All else being equal a down firing sub under the seat is going to be better, and you have more options for woofer size and box volume besides.
Once I installed my Bedrug, Swingcase, and MX4 cover I stopped using the interior for anything but people and the occasional shopping bag or backpack. I have a giant lockable trunk now that also happens to convert to a pickup truck bed

Did you guys with 18's use the Parrot harness or just splice it into the factory harnesses? I'm debating now whether the $80 parrot harness is really worth it, since once this stuff is installed it's HIGHY unlikely to ever come out.
Also AJb, did you wind up doing the FORscan mods? I'm still waiting on my OBD adapter to get here (Amazon sucks by the way), but my truck is here and my amp should be here early next week.

I have found a couple odd things that happen now that I have tested and driven around a bit. The first thing, and really not a huge deal, is to do with the star/stop (no surprise lol). When the trucks starts up I have no bass for 2 or 3 seconds. I know this is due to the remote turn on wire that goes from the Audison to my sub amp. Is there an easy fix for this? The second only happens when I remote start the truck...as I open the door there is 3 or 4 quick "thumps". Just curious if anyone else has the same issues and what I can maybe do to fix them.

I would try getting your amp turn / DSP turn on from one of the other fuses. That might be an easy fix for both problems before having to delve into anything major. I plan to disable start/stop with FORscan when I do the audio signal alteration.

Try fuse 23. It works for our installs. It's located in the passenger footwell area.

Fuse 23 is what I tapped for my Audison and it works fine with auto start/stop. Also keeps the amp on with accessory power, like the stock system (so it only turns off when you open the door, not shut off the truck).

But it only does this after I have remote started the truck...after it has been running a while.
On another note...been playing with the direction that my tweeters are facing since I can rotate them approximately 25 degrees in any direction. Surprised at how a small change in direction makes a huge difference in sound.
AND...I may have ordered a Raptor steering wheel and a harness from a F150 forum memeber...I'll be paddle shifting very, very soon...
