Jason Riley's 1999 Ford Ranger
Items installed:
Installation Description
It took a little cutting into the sheet metal, but I got a Kicker Solo-Baric L7 10" Subwoofer into my truck. This sub POUNDS! I love it! This blows away the 2 12"s I had in my old car.
I completely ripped out the entire back end (plastic factory speaker location,) and rebuilt it using some scrap plywood I had in the backyard. I used black automotive carpet to contrast the stock tan. I think the contrast looks real good.
I only lost 2 clicks on the passenger side seat (where the sub is) and the driver seat still reclines all the way.
