Car Speaker Subwoofer Enclosures Under Seat for Ford
If you are planning to upgrade the sound system in your car, a subwoofer is perhaps one of the most impactful changes you can make. Placing it under your seat is a space-efficient choice, but you will also need an enclosure to mount it and protect it from vibrations. The right Ford under-seat speaker enclosure depends on your needs and the type of subwoofer you want to install.
What sizes of subs fit into under-seat enclosures?There are three main sizes of speakers that fit Fords under the seat. They measure 8 inches, 10 inches, and 12 inches in diameter. A larger size does not necessarily mean more sound because a bigger speaker also needs more power to drive it. Make sure you know how large the subwoofer you want is and how much space you need to leave in diameter to get the most out of it.
Do Ford speaker enclosures have multiple openings?Yes. If you are planning to buy a subwoofer set with multiple drivers, then you will need more than one opening to accommodate them. The most common arrangements involve one or two openings. For two openings, both are nearly always the same size. In terms of their setup, they may be centered in the enclosure or spread to the outside edges.
Does the year of the vehicle matter?Yes, it does. Even for a mainstream model like the Ford F150, there are occasional modifications and redesigns from year to year. Some of these can cause old enclosures to not fit anymore. Of courses the speaker has to work with your car, but the enclosure has to work as well. Check to see if the compatible model year list matches up. Multiple model years can use the same design or experience small, custom changes that don't affect the fit of subwoofer enclosures.
Do you need an enclosure for a new subwoofer?Yes. The car is full of vibrations and shaking when you drive it. Even vibrations too mild to feel can damage the electronics of speakers and knock them out of alignment, especially after a few years of use. Your sub also has to be protected from sudden shocks or other problems. Moreover, the enclosure keeps the speaker pointed in the right direction for the best bass experience. It's the only way to safely and properly mount your equipment.
