Post your supercrew sound system.
 

I am looking at ideas for my system. I have a few things laying around but I want to see what everyone else has done/ or is doing. Post pics, specs, etc.

what are you looking at gettin? deep bass that travels an hits hard or something thatll give you just a little extra thump. also you looking on puttin in a new radio or do u already have one?

Right now I have a Pioneer TS-w304, xplod amp (760 max, 300+/- rms, and kenwood deck from my ranger. Just looking for ideas with moderate setups. Not competition but still has some good bang. I might throw something together with what I have now but idk yet. Just want to see how everyone is mounting their subs. I have a few ideas but I wanna know what works best before I make a box. I have built a few systems for my old ext. cab ranger but the 150 is going to be harder. How do you think the stuff I have would sound? I have used the sub and deck but not the amp, would the amp be WAY overkill? Sorry for the long post....

I agree the f150 will be way harder. see i just bought a '03 f150 screw FX4. an from my previous vehicle I have 2 12" aluminized kicker subs in a kicker box sitting on the seat behind me (for now), hooked up to a 400 watt kicker amp. I get compliments from my friends an complaints from my neighbors all the time lol. they sound very good with nice deep bass an they have the roof vibrating when I turn it up, which I need to figure something out about lol. I want to look into getting a box that fits under my back seat for the 12's which I know I would probably have to custom make the box an also raise my back seat. but I think what you have would be good for what your looking for. no the amp is not way overkill? remember you can always turn down the amp to push less lower so it wont blow your sub. It's alright you get use to having long posts on here after awhile.

Wait turn it down??? lol I am thinking about making a center console box, but if I did that I would do 2 12's.

yea, that is if your worried about blowing your sub. if not then leave it where it's at. I would like to do that to but I dont have the time and I'm always on the go with my truck

Yea I am super busy 7 days a week with school, work, and working on our race cars. Luckily the season is almost over. If I end up building the console box I can send you the measurements...

Here is a pic of my amps screwed down behind driver seat... I have Polk db571's in all four doors and Kenwood excelon tweeters up front with a jl audio 10" w1v2 under rear passenger seat..

yea I hear that, and if you get around to it thanks dude I'd appreciate.

Here are some pics of the system I just installed in my 04 scab.

is that a 10" an hows it sound?

im looking too. Just a little extra THUMP.

No it's actually a 12. Sounds pretty good. The box is to small right now, working on the new one for more air space.

yea those 12's need alot of air space. that's why I got my 2 just sittin on the back seat till I figured something out to do with them.

How does the jl sub sound? I was looking into getting one. Also any pics of the box and sub!

I am finishing up the installation right now. I'll post pics in a moment..

Here a a couple of the back seat... The box is 27" long and from supercrewsounds.com

Kenwood Excelon tweeters up front.. Obviously, not hooked up just yet. One more hour and everything should be a wrap!!!!

....

Done

^VERY NICE! I am jealous of all of that! haha, too bad the 97-03 screws have those stands under the seat. Once I get tires and after the racing season is over I will start my build. Just been thrashing to go to Ok. this weekend...

Kicker S12L7 with a custom built ported box and a Kicker zx750.1 amp.... Need I say more? LOL. Absolutely love it!

I would suggest using some MDF and making a mounting bracket for your midrang/bass that you've got in your door.

there are ways to still put boxes in there that are made to go around the seat stand. like this one I plan on putting in my truck for 2 12's. even though I'll have to raise my seat up about 2" to fit this big box.

http://caraudiofactory.com/20012003-....html?osCsid=7

Hmmmm, that seems pretty nice... for $100 I might just buy that. It would save me alot of time

I feel the same way, because boxes like that for 12's are hard to come by. they only have one for 10's an 8's. I'm gonna order it as soon as I get my check next week and figure out how I'm gonna raise my back seat.

i got kenwood double din indash and kenwood headrest tv's but the subs are JL audio and amps are JL audi...i don't think you could go wrong with JL's but they cost a little more than other brands but well worth it...i got an 07 supercrew harley f150...3 JL W3 8" subs...sound beautiful and i would go bigger but there was no room and i didn't want to drill holes and mod my seats...check out my garage and you'll c the subs

Damn near identical to what I'm planning on my '11 SCrew. I'm just going a little (ok, maybe a lot) bigger :whistling2: :thumbup:

15" Solobaric

Installed polk mm 6501 components up front.. replaced the Sony tweeters , had to dremel out the pillars little bit. Just ordered a audiocontrol lc6i plan on tapping into the harness from the Sony amp. Little at a time haha

Quick question. How do you rub tweeters on a amp?

If the question is directed at me, I'm not sure what you mean by rub

you connect the positive & negative wires from the amp to the crossover and then crossover to your tweeters.

What's a crossover?

It's a device that splits the low and high frequencies.. the highs will go to your tweeters and the lows to your subs or mids

Yes..this please. That is painfull to look at.

Alright got a question. On my amp I have my remote wire connected but what wire do I connect it to on my radio wiring harness?

There should be a blue or blue with a white stripe wire labeled "Remote" or "Antenna", both of which will be your amp remote turn-on.

Its just a SCAB but here is mine.

Also make sure you use the amp turn on not the power antennae or your amps will shut off when not using the radio.:thumbsup:

Well when I had It hooked up to the antenna it would never shut it off. It would continuously have power and run my battery down.

That is weird, I have never heard that happen. I have wired one to antenna and another one to a designated remote wire and it hasn't ever drained my battery. Are you sure all of your charging system is working? (battery, alternator, etc.)

Battery and alternator is fine soon as as jumped it off and let it run it wouldst have problem starting. I've tried on two different radios and same scenario

are you sure your remote wire coming from the amp is not hooked up to your constant power (usually yellow) wire in the back of the radio instead of the remote wire which is usually blue or blue with a white stripe. thats the only thing I can't think of that would have your amp staying constantly on

on the new trucks that have the little message center near the top of the radio area, what happens when you put an aftermarket radio in?

Yep it was on the blue one and now my radio wi.t get power to turn on I checked all the fuses that go to the radio and two were blown and then I lost a 5 amp fuse and am searching for another one maybe once I put it in it'll work.

Well i am almost ready to throw my box in and let the fun begin....my buddy Ramses ( hot spot in whitter ) built me a sick center console box. I am going to have beauty panels made which will match the seats and will be installing the factory armrest on top of my box. So far i have ks kickers in the front and rear doors with a M/A audio 1800 class D amp for my L7s and a kicker Sx 400 for the highs. I still have 2 7" head rest to hook up with my 15" flip down running off a Clarion double din. I have a switcher, second half din dvd player, ir set up hooked up to a yellow top Optima battery. I cant wait to hear it tomorrow :D

Stock HU
RF Prime R1682 in the front door (off stock HU)
2 Alpine SBR-S83V (8in type-r) Fits perfect under rear seats

Installed last night after work, I will take pictures and post when I get back from Vegas on Wednesday

I've got 2 12" Memphis subs under my back seat with a Memphis 600 watt amp n Memphis highs all the way around. I wanna do indash nav n tv soon.

How you like the memphis subs? Really having a hard time choosing between those and the JL 10w3's

For the price I don't think u can really beat them. The Memphis highs sound really good.

I know it's not an even comparison, but my buddy has two Memphis mclass subs. The jls sound so much cleaner. They keep up with the Memphis in volume too. We have different amps/ boxes so can't really give a technical opinion, but I would go Jl unless the Memphis are much cheaper.

4x4 Screw Ecoboost
Image dynamic's Ctx650cs
2 IDv3 10" subs in down fire box
1000.1 JL audio amp
Alpine 2 channel amp that puts out 2x110w rms
Have an amp under each front seat.

Had this same set up in a silverado except with JL audio 12w3v3 subs in a custom sealed box(seat raised 3") and overall I'm extremely pleased with the ID subs. Not near as much output of course but very accurate and good sound sub.

Though if only my truck would fit the LMS Ultra 5400 that I have in my house... ahhh.

Almost done.. but everything works, thank god lol

that's badass

How are some of you removing the rear seat to hide the amps back there? I couldn't figure it out, I want mine hidden.

on the supercrew the seats fold down. but all you should have to do is unbolt the front an rear seat brackets at least that's how it is on the supercrew.

There's plenty of room back there width wise but you don't have much for height, few inches at best if you don't want to block from your seats folding up.

Attachment 79545

There is a release leaver that fold the rear seat down. There is also a write up on how to mod the rear seat for quick access.

https://www.f150forum.com/f38/rear-s...ase-mod-91887/

Awesome! thank you!

Can that be done in the Scab as well? I could have sworn mine was a one piece back.

I was doing some searching on google and it seems that the rear seat removes the same way a 2004-2008 the supercrew rear seat removal process. Which is an SOB to do...take it from somebody that has done it.

https://www.f150forum.com/f7/2002-20...nstall-126600/

To everyone who has mounted amps behind thier seat, is there enough room for the amp to cool properly? There is a cooling fan on the front of my amp that I definately don't want to cover up.

I have mine in the gargo bin thing behind my seat that comes with our supercrews and it seems to work, doesn't cut out or anything

After the system in my ranger I want my amps nice and open. The amp in my ranger was pretty closed off and it had nothing but problems with overheating. With a good amp that is fan cooled it would probably be fine.

I was able to squeeze mine behind my back seat but it has an internal cooling fan. I am assuming that the seat would block any air flow unless the amp pulled the air in from the sides.

Keep in mind, after mounting wood to screw the amp into there is very limited room behind the rear seat.

^That's what I was thinking. I'll just have to do some measuring some day to see if there is enough airflow.

Both my amps are behind the seats. No problems and I hammer them regularly.

I have a 2011 supercrew running 2 JL 12w3's with the cleansweep and signal summoning processor with a 1000/v2 at 2ohms.

^WOW! How is the rear leg room now?

LOL, I don't sit back there!

Here's the difference between stock 60 and modified 40.

http://dingo.care2.com/pictures/c2c/...20Done%204.jpg

Lol! My friends wouldn't be fans haha. They are all 6' and even behind me (5'9") there isn't a whole lot of room. Bet that sounds amazing though! Any pics of the HU and door speakers?

I'm 5'9" too! The Kicker 6x8's came with the truck. Here is the head unit during the build. It does sound amazing tho'!!!

http://dingo.care2.com/pictures/c2c/...0Build%204.jpg

Short guys unite! lol Is this a competition setup? Or just cause?

Just cause I'm a basshead 4 life! I put 4 12's in my son's Mazda Protege.

You are insane! (In a good way) lol I thought 2 12's in my old scab ranger was enough!

Said system

How much did that raise your back seat? all you did was put it under the bracket that bolts to the ground? Could you upload some more pics of your seat lift? cuz I need to raise mine 2" to fit my cvx's

also is it just the rear brackets you raised with the tubing or both the front and back ones?

Definately not a lot of room in the Rangers. Had to remove the jack, and the jumpseats for my 12's.

My goal is to have beauty panels made that may match the seats but will be installing the factory armrest in addition to my box. Up to now i have ks kickers from the front and rear doors which has a M/A audio 1800 course D amp for my L7s plus a kicker Sx 400 for your highs,double din...

That looks nice and custom. Any reason you didn't down fire the subs?

just being different everyone fires them down.

Here's my new Pioneer AVH-P 4300DVD headunit:

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...1/4412723a.jpg

I'm still rocking my Lariat speakers. I have a JL Stealthbox with a 10" w2 under the rear seat with a rockford fosgate 500 amp. The new headunit sure woke up the sound, it's simply amazing! Also: You gotta love steering wheel controls! :)

nice, looks like it belongs. I just ordered mine today an hopefully will get it by Friday to put it in this weekend!

Finally finished my sub install
 

After 2.5 years, decided to put my kicker amp into the truck. Was very easy to do. Hardest part was finding the right fuse to tap into for the remote turn on. After trying several different ones I wound up going with slot 25 which is the interior demand lamps. These supposedly go on when the FOB key is activated. So I double checked with a Ford mechanic and they said it was switchable. I tried Slot 38 which is the subwoofer location but I didn't have a sub so of course it didn't work. Anyone else have any other suggested fuse locations? BTW, I used the add-a-fuse to tap into the box and it works well.

Update: Just switched location to Slot 32 which is the Trailer Brake controller (don't have this option). I feel more comfortable with this. Really don't want a dead stick tomorrow morning.

Im starting to piece together my system!
PAC wiring harness
Atrend sealed 12 box
RockfordFosgate R500-1 AMP
RockfordFosgate 12 Shallow 4 ohm DVC wired to 2 ohms
I have ran all of my wires..hopfully sunday I can connect the PAC, AMP and get some sound These pictures are pretty crappy (itouch)

Here's mine

Factory basic HU w/Sync
2 X PAC line converters (RCA splitters on rears -> line level control -> sub amp)
Fosgate Punch P400 (doors/tweets)
Fosgate Punch P1000 (subs)
Fosgate Power 2-way 6x8's (fronts)
Massive Tweets
Massive CK 6.5" (midbase - rears)
3 Pioneer TS-SW3001S4 12's under the seat
Alpine PXE-H660 DP on order
doors/rear cab wall matted

Here are some random pictures of my install on a 2012 screw without sony/nav. Used the PAC harness without issue/ 500-1 Rockford amp, 12 shallow mount sub, Atrend box. The install was very easy I ran the Power and remote wires on the passenger side and RCA cable on the driver side. I used 1/4 inch plywood to mount the amp(anything more and the seat would not have locked into the up position), even then I had to file away some metal on the back of my seat. I have about 400.00 dollars into the system and it sounds awesome!

crackin5 or anyone. could you measure how far out your amp +wood sticks out off the back wall please? and does it touch the back seat or do you still have a little bit of space between the seat and the amp?

You've got a little over 31/2 inchs if you want your seat to lock up, more if your amp is shorter. Do you see those metal prong looking things, that stick out, I believe there are 4 in my picture? thats what I had to file down. They left a mark on my Amp where they were hitting it. A shorter amp could fit between those giving you more room.
