Talking Redoing the Radio and sound

I have a cheap after market single din in there with my JL audios hooked up in the front doors, and some cheap 6x8 in the back doors.

Time to:
*Replace the radio with a eclipse AVN 5500 that i got for free!
*Amp the 2 JL up front, leave the 2 back running off the head unit.
*install the back up cam for the 5500.
*Install the Sirus sat box
* maybe install a xbox
* bypass the dvd
*install handsfree stuff
*big 3 upgrade for the batteries


ANY advice on taking the carpet up or just the sides? and adive for taking the dash apart?

Not sure of your cab configuration but pulling the seats/carpet is extremely easy in the F250's. I pulled all mine up when I added my amp/sub. I have the ext. cab, it was 4 bolts each (actually 2 nuts/2 bolts) for the driver/pass. seats and I believe 4 bolts for the center console/seat. Once those are out of the way, you can see what smaller pieces of trim need to come up.

The dash just pulls straight out, grab a corner and pull (careful though, not too far or you'll pull apart your dash connections). I was able to install my nav/dvd unit without pulling the dash completely out.

Yeah, the carpet pulls out in one piece, very easy to remove/replace.

I have a Q-logic center console in the rear, only running 1 JL Audio 10" sub.

I have the ext cab. Q-logic makes a center console that goes on the floor and goes under the bench seat.

Picture of it below:

Q-Customs Factory-fit Subwoofer Enclosures 1999 Ford Super Duty Extended Cab Truck at Crutchfield.com

I just noticed the description says it fits a 12" sub. They may have changed it since I bought mine, mine only holds a 10".
