[QUOTE="Andrewj299, post: 8920790, member: 694478"] I’m trying to set up a new system in the 2010 f150 I just got. I’m familiar with subs I’m gonna put 4 8” subs in a custom ported box and I have the amp and all ready to go. I want to buy speaker pods and drive the speakers off of another 4 channel amp.
