Appreciate you sharing this tip. I’ll certainly keep it in the back pocket….Im actually trying to determine if my 09 King Ranch is compatible for installing the Sony factory sub/amp. Is it simply plug in play? The head unit is 6 disc, xm satellite, sync and Bluetooth…it has does not have the navigation screen but I believe it’s compatible for that option. Found a few people in my area that are selling theirs. Thanks for the great content and helpful tips.

Ok well here is an update. I just added polyfoam in my speaker box. Here is the outcome. It does sound waaaay better, no joke it actually sounds great. I was shocked!! I will say that my sub may not be factory becuase someone broke the screw in the back of the sub where the cover mounts so somebody obviously took it out for a reason. Either way it sounds noticeably better atleast on mine it does.

FYI for anyone watching, the video is worth watching.. This video shows a standard car audio tweak so that a sub reacts as if it's in a larger box. The oversimplified explanation of box size vs sound output is that smaller boxes = punchier bass (like the sound from a kick drum) and larger = boomier deeper bass (like when holding the low note on a huge pipe organ). Too large will make the sound sloppy. Too small and there won't be enough low bass.

Personally I don't think it went crazy well perhaps? lol... I think that's too much for that enclosure. It risks getting sucked into the basket as the air pressure increases and decreases. I've been researching recently about this which is why I came across your video because I'm putting my stock factory subwoofer back inside of this 2006 f150 that I have and hooking it up to a pioneer 1770 NEX because it's not hooked up right now. I thought it was a wiring problem but they put radio that wasn't this truck's radio back into it and it didn't have an outlet for the subwoofer which is why I wasn't working. So we'll see how it goes and I'm going to add some polyfill in it just not this much. Doing it according to this link which was I think more helpful kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sN-aidZ3p92aoqc.html By the way when it says tricking the subwoofer into thinking it's in a bigger box which is hence That's just a thought. I think it's because it increases the pressure inside of there. Think of pressure being a force over area and essentially you have this same force that was being produced without the polyfill except on the polyfill creating a force that develops energy that probably creates more shaking and punchier and boom your booming
