2007 Sport Trac Aftermarket Sub in Factory Location

Dee Cee · Mar 30, 2007

Greetings All,

New to forum and can't find a solution to my problem. Just got a new 2007 Sport Trac and am ready to install my aftermarket sound! I want to mount my amp on the back wall or floor under rear seat, but my big problem is the sub location. I think the factory location is in storage compartment in back wall behind 40 seat, this would be perfect for my 10" sub, but I can't find anything online about how to do it. How to seal, reinforce, mount, etc. Can I use stock mounting parts and where to buy. I don't like the custom boxes under the rear seat, looks goofy and is in the way! Would love any pics, help or info.

Nick, I am interested in just the same problem. That box is in a very good spot for a lot of things,,,,,,,including that amp, if you decide on another location for the sub.

Can you post some pictures of the enclosure and surrounding area?

JD built my box for my '07. I put the amps under the 60% side of the seat, and the storage compartment holds my CD changer/distrubution block/cap... No modification of the back wall was needed for the speaker in this location. It is however a shallow mount 10"... Shakes the mirrors but not overly boomy... Fills in the sounds nicely. My doore speakers (Polk DX7's) are amplified as well. Alpine 4 channel, and Alpine mono amp in use, AVIC Z1 in the dash.

Nice set-up, i've got the Z1 in the dash too. My next upgrade will be the door speakers and then possibly a small amp but not much else. Again, your setup looks good A1cntrler.

Thanks. There are pics in my library of the box before I covered it. You can get a better idea of the depth that Jacob had to work with there to get the correct airspace for that speaker from the side view of the box. The layout/wiring in the truck took about a day. The wiring to the door speakers is concealed within the boots going to each door. There are also detailed pic of how I had to run the wires through those boots for the rear door especially. Took a bit of thinking on how to do it the best way... The system preforms flawlessly. IT hink it has just enough bass. Much more and the wife would complain. If I am listening to a CD though I need to turn it down a couple clicks to keep her happy though... XM/Hard Drive/FM are all about equal..
