Anyone upgrade the stock sound system?

[AdkRaptor150]

Well I ended up getting a raptor completely stock no options so I'm wondering what you guys have done sound wise to the truck. Just looking for ideas. I setup a whole system in my 02 f150 and im planning on doing the same to the new truck. Any recommendations for decks -amps subs or any pointers are much appreciated.

Chrisandalex1 put an insane system in his truck from High Desert Mobile Electronics.

Jl stealth sub under the back seat rocks pretty good.

Do you have a scab or a screw ADK?

 

[AdkRaptor150]

Scab... never been a fan of a four door truck probably comfortable as hell but I dont really care bout the passengers that much lol. Its only the gf and dog that are usually in it anyways.

Sidram- love the JL subs ...what amp did u use? Stock deck or aftermarket?

 

[Maxx2893]

The problem is you will probably have to make a custom box because very few manufacturers have any out for our scabs yet.

No problem- is there a deck kit out for the scab to fill in all that space above the climate controls?

Yep.

Stock Deck (don't laugh)
Alpine Imprint
Rockford Fosgate PBR300x4 amp under the radio (under the console area, where the stock Sony unit would be). It's a real small amp.
JL Audio TR570-cxi speakers (4)
OEM Ford Sony A-pillars, tapped into front speaker wires. (raises sound stage a LOT).

Added a little sound deadening in the doors and upper areas of the footwell below the carpet. I probably should add some across the rear cab wall also. (secondskinaudio)

No sub. Just didn't want to mess with it or take up the space. I know it would sound a lot better with one, but for general listening, I don't really feel like I'm missing out on too much.

I have a 5 channel jl amp with the jl sub in my 08 f350 and 08 f150. I just bought what the audio sop said I needed. The new jl amps are much smaller.

Wait can you go in to more detail about where your amp is. I want to add a single 10" sub where my factory one is in my scab but i don't want to lose all my space under the rear seat.
