I recently pulled the stereo from my '07 F150 and then traded it in on an '06 F250. (The F150, not the stereo.) I'm going to be installing the same equipment in the '06.
The equipment list is:
Pioneer Premier DEH-P490IB HU
Infinity Kappa 680.9cs components in the front doors
Infinity Kappa 682.7cf coaxials in the rear
Infinity Reference 1052w subwoofer
Alpine M450 mono amp for the sub
Alpine F450 amp for the front/rear speakers
Nothing fancy. I have always just wanted clarity in my music. I don't care if the cars around me can hear me or not. I like to install my equipment so that it appears stock to someone looking in (other than the hu). One thing I have decided to do is to mount a board below the rear seats and mount the amps upside down to the board. I am hoping the this will offer some protection from things being thrown in on top of the amps by mistake. Here are a few pics of where I stand.
I used (2) short lengths of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" angle bolted together to make brackets for the amp shelf.
The shelf itself is simply a 1x10 pine board. I had to notch it at the middle seat brace. Here I am test fitting the shelf.
Here the amps and wires are mounted to the bottom of the shelf.
That's it for the moment. More to follow. I've got to get out there now and figure out the best way to run the all of the different cables. If anyone has suggestions on the best place to mount the tweeters in the front, I'm all ears.
