I have an 04 F250 Superduty Crewcab and received a Basslink II today. Rear seat is a 3/4 Split Bench Seat. The dimentions of the subwoofer are 15"H x 9-3/4"W x 15-1/8"D.

The question isn't "DOES it fit?", but "WHERE is the best place I can make it fit??" Has anyone here ever installed an Infinity BassLink II in these trucks, without having to give up the use of the rear seat? I don't mind a little modification if needed, as long as I can still have the rear.

ANY suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanx.

Bleeder,

I had a regular basslink in my 99 F350 Standard cab and got it to fit by moving the seats up one notch. I now own a 2006 F350 CrewCab and have sold the basslink to a friend for use in his truck. @ 9 3/4" thick w/o mounting hardware it just wasn't worth the mods I would have had to do to get it in. Alpine makes a PLT-5 unit(very nice). Infinity makes a Basslink T designed for pickup trucks, or you can look to standard truck box subs with seperate amps. (I have been seeing that a lot in crew cabs) - One thing that did interest me was JL Audio stealthbox - retrofits the center console on my truck(which is way to big inside anyway-IMHO) It is easy to tuck a 500w mono amp somewhere. In my opinion this was the cleanest solution but definitely not the cheapest. Let me know what you decide - just thought I would give you my thoughts as this is the first truck I have not wanted to cut and modify as far as stereo equipment is concerned.

As far a my truck goes I have everything planned out but am still undecided on the sub solution. I will be installing a Alpine IVA-w205, 2 alpine 7" screens (1 in each headrest) backup camera, and sub. - just pulling everything together on my shopping list first. I have already replaced all the stock speakers with Infinity Kappa 6.5" - I will post some pics once I decide on a sub and the install is complete.

 

crashedct,

How do you like the kappa's? I've been thinking about swapping out the stock speakers in my 04.

Thanks!

 

they are great.. much improved over stock that's for sure. I have put Kappas in almost every vehicle I have owned and have never been disappointed. Great speaker for a good price.

 

Thanx for the quick replies! Excellent suggestions...

Looks like I'll have to look at the Basslink T a bit more closely.....and appearantly, I now have a brand new Basslink II that will be on eBay soon!!

Thanx again...and if anyone needs a 250 watt Basslink II subwoofer, hit me up!!

 

The Basslink T is the way to go. All I had to do was remove the back panel behind the seat. (the hump for the power slider is in the way)
