Yep, it's an 8" sub. I haven't heard the previous generation but looking at the pictures of it, the 15' is definitely a smaller inclosure. The nice thing, and something to consider, is that the 15' set up is completely invisible and doesn't use up any space. I may be mistaken but the 14' looks like it uses up some cargo space when the seat is folded up. Keep in mind that the VSS isnt going to rattle the mirrors off but like I said before, I personally think that the sound improvement, ease of install, and keeping all my cargo space was way worth it. It sounds great for what it is.

HOLY hell Earsmccoy. Major thank you! Just finished installing the VSS power stage. Bought it from Stage 3. Arrived 2 days later. Anyhow, your video was extremely helpful. The included instructions were adequate, but your video definitely clarified things further. And if anyone is on the fence as to whether or not this system is worth the money...I say PULL THE TRIGGER! Sounds amazing! It's a night and day difference from the stock system. Definitely worth the money. Thanks for the great video dude.

One other thing I wonder, maybe someone will be able to answer this,
I had a 2015 Mustang GT premium with the 402a package (top tier shaker with sub in trunk.) does the VSS put the F150 system on par with that or does it surpass that system? Cause the shaker 1200 wasn't much to brag about, but was also a massive step up from the GT's base 6 speaker setup as leaps above the 2015 F150 setup.
Anyone know, lol?

So that's the car I traded in when I bought my 2015 F-150. I had a 2015 Mustang GT premium with the performance package, and the high end option group. It had the Shaker 12 speaker system with the sub in the trunk. I feel like that shaker system had SLIGHTLY clearer sound quality. More powerful mid and high tones. However, the VSS feels like it has more bass. And and the 200 watt amp driving the door speakers definitely made a world of difference. Enough so that I won't be changing out the door speakers. The system sounds pretty damn cool in my opinion. I do feel like it was worth the $1,249 price tag for the system. It's that good.

So, completely subjective question, lol, but if on a scale of 1 to 10 you'd say the sound is improved over the Mustangs Shaker 1200 system, where would you put it? 10 being 100 percent better than the Mustans Shaker 1200 or 1 being its the same or worse as the shaker 1200.
Reason I ask is I was never impressed with the Shaker 1200. It lacked decent clarity, and really was a let down. I don't wanna drop 1250 on a VSS and get similar results.
