If I'm completely honest, it's hard to quantify the improvement of sound dampening. I can definitely say it helps, but it isn't night and day when driving down the street. In quiet exhaust mode, the raptor is already surprisingly quiet. (Of course there is some wind noise, but dampening...

Cool setup, thanks for sharing. Few questions for you: Did you try the Phoenix sub and not like it, or was there another reason to just swap it from the start? For the wake board speakers, is that for tailgating or something? Do you have them set to play lower volume while driving?

I'd be curious to see how they mounted your amps/dsp if you have any pics.

I probably wouldn't have sought out the Phoenix sub that is built into the box, but It sounds good and hits pretty hard for a sealed sub. It's technically only rated for 400w rms, and I'm giving it 800 which is listed as max, so we'll see how it does, but either way I'll have the box to use...

The kicker key amp is a very small form factor, around 50w per channel to 4 channels, so it can certainly fit in the dash as others have done. If you look at the pictures of the amps in my post, you'll notice there are 2 of them and they are each a larger form factor. I can't imagine fitting...

The rear pods are channel 5-6 of the amp so they are tuned to the same frequency curve as the rest. That said, I set their gain level as high as I could without being able to hear it from the front when everything is on. In my f150 I don't run rear speakers, but I felt like I needed to add...

I'm interested in this too, but after a good amount of searching, trial, and error, haven't found the answer yet. On the bright side, the Raptor gives me two really easy options to turn off the auto start/stop. Switch to sport mode and it automatically turns off Use the My Raptor "R"...

Seems you like your music loud and a different level of bass than I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, I think those builds are a lot of fun too, but in this case, I wanted something that would sound as good as possible, look fairly stock, and only take minimal space. I didn't put any GB40's...

Sound stage is fantastic, but a lot of that is determined by the timing and tuning in the DSP setup. This is the first time I've done and active two-way speakers in the front, but it does seem to give more control over the soundstage.

Thanks for the comments. #1 - I added a link to Forscan details to the original post. #2/3 - I just used the standard plug and play kit, linked above. From what I can tell it is exactly the same as the 6 channel, just the added sub output which I did not use. #4 - Sound is great and was pretty...

If you only knew... That said, I try to make it a point to give something back since these forums have been so helpful in getting me to this point.

About 7 years ago, I purchased one of the new model 2015 F150's and within a few weeks removed the interior, soundproofed, and was one of the first to document an audio upgrade on that model. I still have the truck and it's one of my favorite things every time I get in it. 2015 F150 XLT Screw...

It's subjective, but from my point of view the overall system sounded pretty decent for what it is. System volume was plenty adequate at highway speeds with the top off, and you could certainly hear there was some filler bass coming from the sub. My guess is that 80-90% of people would be...

I can't say much about the wiring for sure, but I was able to find this one picture of the input connector (brown plug). It looks to me like the larger wires are power and ground and then there are 3 smaller wires.

That's what I'm thinking it has to be at this point because the rear seats are the only place that use those 18mm nuts that i know of. If anyone can confirm the rear seats are only 7 x 18mm plus the 2 x T55 star bolts for the belts, then I guess that's the only reason it could be. Thanks

Finishing up the stereo upgrade in my 22 4dr. Upgrade included soundproofing, so I removed most of the interior. Everything went back together well except I have one leftover 18mm rear seat nut. I've looked everywhere, but im stumped. Anyone able to help me figure out what I missed? Picture...

I'm planning to do a post on my upgrade soon, but in short, I put in a dsp/amp, replaced all speakers, and added a tailgate sub.

I have a 22 raptor with the 7 speaker setup. I assume that is the same thing they're putting in the 23. The sub amp is just mounted on the enclosure. I'm finishing a stereo upgrade and happen to have the sub out, so here are a few pics.

I just picked mine up on Saturday and it looks the same. I had the same question, so glad to find this thread and at least know it's the same across models.

Yes, definitely turns a lot of heads, and I saw a number of people snap photos while we were at an outdoor restaurant this evening. Comments are mostly how good it looks and they can't get over how wide and big it is.
