Hey Guys,

Been reading a lot about replacing the factory audiophile sub in the F-150's. I'm looking at possibly getting the kicker or pioneer low profile that fits in the factory box. My question is, how does it sound? I don't really want to mess with running all the wiring and what not for a bigger amp, box and sub, but would like a little more bump from the factory system. What do you guys think of these? I did a search, but couldn't find very many reviews.

 

Just swapping out the speaker is not going to do much for you, except maybe clean up the bass. More bump is going to take more power and a larger speaker.

 

The factory amp will bump pretty good if you run it off an aftermarket headunit or run a JL cleansweep to override what ford does to castrate the factory sound. The 8" kicker CVT is a perfect fit in the factory sub box.

 

I bought a factory sub from a guy on here and connected it to my Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD HU and I'm impressed with it. I had driven a truck with the Audiophile system before buying mine and was not impressed at all. I guess the better HU makes the difference.

 

Just sell your audiophile system on eBay for atleast $100 and get all new box amp sub LOC and wire for like $150 like I did and you can have tons of more bass for a low cost. if you wanna know more just let me know. I bought 2 10" subs off eBay for $50 and free shipping. you can too bcuz it was a company
