2015 F-150 Kicker Soundstage Sub Upgrade!
 

I have had numerous questions about when the 2015 upgrade will become available for the F-150's. The answer to that is early next year. So I decided to check the fitment for a 2009-2014 Kicker Substage Upgrade in a 2015 Supercrew XLT. The box fits in there quite nicely and still retains the storage tray. I know the wiring will work because its just a power wire and a harness that T-taps into an existing speaker wire for the audio signal. The only modifications that i can see that will be needed is the rear bracket on the sub box. There will not be existing holes beneath the carpet for the brackets. What I would do is use several strips of the velcro tape on the sub box and allow it to stick directly to the carpet.

Just throwing this option out there for anyone wanting to upgrade their 2015 sound with a bad ass sub/amp combo. $275 shipped anywhere in the continental US.

any options you've tried that would fit behind the seat of the 2015??

Nope.

Yep, just found one tonight. The JL Audio ACP108LG-W3v3 fits in a 2015 F-150 SuperCrew with no modifications, and includes the box, sub, and amp in one.

nice. thanks southpaw

No mention on the sound of it though.

Not on this site, but Amazon has quite a few reviews all very good.

Oh ok. Well if the loss of two feet of space under your seat is not something you're willing to give up, I would get that JL sub then.

Yeah, I ordered that JL through Crutchfield. Be careful to not order the NON-amplified version (same model number minus the "A" at the front), which is far more popular and cheaper.

I plan on doing a full install report with sound quality impressions after I install it. There's effectively zero data on custom 2015 F-150 installs so I want to help those who have been searching around like I have.

that would be great. i dont plan on spending money on something that may sound like crap. :)

Is this the same components as what is in your other thread or just the box,sub and amp? https://www.f150forum.com/f30/boss-m...ed-you-305582/

box, sub, and amp only. door speakers are different sizes from 11-14

This is a great price and very tempting to pull the trigger on and try out on my '15, but I think I'll wait for the package with the door speakers etc to come out for the '15+. Keep us posted and will definitely buy one from you once those come out!

Id be willing to bet the jl beats the Kicker setul, and Ive got the kicker in my 12 screw! The kickers nice, but could be better!

Oh man this is great. Insurance was not being great about the "aftermarket stereo equipment" in my wrecked '14 so I went and removed everything before they totaled it out, thinking I could resell or give to a good buddy with a 13'. Now I know it will fit in my 15! Thanks Beau!

Post pics when you get it mounted up!

Will this improve sound quality in stock speakers for the truck? I want to upgrade but don't want to screw with the fake engine noise and sync by messing with speakers.

Thanks

This is just the sub, and it works independently of everything else. It just needs power and a signal and it was relatively easy to install in my '14. You will probably want to do something with the stock speakers though as this thing has a LOT of power for it's size. In my '14 I ran a 4x50 to some infinity 6x9s and still had to turn the bass down a bit. I would recommend reading the many threads on the sub upgrades. There is a whole package too that includes new speakers and a DSP unit that is available. It is plug and play from what I understand because it's a ford product and wouldn't cause any problems.

Thanks for the info. I have a 15 so I'll have to wait for the package that includes speakers to come out as I believe they are different sizes than previous generations.

2014 vs 2015 kicker Soundstage upgrade
 

There is a dealership in Mississippi selling the 2014 f150 kicker Soundstage complete package for 399. Does anyone know if it will work in a 2015. I see the sub will work but wondering about all the other electronics.

Thanks

Unfortunately, no. The 2015 has a completely different subwoofer inclosure and it mounts differently. The amp also mounts in a different place.. I started installing the 2015 version tonight and should have it up and running on Sunday. I will report back then with a video and opinions.

Noo but heres what the substage for the 15s looks like. To give you a idea.... These mount behind the rear seat.:thumbsup:

This is the same for screw or scab, but scab pic is shown on the bottom.

Here is my install and impressions of the Powerstage system for my 2015 F-150.

Google the OP's user name ;)

Need More Base
 

That's a great price. That is make that much of a difference?

It s a improvement, but for less money. You can do Alot Better, by getting a Shallow Mount 10" sub and box and amp, putting them behind your rear seat.

Then replacing your door speakers, and tweeters. Then adding a mini amp with the parrat harness! This is a Huge improvement over stock, and the Overpriced kicker packages!;):thumbup:

will that shallow mount fit behind the truck seat with out cutting anything?

Youll just need to cut the padding on the rear wall.

Would you mind giving the specs on what you installed? At least what was needed for the amp/sub setup.

Did you install yourself or hire the work out?

Thanks

Anybody's sub randomly pop? Like I signal was briefly applied?
