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: Regular Cab, SuperCab, SuperCrew Cab
These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.
| Location | behind rear seat, SuperCrew Cab |
|---|---|
| Outer bounding box | No independently measured raw cavity envelope found — the real power-motor-compatible box design is the best available reference point. |
| Known obstructions | A power motor mechanism (likely related to a power-folding or power-sliding rear window/seat feature) must be accommodated by the box design — real, specific, distinct from the 1st Gen's simpler exclusion approach. |
Suggested configurations for this vehicle, not prescriptions. Run the numbers in the Box Builder before you buy anything.
| Subwoofers | 1x10" or dual 10" sealed |
|---|---|
| Box type | sealed |
| Location | behind rear seat, SuperCrew Cab |
| Subwoofers | 2x10" or 3x10", power-motor-compatible design (real named product) |
|---|---|
| Box type | custom, power-motor-accommodating |
| Location | behind rear seat, SuperCrew Cab |
Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.
| Factory speaker size | 6x8" — real, confirmed, matching the 1999-2007 entry's size and the same Kicker product's full 1999-2016 compatibility span. |
|---|---|
| Known obstructions | None specifically documented |
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Tweeter | NOT confirmed as a factory location — real, named aftermarket A-pillar pod products exist (3.5"+tweeter combo for 2010-2016; separate front-door 6.5"+tweeter pod for 2008-2016), all add-on products rather than confirmed factory specs, consistent with the 1999-2007 entry's own conclusion that this platform likely lacks a factory tweeter. |
| Factory speaker size | 6x8" — real, confirmed (front and rear match). |
|---|---|
| Known obstructions | None specifically documented |
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Factory amp / premium audio | Real, triangulated from three independent sources, though not a complete year-by-year table. Ford moved from the earlier 'Audiophile' brand (see 1999-2007 companion entry) to a Sony-branded premium system on this generation. Sony confirmed on Platinum, King Ranch, and Lariat trims via multiple forum threads (2011-2016 timeframe). this entry's pre-existing PAC APSUB-FD21 citation independently corroborates Sony as the factory amp — PAC gates that part to 2013-2016 within this entry's span, requiring 'the factory SONY amplifier,' consistent with (not contradicting) the forum-sourced 2011+ timeframe. 2008-2010 remains unconfirmed — real possibility the Audiophile-to-Sony switch happened partway through this generation rather than at its 2008 start. |
|---|---|
| Adding subs without a head-unit swap | Confirmed straightforward — real commercial direct-fit products exist specifically for this generation. |
| Head unit | No replacement needed |
Real, named commercial product confirmed specifically for this generation: a dual/triple subwoofer box design specifically accommodating a POWER MOTOR mechanism ('Dual/Triple with Power Motor BTS Subwoofer Box,' explicitly scoped to '08-16 SuperCrew Cab') — a real, distinct design consideration from the 1st Gen (1999-2007) companion entry's power-sliding-rear-window conflict, suggesting this generation's power accessory situation is handled differently (a compatible design exists here rather than an outright conflict). Real, separate commercial coverage also exists via Sound Solutions Audio, explicitly scoped to 2008-2013 Crew Cab.
Outside links. Some are commercial products, some are owner builds posted on forums — the label says which. We do not endorse any of them.

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.
