P.S. Be sure you turn the bass way down before you crank the sound, you'll know why as soon as you turn it on unless they adjust it during install, I installed mine my self.

Do the sub and 4-channel amp have adjustable crossovers? Also, does it increase the volume of bluetooth phone calls?

Mine is completely passive, no adjustments other than what you have already in the stock head unit eq, almost certain the full kit is the same.

I guess I should follow this up, I had the Powerstage installed. Overall, I'm very happy with it. There's no hiding the fact that the factory speakers are cheap paper cones, and Kicker said if I want to replace them to go with their KS (I think) speaker kit. However, the 4 channel dramatically improved the sq out of my door speakers and the sub sounds great. I'm happy

Can someone please shed some more light on this for me? Do you have a link to this "kit"?

I have a 2012 F150 with the basic stock stereo (not sony system). I have the tweets in the door posts. I do have the Bluetooth/sync but that's it. It sounds like crap.

I'm looking to upgrade the speakers, add an amp, add a sub. A plug and play kit for all this stuff would be fantastic. I never thought anything like that would exists. I'm out of the loop, lol.

For sure I want to keep the stock head unit and keep everything looking as factory as possible.

I'm in Canada so everything is always more money with exchange and shipping. However, I could install it myself to offset the cost.

thanks.

For the SuperCrew, you used to have three options from Kicker (The same is available for the SuperCab, but I do not have the part numbers sorry!):

VSS SoundStage (Discontinued) -- Came with 200w powered sub, 400w amp and 4x Kicker 100w speakers - Plug and Play (Not available from Kicker, Ford part# DL3Z-18808-A)

VSS PowerStage -- Comes with 200w powered sub, 400w amp - Plug and Play (Kicker part# SF150C11, Not available from Ford)

VSS SubStage -- Comes with only the 200w powered sub - Plug and Play (Kicker part# SF150C09, Ford part# 9L3Z-18808-N)


NOTE: Some dealers might still have the VSS SoundStage in stock, call around and see, worst thing they can say is no.


UPDATE: found it on Amazon.ca
Amazon Amazon

I called my local dealer here in canada. Part BL3Z-18808-G is not available anymore.

I'm looking for the 4 speaker, amp, sub combo.

I am showing it available at Levittown Ford. Give them a call and see how much shipping to Canada might be.
