The Story

When you're driving a heavy-duty truck, you shouldn't have to compromise on sound quality. This 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat came to Sound Connection looking for a premium audio upgrade that would deliver powerful bass and crystal-clear music while keeping the truck practical for everyday use.

The foundation of the system is a pair of Rockford Fosgate T1S1-10S 10-inch Power T1 Slim subwoofers, custom integrated behind the rear seat. Designed specifically for tight spaces, these high-performance shallow-mount subwoofers deliver exceptional low-frequency output while requiring minimal enclosure depth, making them the perfect choice for modern heavy-duty trucks.

Powering the bass is a Rockford Fosgate R2-1200X1 monoblock amplifier, providing clean, efficient power to maximize the performance of both subwoofers. The truck's full-range speakers are driven by a Kenwood Excelon XR401-4 four-channel amplifier, delivering increased clarity, dynamic range, and overall output compared to the factory system.

Rather than replacing the factory infotainment system, we integrated the amplifiers seamlessly with the OEM radio, preserving all factory controls, vehicle features, and the clean factory appearance while dramatically improving the listening experience.

Both amplifiers were professionally mounted beneath the rear seat for a clean, serviceable installation, while the custom subwoofer enclosure tucks neatly behind the seat, preserving valuable cabin space without compromising bass performance.

The finished result is exactly what a premium Super Duty deserves—deep, accurate bass, exceptional clarity, and a factory-integrated installation that looks as good as it sounds. Whether towing a trailer, traveling across the state, or simply enjoying the daily commute, this F-350 now delivers a premium listening experience worthy of the truck itself.
