I haven't been in a '23 yet, they don't appear to be much different than the previous gen.The passenger side should have an exposed pull strap, but the drivers side is as pointed out in the post above. Not made to be easily accessible. The threads and videos showing how on the previous years, should be the same for your '23.

 

I've been looking for options specifically tailored to the Super Duty interior and all I have seen are the F150 specific versions you listed.

Trying to find examples of custom builds as I plan to swap out my stock subwoofer.

 

I can't tell you what the SGS system sounds like with the dual 6.5's behind the seat but I have a system (Stealth Focal Flax 7 Channel) on order with them that includes that specific sub set up. SGS just posted a new video of the install on a 2022 or 2023 F150 and all that gets removed is the factory jack. I need to keep my under seat storage so I went with their setup. I'm not looking to rattle everything in my truck with large subwoofers, but from what I've read, including reviews, the dual 6.5's are definitely an upgrade. And the fact that the entire system is completely plug and play was a bonus for me. The days of just powering a sub and stealing a signal are gone, so that was a big factor in my decision to use SGS.

 

sweet! Keep us posted once it’s installed.

 

Another option I’ve seen is under the front seat(s), although the only thing I’m finding is from Kicker but it seems cheap for Kicker and almost no box air space……

Updates from anyone?

 

After reading a thread on the Tremor forum I decide to go with a 8" Fosgate P3SD4-8, 4 ohm DVC sub and JL C1-690x 6x9's in the front doors. I sealed the factory sub box port, lined the exterior with sound deadener and filled the box with poly-fil. The results were definitely better sound from the door speakers, but the sub made the factory bass roll off even more prevalent to me.

So I decided to go with a Sounds Good Stereo harness that will fix the bass roll off and a dedicated Fosgate R2-250X1 sub amp and a 8" Fosgate P3SD2-8, 2 ohm DVC sub that I could wire into a 4 ohm load to better match the amp. The harness is supposed to be ready by tomorrow, and I found out that Sounds Good Stereo is located about 15 miles from me, so I'll be driving over to pick it up.

I threw the jack in the underseat storage and removed the bracket. Welded up an amp rack that reused the jack bracket mounting bolts. Ran a 4 AWG positive from a spare stud on the battery bus, installed a 50A inline fuse and used the factory chassis ground on the back of the cab to power the amp. The new harness will provide the remote on power. I ran the new 4 AWG through the fire wall boot by cutting an "X" in the little nipple part and ran a plastic fish tape from the outside in. The power wire runs down the passenger side to the back of the cab. Routing the wire was surprisingly really quick and easy.

I also added push terminals to the factory box for the speaker wire to connect to. Mounted the amp remote level control in the center console.

I still have to fabricate a couple of shields made from 1/8" ABS plastic to put under the amp to serve as a wire guards in case a power wire ever comes loose.

I'll report back on how this set up sounds. I'm not looking for some competition sound here, just a decent low end to complete the sound. If I can get this POS B&O to at least sound as good as the factory Fender system that was in my previous Titan XD I'll be happy. Ford's idea of a "premium" stereo is an absolute joke......our '23 Bronco B&O system sounds equally like complete trash

 

@01tundra Wow. Great install and fab for the amp mount. Ford should take a lesson. This is why I never shame someone for supporting the aftermarket industry. Very nice - I bet it sounds great!

 

Picked up the Kicker KeyLOC and new harness from Sounds Good Stereo yesterday, those guys do amazing work and are great to work with. Don took the time to explain the set up and it was very straight forward and simple to install.

My stereo now sounds great and it's how it should have sounded from the factory.

 

I like the way the B&O sound but it’s not near loud enough for me. I looooooovvvvvve loud music of any type. Thanks for the info here everyone

 

Two questions. Does replacing the factory speaker help at all and is there an electronic way to mitigate the bass roll off?
