Installed Kicker powered subwoofer

Finished installing my Kicker Substage Powered Subwoofer kit yesterday. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/SF...uper-Crew.html Install took about 2 hrs, taking my time. It was a straight forward install with good directions, great harness and well built subwoofer. I also installed some Kicker door speakers in all four doors about a week ago which made a quite a difference, but the bass just wasn't to my liking, so the subwoofer was a must. Very happy with the performance. All this is running off the 4.3" factory radio. I did plan on getting the Kicker Key amp for the front speakers but I'm not sure I need it.

I put a Rockville 10" self contained amp and sub behind the seat of my 2014 SCREW and have been very happy with it. Easy install and I didn't lose any space under my rear seat. I also replaced all 4 door speakers at the same time so the system sounds much better than stock and that sub hits pretty good for what it is.

I did the cheap route on the back seat release. Drilled a hole through the pin, but a key chain ring through it and a small piece of para-cord tied to the head rest. I really like those kicker subs, but couldn't find one to fit where I wanted it.

The subwoofer is definitely worth it. $699 is a little steep but if you want factory integration it is going to cost you. I bought the Ford Kicker Soundstage with the 4 speakers and front processor along with the sub when Beau was selling them for $399. That was a steal.
