wont fit. the rear seats pivot when you raise the bottom portion. no decent subwoofer will fit back there when the seat is up

Might want to look into the Rockford Fosgate P300-10t. I've had a few customers tell me it fits without any issues. I had a couple in stock, if interested send me an email to [email protected] or send me a DM.

Has anyone tried removing the paneling behind the rear seat on a SCREW it seems to “float out” quite a bit in certain areas and was wondering if cut out for the self contained 10” Kicker 46HS10 would allow the seats to be raised.

i have the 46hs10 under my rear passenger seat where the factory sub was. Fits hidden away perfectly. That being said, I only recommend it if you want something with good high to mid bass, ie country, classic rock, etc. if you want something good for low end bass, ie rap, look elsewhere. It sounds bad. Im looking into swapping it out and mounting my jl shallow 10 and amp either behind the seat in the same cutout area you’re talking about or below the rear passenger as well if I can find a box small enough to fit there

Did you pick up the line input from the rear speakers or the input for the old subwoofer?

you need to get signal from the front door speakers

Not sure actually, I had it professionally installed so I'm willing to bet rear speakers out of proximity. I'll check this weekend

Couldn’t remember which one you said had more signal range. I realize the 46hs10 is on the “lower end “ of performance in general, but do you think you would hear a difference between front speaker signal, rear speaker signal and original factory sub input?
I created a 2X4 box of the same dimensions and while the seat won’t latch up, I could still raise it to gain ample access to the space where the factory sub is. Once removed, I would only be accessing that area occasionally for stored items and if it was for a short time, figure I could bungee the seat 3/4 of the way up.
So the result would be gain more under seat space and give a (moderate ?) enhancement to the stereo systems bass ??? (For $400 and a couple of hours)

yes you will hear a difference. i would stick to using the front speakers for signal. as far as the box goes, its your call. i build boxes out of fiberglass for the gen 1 crewcabs that fit in the oem location to fit a 10" subwoofer. i personally have a box that runs full length of the rear seat with 2 10" subwoofers and a storage space in the middle since im not using my under seat for anything. i havent been too pleased with those micro sub setups, but im more into sq than most so its different than what you might be satisfied with

Do you happen to know the wire color for the front speakers vs rear off the top of your head? I've searched and only found regular f150, not sure if raptor is any different?
