Kicker “Substage” & “Powerstage” for Sony equipped 2009-2014 F150’s
I have a 2014 super crew fx4 with the sony mft. The dealer with the great pricing no longer has the sub only upgrade. Do you know if there is a market at all for the door speakers and amp that I wouldn't use if I bought the whole kit? Just wondering if the leftover parts are sellable? Doesn't sound like much would be gained changing out the door speakers on the sony system. Main issue is that stock sub.

I received my power stage kit yesterday. Thanks Beau!
I have the Sony with No nav and plan to start with the sub then possibly the door speaks based on the sound. Only question I have is, did anyone ever find a good way to add bass/volume control to the sub separate of the door speakers or have we found that adjusting the head unit settings is getting most of you where you want to be? I definitely do not want to lose any mids as there is nothing better than a solid guitar jam coming through your mids.
Thanks for any info.

I need to get in it and see if it is bad enough I want to upgrade the stereo before this sweet deal is gone.
So I would recommend the full kit if you still have the Sony speakers in your doors
You just won't use the extra DSP amp that comes in the kit. Which You could always re sell that too!

Phew, did a lot of reading on here for this upgrade and drove my truck this morning; sony stereo not so Ford tough. I see some guys with issue they can't tone down the the kicker sub and it doesn't blend with the rest of the speakers? They have their bass adjusted to -2, my setting on the screen is just a left to right bars.
You guys are helping me out a ton with feedback, appreciate it, after 30+ years of screwing around with building cars I just cringe when I buy stuff these days and it does't work out. I am sitting on the fence buying this set up, wish I could hear one local to end doubts. I definitely don't want boom bass in my ears when the radio isn't even up loud and other side of coin driving down the road and can't hear other speakers lol when volume up because bass is slamming.
