts in the door to see if it help but that didnt work eaither .... the personwho had my truck before me broke the back left panel off so that one just falls off lol
So does anyone know where i can get a replacement speaker grill panel :like this if anyone knows where i could get one that would be great

When I run my speaker cables for my door up behind my radio what's the best way to connect the speaker wires to the radio ? I was thinking t-taps maybe and the owner of my truck before had one set of RCA's already ran my amp has 3 sets of RCA' inputs .. How do I make that work ??

If I remember right the rear door panel needs to be removed to access the speaker... Pretty easy to do. My 07 cc was that way and I think my buddies sc was the same way. That could be why your speaker grilles are not coming off and why the other is broken... They're not supposed to come off. Lol.

the grills have clips on them but u might be right about it though .... idk why they would make the front so easy and back so hard

I Dono either but in the cc they did. But it's pretty simple to remove the door panel. Just remove all the screws holding in on and lift up don't pull out
