2007-2017 Ford Expedition (and Expedition EL / Max) 3rd Gen (U324) — subwoofer box fitment

What we researched for this specific generation: where an enclosure actually fits, what the factory speakers are, how the factory audio is wired, and which real builds and commercial products exist for it. Confidence badges say how well each figure is sourced — this is research, not manufacturer spec.

Body styles covered: 4-Door SUV, EL/Max (extended length)

Where a box actually fits

These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.

Standard Likely

Locationcargo area (retailer-measured, promoted from existing notes)
Outer bounding box51"W x 15"H x 24"/30"D (below side ledges)
Known obstructionsFactory subwoofer mounting bosses behind the quarter panels are fixed anchor points that determine the aftermarket-replacement location, distinct from the larger open cargo envelope
Usable volume estimate8 ft³

Starting points

Suggested configurations for this vehicle, not prescriptions. Run the numbers in the Box Builder before you buy anything.

Door speaker fitment

Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.

Front doors Solid

Factory speaker size6x8" or 5x7", with 1.570" tweeters also in the door panels
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented
Adapter bracket neededunconfirmed
TweeterFront door panel. IMPORTANT CROSS-REFERENCE, confirmed earlier this same completeness pass: this exact figure was originally (mis)attributed to the shared-platform Lincoln Navigator's own entry, sourced from a Crutchfield guide covering both vehicles together — direct research corrected the Navigator's real tweeter (a THX-branded 2.194" unit in the rear pillar, genuinely different). This Expedition entry is the CORRECT home for the 1.570" figure — it belongs here, not to the Navigator.

Rear doors Solid

Factory speaker size6x8" or 5x7" (same platform family as front)
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented
Adapter bracket neededunconfirmed
Tweetern/a — tweeter not independently confirmed as doubled to rear doors

Factory audio integration

Factory amp / premium audioPartial year split, not a full breakdown. 2015-2017 (facelift years): Sony-branded 12-speaker premium system confirmed real and named — forum owners report it as the SAME system across XLT, Limited, and Platinum trims for these years, i.e. not trim-gated once offered. 2007-2014: no source found — not researched still applies to the earlier two-thirds of this generation's span.
Adding subs without a head-unit swapStraightforward — factory sub location is a known, bolt-in-friendly anchor point
Head unitNo replacement needed

Known integration products

Mounting locations

Standard Likely

Real measured cargo space: 51"W x 15"H x 24"/30"D (below side ledges). Factory subwoofers mount behind the quarter panels with fixed mounting bosses that determine the aftermarket-replacement location — JL Audio Stealthbox is a confirmed direct fit here. Larger custom option: behind-3rd-row box, 48"w x 17.5"tall, 9.75" mounting depth, hole cutouts for 15" square or 13.75" round subs.

Before you cut anything

Measure your own vehicle. Trim levels, factory subwoofer options, and mid-generation changes all move these numbers, and a box cut to a researched figure that does not match your truck is wasted wood. Where a badge reads Unconfirmed, treat the value as a starting point for your own measurement, not as an answer.
