Well worth the cost ! Im in love with it and wish the factory came like this


I know there was conversation about 2 different kits and you were up on the info. Does this one just need to be spliced with the factory connector and it's good to go?

You can buy the complete sound stage like I did. I used all 4 door speakers and the sub. You wire the hot lead for the sub and then use your factory sub plug, split eat into the wires for the kicker sub that are supposed to go to the speaker taps. But using the factory plug you get a better connection and sound output . Since it still thinks its a sub you don't get the mid and higher freq sounds . Hits a lot harder and you don't lose the control of your fader . The Kicker amp that comes with the kit just gets tossed aside .

If the price is $500 its still a steal! That kit thru Ford is $1000+

Got it from a guy who is on eBay and the F15o nation Facebook page . He has them listed in the selling post . His name is Beau

Thanks for the heads up on that fb page. Found a guy 40 mins away selling a new one for 375 so I grabbed it up. Btw for anyone else interested, the guy who says them on eBay is selling them on that page for $399 shipped so go grab one from there!

Check the for sale section, just do a search in the top right for kicker. If someone can update the first post with this, I'm sure quite a few of us would enjoy this deal!
I have to wait to be accepted to the group first, then Beau is selling full kits for $399? I thought I remembered somebody saying if you use the door speakers then it negates the tweeters?
