Hey guys im looking to do a full sound system in my 2011 f150 xlt. Its a bone stock truck, doesnt have sync or steering wheel controls.
Im looking to use a single 12" sub and do all 4 door speakers and head unit, but trying to keep costs low while still getting quality stuff. I've never done sound systems before so i need a bit of help.
Here's my mentality, I have no sync or steering wheel control, so I pull the old head unit out, use an adapter from the stock to new head unit to power a single din radio. I then maybe will have to hook up the antenna some how as well. I then wire my sub to the amp, and amp to the battery and head unit. I then put the new door speakers in, and use the wire adapters to take the door speaker wires and plug them into the new head unit.
Im using a basic new plastic kit to hold the new head unit and keep all ac controls, heres the link to it. It comes with an adapter, is this all that I need to power the new radio?
I'm thinking of using an under the back seat shallow box with a skar VD-12 800 watt shallow mount sub. What amp and wiring kit should i use with it? I'm going to get a box that is fit to go under the back seat on one side. I also should note i think the size of the sub matters with the depth of the box I chose, but im not sure how to determine which ones will work. I've linked it below
So my questions are:
what 12" sub, amp, door speakers, and wiring kit do you guys recommend?
what single din head unit should i get?
what door speaker adapters should i use?
what adapter do i need to plug my stock wiring into the new radio?
Thanks for the help, anything is appreciated as I know nothing about this stuff
