Subwoofers?

I was wondering if anyone has installed subs in their truck? Is it possible to hook up subs using the stock stereo... the sync 3 i believe?

I'm looking at adding some behind the back seats driver side. JL TW3's will fit in a custom fiberglass box back there and sound pretty good. Local shop to me has done them on a couple trucks. Quote for it was around 1400 all said and done.

Without the Sony system it’s pretty easy.
It gets complicated with the Sony system. Search upgraded stereo in the 17 psd forum.
Lots of reading.
Good luck.
Welcome!

We added subs, two jl w3 in the fox acoustics box and it’s loud. I have the Sony system and you might want to use a jl clean sweep, DSP to keep the signal clear. Other than that, simple install

The JL AUDIO Clean Sweep has been discontinued for almost a year.

The new JL processor for OEM systems with the stock head unit are called the FIX-82 or the FIX-86.

I just added the Kicker Substage to my 16 F150 XLT for $475. It sounds Great for the money. To me it sounds as good as my Sony system I had in my 15 F350.

It's also a plug and play unit. My truck already had the harness for it behind to rear seat on the drivers side. Had to get Ford to turn it on.

Same unit fits the 17 + Super Duties.

Went through Ebay Banner Ford. They had it listed for around $519. They have a Buy now or make offer.

The Kicker Sub is made just for these trucks and looks factory. It also carries the Ford Bumper to Bumper Warranty.

Love mine!

I have a SuperCab, so not as much room as a Crew. I put a low profile JL sub in a custom box under the driver-side back seat. I put the amps behind the driver-side rear seat (one amp for the mains and one for the sub). It came with the AC inverter under the passenger-side rear seat.
