Looking to upgrade the stock system

[AdkRaptor150]

Hey im looking to upgrade the stock system. I listen to everything but rap and hip hop. Mostly rock and country and techno on the way to the gym. I was thinking a custom box one 10' that could really bump and an amp for now. I'd like to eventually change the deck- speakers and amp the speakers but for now just add a box sub and amp. I have the stock system not the upgraded sony one. Any suggestions? I ran a W2 in my old f150 and loved it.

damn.... w2's? those havent been in production for ever... and a half....

give me some details about your truck. depending on your truck, you can fit a 12" possibly a 13.5" you need to match the woofer with the amp, so until we know which woofer you want to go with, i cant really make an amp suggestion yet.

2011 scab lol yeh I bought my old 02 f150 back in 2005 and put the w2 in it. Sold everything with the truck and I miss that sub. I do want the sub and amp somewhat hidden because I don't want it to get destroyed when people sit in the back.

these are 2 pioneer shallow mount 12's in the scab. it goes all the way back and sits flush with the seats and bolts on factory holes

dumbphone....1 pic at a time. the only downfall with the scabs, is that you lose the ability to fold the seat up once a box like this goes in.

What's the lowest profile sub they make? Love to hide some in the doors or somewhere. Generally a beastly engine roar is my preference to any music, however if a couple subs could be hidden to take up 0 extra space I'd be interested.

there are 4" woofers available, but its probably not the way you would want to go. there is also the choice of replacing the oem woofer with a new box and woofer. this too, however loses the ability to fold the 1/3 seat up.

Now that's a nice sub box. Where's the amp in this setup? Also how easy is it to wire the amp to the stock deck?

this was the truck where the customer flew me out to texas to do his install. we did 2pioneer shallow mount woofers as you can see, focal sound deadening, jl audio c3570 front and rear, jl audio xd400/4, 600/1, and cleansweep and summing device. the 2 amps, cleansweep and summing device are where the oem woofer used to be. if you are just wanting to add the sub for now, you need to use a hi/lo converter. you can tap into the oem woofer wires, but its betterto get the front or rear speakers for the signal

i can also build a box the has a single 12 with an amp mounting location that will fit the sam spot
