I need to get some bass into this car but so far I've wasted tons of wood and nothing seems to work. Anybody has any ideas about putting a subwoofer or two into this truck? I'm tired thanks

lift the rear seat and make a box under it....thats a traditional method for trucks with a rear seat.

it's got separate seats with center console, not much space to build a box there.

I tried to modify the back to install two 8" kickers but then the reclinable seats won't lock into place. There's little clearance. I'm thinking of modifying the center console and build a box there but I'm sick of cutting wood already.

Hi, I have a 2003 Harley with a JL Stealthbox installed in the rear console. The output is excellant. It plays low and very quick and tight. It is a bit ineffiecient though. A Hifonics Zeus Series 8 (900W @4 ohms Bridged) sounds the best out of several other brands tried, Total Stealth for about $500! The whole sub install took about an hour. You will loose storage in the rear console however the install bill for a custom box is the other option. Amp mounting is a bit of a challenge. Installed a fan behind the console, A small hatch which clips in to cover below the rear window was easy to mount a 5 inch fan which keeps the Zeus and ADS PQ-40.2 very cool!Good amount of space under the center console for audio gear or alarm. Good Luck!

Here is the link: https://www.jlaudio.com/stealthbox/f150_CTR4.html
I see they added a 2003 and up Expedition 10" sub for front center console. So now you have a choice of the 12" rear console or the 10" front console. If you do decide to order one, it might take a month or so for delivery.
A seperate note: Watch the Goodyear GT II tires, the wet tracktion is horrible. Serious Hydroplaning problem! Dry trackion is exceptable. I have 12,000 on the current set and I'm replacing them ASAP!

This is like an aspirin to my headache. Sounds pricey but I see no other option at this time. What do you think will give the best bass? the 10 inch in the middle or the 12 on the back, I'd say the one on the back is better. Thanks!

really there isn't much space there mainly because of the center console and you don't wanna give that look up.
