Thank you etazeta for the information, and the inspiration for this project.
Here are a few pics of my install in a 2011 F150 XLT 4x4 Screw.
I ran one power wire to the back, and used a power distribution block.
I mounted the fuses, and the block to a piece of mdf in the center.
I used a RJ14 phone jack to splice the remote level for each sub to one controller.
I mounted the remote level to the right of the usb port in the dash.
Everything sounds great, and the subs fill the cab with plenty of bass. Thanks again.

No. Everything works, and functions like it's suppose to. The rear seat bottoms fold up, and lock in place. The subs don't impede the function of the rear seats. It's like the subs don't exist. The key to this is to cut out the rear bulk head carpet so the subs can remain out of the way. I used t-nuts, and bolts to mount the mdf to the rear bulk head carpet. So I didn't have to drill into the bulk head itself.
You can find these @ any hardware store. I bought mine @ Ace Hardware. I think Lowes, and Home Depot carry them as well. Here is a link to show a picture of what they look like.

I posted this a while back but it got lost in the shuffle, or no one found it helpful. Give it a shot.

Found it:
Here is the diagram but if you dont have the factory sony amp the remote turn on wire is not there I looked and looked couldnt find anything that would turn the amp on when the stereo turns on so I just use a switched source from the fusebox. If you find a better source please post it.

Man, this setup intrigues me......just like you, I love a little bump... but I'm not willing to swap out my head unit and love the space in the back with the seats folded up. If you were doing this with a 2010, where the amp is mounted to the sub, would you have any room to mount it in the back?
A step by step of this would be so awesome. I have no working knowledge of car audio, but this almost looks simple enough that I think I might be able to pull it off.

It really is pretty Simple. These little babies make it a much easier, as well.

The Sub comes with a free Amp kit.

By the way this can be hooked up using only Speaker wires tapped in.

..sigh... This looks easier than installing a head unit. There's no way I can afford to not try. I'll start with one and see how she sounds.
Jeff: Promise me you guys wont bump these back down to 150 in like, the next 6 months though.
