I installed the Kicker kit (everything but the speakers) in my 13 SCrew and I agree that it’s a great addition for those want a little extra bump but have passed their “I need the boom boom” phase. I went with Pioneer door speakers and center speakers as I’ve always been impressed with Pioneer speakers.

You guys have completely sold me on the Kicker VSS full system. I wish I have known about it 4 years ago when I got my truck. I like the fact that it's a "stock" upgrade system. I didn't want hacked up aftermarket stuff.
Now to find the best deal and pony up some cash.
My girlfriend has a RAM 1500 with the factory Alpine system. So I'm hoping this kicker upgrade will sound similar to it because she's always bugging me how crappy my current truck sounds.

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

Wow! These either got really expensive or the deal a couple of years ago was great. I put the Soundstage in mine back when there was a dealer/vendor around that was selling them for about $380 (can't remember who it was though). Easily the best upgrade for the money that I've done. I'm still impressed with how much it improved the sound. It's not door rattling sound and not going to impress the car next to you at a stop light, but still light years better than the basic paper speakers and was pretty easy to install.

I guess my other option is to find the Kicker PF150C11 package and get that. I think it's basically the same minus the 4 door speakers. I'd have to buy those separately.

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 https://www.amazon.ca/Genuine-Ford-D.../dp/B010MQFVU0
