don't get fooled by a single 10 inch woofer! it will rock your truck, i've heard this set up and it unbelievable! i had 2 8 inch woofers and its rocks *** and i listen to hip hop music.

 

Also, check out http://www.tech12volts.com/. He does a lot of custom boxes, and is supposed to be a great guy to work with.

 

Try this guy. http://www.spl2k.com/boxworx.html

He knows a thing or 2 about sub boxes.

 

after checking out the boxworx, he sounds like he knows whats goin on!

 

thanks for your help guys!!

 

JL audio is offering a very interesting looking custom sub enclosure that is made to fit within the center console of the 08 SD.

Not sure how much of the center console it would use up though. Check it out at Crutchfield or JL Audio websites.

Beef- Its what's for dinner.

 

Hey X, you seem to have some good advise. I just bought a Shaker 500 out of a 2006 mustang to install in my 2005 f150 xlt with single cd. I want the factory look so aftermarket was not an option. I have already installed new door speakers front and rear and am looking for a factory sub. Any thing that I can do to make it a killer system. Also looking for the sub plugs, any suggestions?

 

nah that guy dont know JACK!!!! ha ha ha ( note saracasm )

That guys got all sorts of crazy installs! 20 12's in a civic CRAZY, liked the "custom" bed he did, pretty sweet!

 

Good question.

Did any of the 150's come with a factory sub option?

 

None i can think of off top of my head, could go the loc route with aftermarket amp and stealth box.
Just an idea.

 

I think you could find something aftermarket that looks factory.

You can still tap into the factory system and add some nice low end.

kinda exactly what this guy is selling.
Stealth boxes, and an amp that are hidden would look factory. Unless you showed them to someone. The amp can be wired to work off fo your stock unit. There would be a loss in sound quality, i belive, but not a huge one.

 

Just switched the single cd head unit for the Shaker 500. Big sound difference even without the sub, now I HAVE to get a sub. The light dimming problems some people have is non existent, it works fine. I now need to get the wiring and plugs for the sub. There was no connectors in the dash that I could find, oh, the truck is a 2005 f150 xlt, single cd was the stock radio. What type of wiring should I be looking for and any good sub suggestions. I am looking into the thunderform.

 

You won't be able to just plug in a sub into the deck.

As hop will have to tie into one of the speakers for signal and then you will have to run seperate power for an amp to power the sub.

A small amp and sub installed shold be an easy cheap one from any car audio shop. It's a simple add so if a shop says they can't do it or shouldn't then your at the wrong shop.

Just don't let a salesman sell ya on a whole new system. If your overall happy with the way it sounds now then add what you want, not what someone makes commission on.
