My 2008 F150 SuperCrew install

[bertholomey]

This truck did sound very good at the meet last week - I wish I could have heard it with the BM hooked up. I wish you had been able to listen to my set up with one SI Mag - let me know if you make it over to the Greensboro area sometime if it is before our mini-meet.

Thanks! I am so new to this, it was good to get input, though not many people save me input on the scene (more post thread remarks, which is good too).

I did want to hear your ride, but it was full most of the day. Sheesh had to take a ticket! Although, if you saw my comment from the meet thread, you know I am about as useful for feedback as a warthog with t**ts.

I guess that makes it seem like all take and no give....but you dont know how much I wish I have the anatomical audio tools to give you feedback.

what are the door cards? I've seen you mention it quite a few times but still dont know what you're referring to.

Fancy term for the plastic door panels.

-when you relocated the remote module, did you have to drill any new holes behind that trim piece, or did you use 2 of the few holes already existing there?

-What kind of distro blocks are those? They look like stingers, but whats the model #. Also the second set of distro blocks (+/-) feeding off the 4 ga, what are those?


Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just now relocating my amps to the back wall and your build has helped me out a lot. I'm sure I can think of more.

When I relocated the remote module, I used sheet metal screws and made new holes. It literally took about 5 mins to relocate it from start to finish.

The main distro block are:

Ground: Stinger, Model: SHD21
Stinger SHD21 Car Audio 1 (1/0Ga Input) 4 (4Ga Outputs) HPM Distribution

Power:
Stinger. Model SHD821
Stinger SHD821 Car Audio 1 (1/0Ga Input) 4 (4Ga Outputs) Distribution

or

Singer HPM MIDI Fused Distribution Block

I have several of these left over if you need one or more.

The triangular one in the photos allows me to input 4 ga and output 8 ga....but I use it to output 12 ga.

It is a P3 Platinum Distribution Block 1x4

There are so many distribution blocks on the market (fused and non-fused) it is not even funny!! I recommend Parts Express and Darvex and good, reliable sources.

Do you have any pictures of the finished product?

[ARCuhTEK]

Other than the photographs above, not really. The truck looks 100% stock on the inside. So that would not look any different than perhaps any other F150. The last photos I posted were the ones with the back seat off showing the amp wall. That is all that is particularly interesting about my install. Nothing exciting, from a custom standpoint, but I suppose more informative from the "challenge" standpoint on getting amps and etc. on that back wall.

Where did you mount the sub? I only saw door speakers installed.

You only saw doors speakers installed in this thread? Really? Hmmm. I just checked and post 205 has some good pics of the amps, sub, etc.

[jr5166]

Sorry, yes I saw the great job on the amp mounts and I am going to do something similar in my 2009. I just have a few concerns on sub box location. I still didn't see a sub in the pics unless that grey plastic in the lower right hand corner of the last picture was it?

Yes that "grey plastic" with the speaker wires running to the sub amp is my sub enclosure.

Do you have a link to those clips you used for wire organization?

EDIT - Just out of curiosity, did you take a look at the enclosures from supercrewsounds before deciding on the Q-Logic? I'm thinking about picking up one for my '09 SCrew.
