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?
white / white brown (white is positive drivers side)
white violet /white orange (white violet is positive passenger side)

It looks like it’s spliced into the old subwoofer harness

Bumping an old thread.
Replacing the stock Sony sub with one of powered subs suggested in this thread. What is the proper way to wire it up?
In jgwoody's picture, it is using the stock harness, but it looks like there are other wires coming from somewhere else.

Finally upgraded! See here: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/thr...our-raptor-today.25089/page-2666#post-1865305

My installer can build more of these boxes if you want to go the same route

@The Car Stereo Company Ok, reviving this thread. I still have hopes of more underseat space with the “relocation” of the factory sub but I think this is the last option before I try something like @JefeAZ did. Any thoughts on if this
With a dedicated amp, would fit behind the 1/3 seat with the paneling removed and Dynamat installed on the back of the cab (rear facing sub). It looks to be tight but still doable. I have an existing.

I have a DU-HA underseat storage that accommodates the Sony sub that would have to be cut up if I went with a sub under the seat, but maybe at least bolt the cut end to the sub to keep it from flapping around.

4.5" is a thick amp but could fit. Mine was under 2" I believe but bolted to a board back there

not sure it will fit. i know it will fit wuth the seat down, but try to fold it up and you might have problems. try a piece of wood the same height as the amp and see if it folds up
