I have electronics package and was disappointed with the sound from this radio so I decided to upgrade with the help of our local stereo shop. I did not have the subwoofer in the trunk from factory. I apologize for the crappy iPhone pictures.
Factory headunit (unchanged here)
2 Shots of the JL Stealthbox added to trunk (again I did not order sub package from Ford). This really booms and I know I need to adjust the carpet a bit. I am really curious to see if a replacement mat for trunk designed for shaker pro will fit in here.
Here is the equipment (CleanSweep by JL). I wanted to leave the headunit alone as I like the look and interface reasonably well. Headunit sound control has limitations (with bass/treble only) so that is why the cleansweep. Added JL amp to control sub and replaced door speakers.
front door speakers JL-c5 (behind grill above mids)--I didn't photo the door as it looks exactly the same.
The sub control knob (black) and cleansweep knob (steel). These knobs were added inside the console where you can connect USB. Cleansweep knob adjusts the volume of digital output of the audio signal from headunit to the amp. I know I need to cleanup just a little.
Rear door speakers JL c3's (no cosmetic mods here so no pics)
The "mids" in the door were left alone as there is a separate factory amp driving these and they didn't add or interfere much. I am very happy with upgrade here and it is very balanced.
